Don’t lie. You know you scroll for hours on end while you should be doing something else more important. That’s right, I’m talking to you, pinterest lover. It’s ok, I’ve been reeled in too.

To those of you oblivious as to what pinterest is, it’s a website devoted to your every need. In my case, anyway. Whether you want do-it-yourself craft ideas, photography ideas, wedding ideas, recipes, you name it, pinterest is the site to go to. It’s for all of those creative people out there looking for inspiration. I have recently been drawn into this site because of one of my main passions: baking.

I seized the perfect opportunity to test out a recipe with my sister’s birthday this past weekend. My Oreo cupcakes were very well received. The batter as well as the icing was all from scratch, but I was confident they would be delicious. Taste of Home doesn’t disappoint.

You begin with taking one half of the Oreo with the cream facing up in the cupcake wrappers. After mixing up the vanilla cake batter, you crunch up Oreos and fold them in with a spatula. Pour the batter in the cupcake wrappers and bake for 18-20 minutes on 350. After they have cooled, whip up the frosting and ice each cupcake. Then, crunch up some more Oreos for a final touch. You end up with delicious cupcakes (pictured below).

One thing I would change would be to add pudding mix to make the cupcakes more moist, other than that, they were fantastic. Happy pinning!
