wafers with birthday cake cream filling.\u00a0 The list of Oreo flavours goes on and on!\u00a0 I wish we could get all of the flavours in Canada- actually, strike that, no I don&#8217;t, as then I would eat them!\u00a0\u00a0 I found the Gingerbread Oreo&#8217;s on the shelf at Target this passed Christmas and they were so good!\u00a0 Paul hated them, so it worked out well for me.\u00a0 If you&#8217;ve been following me for a while, you will know that the Birthday Cake Oreo&#8217;s are my favourite!\u00a0 It&#8217;s the sprinkles.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking up ways to make amazing cakes is my favourite part of being a baker.\u00a0\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been wanting to make a Cookies &#8216;n Cream\/Oreo cake for a while now and I was set on making it overflowing with cookies!\u00a0 My favourite part of an Oreo is the filling, so I knew that I wanted to make a creamy filling for the cake, but I wanted it to be light and fluffy as opposed to heavy like the cookie version.<\/p>\n<p>The cake has three layers to it, two chocolate, and one vanilla, and each has chopped up Oreo&#8217;s floating around the batter.\u00a0 When the cookies bake, they soften up, so if you are worried about the cakes being crunchy, you can relax.\u00a0 No broken teeth will be had.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hNTsidPjynA\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\"

resembles sand.\u00a0 Add eggs and continue to mix.\u00a0 While mixer is turning, slowly add milk and vanilla.\u00a0 Mix until batter is smooth.\u00a0 Once batter is combined, add quartered

whisk attachment, whisk whipping cream until stiff peaks form.\u00a0 Set aside in the fridge.\u00a0 Switching to a paddle attachment in a clean bowl, beat cream cheese until cream cheese is soft.\u00a0 Add icing sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth.\u00a0 Add whipped cream to cream cheese mixture, and mix until smooth. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ensure that each cake layer is even and level.\u00a0 Place one chocolate cake on a cake board and smooth about 1\/2 cup of filling onto it in an even layer.\u00a0 Place the vanilla cake layer on next and repeat with a 1\/2 cup of filling.\u00a0 Smooth the filling on top.\u00a0 Place the second chocolate cake on top, and cover the entire cake in a layer of filling.\u00a0 At this point, I always like to place in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes (to set the cake).\u00a0 Apply a second coat to the cake with the filling.\u00a0 Place remaining filling into a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip (I used Ateco 827) and place in the fridge for later.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare chocolate ganache and pour onto the edge of cake, a small amount at a time.\u00a0 Place some crumbled Oreos in the centre of the cake, and using remaining filling, pipe large open stars in a circle.\u00a0 Place a half Oreo on top of every second star.\u00a0 Slice and serve!<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div
