Oreo Cake is a fun cake to make and serve! If you love Oreos, (and who doesn’t, especially now that there are different flavors), you will love this cake.
I made this Oreo Cake for my son’s 25th birthday. He loves Oreos, and he loved the cake. He also likes Swedish Fish and I tried to find some of the Swedish Fish Oreos that recently came out, but I couldn’t find them. That would have been great. Have fun with this cake.
