Request for Oreo Flavoured cake

Just had a request for an Oreo Flavoured wedding cake, anyone made this flavour cake?

Would be grateful for any advice on this as never tried this recipe!

Hi! I’ve made it a number of times! I usually do as it as a tuxedo (alternating layers of chocolate and vanilla cake). The icing between the layers is white buttercream that has Oreo cookie crumbs mixed in.
You could also do it as a chocolate cake with the same icing as above.
An unusual request for a wedding cake flavour!

Never tried this but if it helps, clear (synthetic) vanilla has exactly the same smell as the cream in the middle (if you want the name of the brand I’ll look it up for you) . I bought a bottle to use in homemade fondant but changed my mind once I smelled it. Artificial vanilla is not really my cup of tea!

This just looks like a rich and dark cake with crushed Oreo’s, but worth a look ..

Personally, I think I’d just make my standard mud cake mix and throw in some crushed Oreo’s, then add more to a vanilla buttercream for filling … Mmmmm got me wondering now !! x

Thanks everyone, it’s not a flavour request I’ve had before!
Thanks Yum Cakes and Treats I think your suggestion is probably the easiest and best option.
Swasen I am with you on the whole artificial vanilla flavour can’t stand it myself, even my son’s hate it. I would have to adapt it and just crush the biscuits into the buttercream.
Lou thanks for the link, mud cake idea sounds like the plan I think. They haven’t booked yet so not stressing just yet!

Sounds good Alpa, can’t wait to see the finished thing x

Oh! I forgot to add, I also mix in heavy cream into the buttercream icing (usually 1/3 of your liquid volume for your icing).
This gives it that creamy taste that is in Oreo cookies icing!

oh thank you Yum Cakes for the tip!

Sawsen I haven’t confirmed the booking yet, still putting together a quote. Will see if they come back or not after that. All depends on whether they want to pay for a tasty well decorated cake or not!

Fingers crossed! Or uncrossed if you’d rather not make it I guess XD I’d love one of your cakes myself :)

I usually use cream cheese with crush oreos between the chocolate cake layers. It`s yummy!
