Oreo Mint- It's a Hit!

Like the near-rhyme?
So I mentioned in my last post that I was going to try and tackle Mint Oreo cupcakes. A co-worker has requested them a few times as that is his favorite cupcake from Georgetown Cupcake. I've never had GTCC but I'm not really a fan. They are, after all, my competition. Eventually I'll have to try one of their cupcakes but I have zero desire to wait in line for 20+ minutes for something I could bake myself. Also I'm not too interested in paying $3 for a cupcake. But anyway...

 The pressure was really on for these cupcakes. I'm not a globally recognized organization with my own reality show, I barely get views on this! I've blown off my co-workers request quite a bit since I started bringing in cupcakes to work so I finally felt obligated to try it out. I did my research and this is what I came up with.

In addition to half an Oreo on the top I also put half an Oreo on the bottom, like this blog did. Co-worker said he liked the oreo on the bottom a lot. It was a nice little surprise. He said he thought it was on par with GTCC. I was hoping to hear it was better but as the ladies are running a million dollar business, I accept. I think in the future I wont add such a big chunk of Oreo on the top, I didn't have one but I imagine it was tough to eat around. My biggest concern was feedback from Co-worker but everyone had great things to say.
