Cookies and Cream Cake

This cake originated as a cupcake but I tweeked it a little and made it a cake instead.

I started with my favorite chocolate cake mix and made it according to the directions on the box. Set aside to cool.

The magic here is really in the frosting anyway.

Are you ready to gain a few pounds? Haha, but really it might happen when you tast it.

~Buttercream frosting~

   1 stick butter (don't use margarine its yucky) room temperature. Not melted, but they way it is when you leave it out and go to grab it and use a little to much force and it squishes everywhere, ya thats right.

        3 to 3 1/2 cups powerdered sugar (this depends on how creamy you want it so start with 3 and work your way up.)

3-4 TBS milk  (again this goes back to the creamyness start with 3)                                        

1 1/2 tsp vanilla                  

Whip butter for 30 sec. slowly add sugar, milk and vanilla.

Generously frost cake.

Take 18 Oreo cookies place them in a ziploc bag and smash them into wonderful little pieces. Pour oreo pieces over frosted cake and enjoy. But remember you have been warned.

                                                                                                     

Baby shower cake

Apparently we're a bunch of slackers on the blog as of late. Maybe it's because our cute Harmony finally had baby #3....and it was a girl!
Last Friday we decided to have a surprise baby shower for her at Brick Oven. It was kind of hard to plan only because they decided not for find out the sex (as you've read in her previous posts) I took on the task of making her a cute cake. NEVEr made this kind before. And I've gotta tell you- Im impressed with myself. Not an expert, but pretty darn good for the first time wouldn't you think?

Oreo Icecream Dessert

This is my new favorite dessert. I found the recipe online and tweaked it a little bit.

2 rows of Oreos 

(I found that the cool mint oreos are the best)

1/4 cup melted butter

NOW:

smash Oreos in a zip lock bag and pour on bottom of 9x13 pan. Drizzle butter on top and mix with a fork

2 boxes of ice cream sandwiches 

NEXT:

 layer your ice cream sandwiches on top of Oreos

(I like to let them soften a little bit then squish ( yes, squish) them down until the ice-cream comes out and it fills in the holes so you cant see the Oreo layer...does this make sense?)

1 jar of hershey's hot fudge

 

Spread the hot fudge on top and stick in freezer for about 20 min

(melt in it microwave a few seconds to soften it a tiny bit but don't let it get hot or it'll melt the ice-cream!)

1 container of cool whip

Spread cool whip on top and layer with extra oreo crumbs

I drizzled the extra hot fudge over the whole thing with a fork to make it look nice
THEN: PUT IT BACK IN THE FREEZER CAUSE ITS BETTER FROZEN!

ENJOY!
