- Red Velvet cake mix (and the eggs and oil to make the cake<\/li>\n
- Two cans of chocolate fudge frosting<\/li>\n
- Birthday\u00a0Cake Oreos<\/li>\n
- Mint Oreos<\/li>\n
- That weird Betty Crocker frosting in the aerosol can, in blue<\/li>\n
- Read-made\u00a0chocolate chip cookie dough<\/li>\n
- Sprinkles (here, she has gone patriotic with red, white, and blue)<\/li>\n
- 2 round cake pans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You don’t need the whipped topping. During the creative process, I convinced her that it was a bad idea, as the cake would have to be refrigerated, and our refrigerator looks like the place where leftovers go to die right now.<\/p>\n
Preheat your oven according to the directions on the cake mix you’re using and prepare you pans. We greased and floured the pans as per usual, but I also put down a layer of parchment paper, because I had no idea how her “vision” would play out. Then pat down a layer of cookie dough to cover the bottom of the pan.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nAdd a single-layer of Birthday Cake Oreos on top of the cookie dough.<\/p>\n

Once that step is completed, prepare your cake mix according to the directions on the box. Pour half of the mix into the cookie dough pan. In your second pan, pour in a thin layer of cake mix, then put a layer of the Mint Oreos on top of the cake batter. Pour the remaining batter into the pan.<\/p>\n

Bake the cakes according to the directions on the box. You might need to give it a little more time, just keep checking on it. This was totally an experiment, so we had no idea how long it would have to go in. I think we did thirty minutes. Your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n
Once the cakes are out of the oven, give them a while to cool down. When they’re cool, cover the bottom cake (the one with the cookie dough bottom) with frosting. You’re basically using the frosting to glue the top and bottom cakes together, so you could just do the cop, but I went ahead and slapped a crumb coat on the bottom while I was there.\u00a0Place the other cake on top of the bottom one:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThen, slap a crumb coat on the top, and frost the whole thing.<\/p>\n
After frosting, garnish the top with the remaining Oreos and anchor them with the blue icing:<\/p>\n
