Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix
- 1 container White Buttercream Frosting
- 1 food coloring red
- 48 Oreo Cookies
- 1 container Black Wilton Frosting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
- Mix your cake mix as directed.
- Line your cupcake tin with cupcakes liners.
- Spoon the cake batter into the cupcake liners (fill about ½ way up) and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely, and then frost.
- Generously frost each cupcake with a thin layer of white icing.
- Using a thin writing tip (I used a #4) take your black icing, start one side of the hair first, from the center down. (You will want to create a middle part) Add the other side of the hair and then add the eyes.
- To make the mouth use a small amount of your white frosting and add one drop of red food coloring to make pink. You can also use heart candies to make a cute simple mouth if you have any on hand.
- For the hair buns, use a dab of icing to stick Oreos to the sides of the cupcake liner. To get rid of the ‘white line’ from the creamy center of the Oreo simply run a thin layer of black frosting down the center of each Oreo.
