Moist Vanilla Cupcake with an oreo cookie base and piped with White Chocolate Buttercream . This is perfection in a cupcake, an absolute delight.
Inspiration can literally come from anywhere, could be from a pair of shoes, music, from family. This came from my little cousin after she asked for an Oreo cupcake recipe. She loves oreo cookies and i love them as well. So i didn’t think twice about making these oreo cupcakes. The cupcakes are soft and moist with an oreo cookie base. To compliment this yummy vanilla oreo cupcake is white chocolate buttercream swirls. I have shared a video showing how to pipe them.
I used a large 1M open star to pipe the buttercream swirls on the cupcake. When piping buttercream swirls i start on the outside of the cupcake, gently squeezing the piping bag and allowing the buttercream to fall onto the cupcake. Keep piping round the cupcake , keeping the tip of the nozzle raised slightly above the cupcake. As you pipe make the circles smaller till you get to the centre of the cupcake.
If you love cupcakes and cookies, then you are in for a treat with this .
Wishing everyone a Happy Easter.
