Santa and Mickey, they are cute and I'm sure delicious too.

What you'll need:

Oreo's

1 box of chocolate cake mix

3 large eggs room temp

1/2c softened unsalted sweet cream butter

1c whole milk

1T pure vanilla extract

(For the Frosting)...

3c unsalted sweet cream butter, softened

6c powdered sugar

5-7T heavy whipping cream

2tsp vanilla extract

1 large piping bag with small star tip

red gel food coloring

1 container of holly leafy Wilton sprinkles

Create:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line your cupcake pan with

black cupcake liners. In a medium bowl add the cake mix, butter,

milk and vanilla extract and stir until combined. Fill cupcake

liners 3/4 of the way. Bake in the oven for about 21 minutes.

Cool completely before frosting.

While the cupcakes are cooking prepare your icing. Using a

mixer combine the butter, powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream

and vanilla and mix on a medium speed until combined and smooth.

Start splitting your Oreo apart, you wanna scrape all the icing

out of the Oreo. You need one Oreo per cupcake.

When you are ready to use the frosting scoop 1c of frosting

into the piping bag with the small star tip. Mix a few drops of

your red food coloring into the remaining frosting. Scoop that

into the piping bag with the large star.

Start frosting the cupcakes with the red frosting. Using the

white frosting pipe dollops of frosting onto the bottom of

the white of the red frosting to make the rim of the Santa

hat and pipe a dollop of white frosting up top for the white

ball of the Santa hat. Push to ears (the Oreo) into the sides

of the hat. Place 2 holly leaf sprinkles and 3 red ball sprinkles

onto the lower corner for a holly decoration. Now enjoy.
