I just pulled up the forecast and it looks like rain for the next week. I have been so board stuck in the house that I have been working on baking and back to school. These are my "Oreo Delight" cupcakes that received rave reviews last night. Next time I am going to attempt "Nutty Nummies".
Oreo Delights are easy:
I box of Double fudge cake mix. (Follow directions on box for mixing and baking- eggs, oil, water)
1 package of full size Oreos
1 bag (small) of small Oreos for decoration
This will make 24 cupcakes. After placing the liners in the pan, I added a whole Oreo to the bottom of 12 liners...the other 12 I left them out.
Follow direction on cake box for making the batter. Using a food processor take 1 sleeve of Oreos and process them into a powder. Add to batter and mix well. Bake following box directions.
Frosting:
8oz cream cheese-room temperature
3 3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 stick of butter-room temperature
1 tsp vanilla flavoring
Oreos
Cream together butter and cream cheese. Add sugar a little at a time. After the consistency is creamy add vanilla and mix. Finally take your last sleeve of Oreos and using the food processor make them into a powder and add to the frosting. Mix well. Now you are ready to frost and decorate!

I also decided on a border to match my new orange/coral background...BOHO birds! I have never been one to pick one theme and run with it. I love color, so I just mix and match and like to make it colorful for my kids. In the end it always looks great! Below you will see a few of my great deal finds from Books A Million, Dollar Tree, and Joann's. Teachers remember with your badge you can get 15% off at Joann's, and they have a nice teacher area.
