Tips & Tricks (5)

Vibrant Yellow Frosting 🌞
Use gel food coloring instead of liquid to achieve a more intense yellow color without changing the frosting's consistency.
Oreo Placement Perfection 🍪
Freeze mini Oreo cookies for 10 minutes before decorating to prevent crumbling and ensure clean, precise placement on the cupcake.
Piping Technique Magic 🎨
Use a star-tipped piping bag and start from the center of the cupcake, spiraling outward to create perfect sunflower petal effects.
Cake Mix Enhancement 🥣
Replace water with whole milk and add an extra egg to the yellow cake mix for a richer, more moist cupcake texture.
Cookie Crumb Base Trick 🧁
Crush additional Oreo cookies and sprinkle them at the bottom of each cupcake liner for an unexpected flavor and textural surprise.
