Cookies and Cream Cupcakes {I made!}

I've been buying a lot of cupcakes as of late and decided it was time I made some of my own!

A week or so ago I whipped up these yummy cookies and cream cupcakes! I found the from scratch recipe on How to Eat A Cupcake. I love Oreos so these were a hit for me. I wasn't in the mood to try the frosting recipe she had posted, so instead I kinda revamped some cream cheese frosting recipes I already loved. Thanks again, Cassie. I love your blog...it brings so much inspiration to my cupcake and baking world!

I had a blast making these at like 9 p.m. It was great. I had a craving for cupcakes so I made them! Note: I loved putting half an Oreo on top. I'd do this immediately so the Oreo softens before serving. Also, I used vanilla bean paste for the very first time in this frosting recipe. More info to come!
