10 things in 10 Years & Chocolate Oreo Cookie Cake

 
Over the weekend we drove eight hours to Colorado (oh wait it was more like 12 with a toddler and a newborn) to attend my 10 year high school reunion.  It was fun to see old friends and reminisce on our care-free, responsibility-free days of high school. I’ve been thinking about all that has happened in my life over the last 10 years since graduating high school and I’ve come up with a list of 10 things I’ve done in the last 10 years….
 
 
1. I graduated from high school and college. 
 
2.  In an attempt to be rebellious  (right after high school) I pierced my belly button.  Then took it out a month later because I felt bad.   
 
3.  I lived in three states: Colorado, Oregon, and Utah.  
 
4. I toured Europe for two weeks playing volleyball with my teammates at Oregon State University. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

5. I got the most expensive ticket I’ve ever had, and not for speeding–$260 for failing to yield to a pedestrian (no, I didn’t hit him). Is that expensive? I thought it was.

6. I ate sushi for the first time in my life, and fell in love with it.

7.  I met my hot, hunk of a husband, and fell in love with him too! Then I married the guy:)

 

8.  I started this blog.

9.  I became a mother- had two kids, one in which his arrival caused me to have my first major surgery, a c-section.

10.  I made this Chocolate Oreo Cookie Cake for said blog (and fell in love with it too!)

It’s like the biggest Oreo cookie you’ll ever eat, in the form of a cake.   Eating just one slice would be like taking just one bite out of an Oreo…and we know that never. ever. happens.  Ever.
 

 
 

Did I mention the giant Oreo Cookie Cake is drenched in creamy chocolate frosting?  Or that you’ll probably eat it for breakfast? 

Be prepared.

Chocolate Oreo Cookie Cake
 
Ingredients
1 pkg chocolate cake mix
12 ounces milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup whipping cream or milk
1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese, soft
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups cool whip, thawed
12-14 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
Grease two 9 inch round cake pans and set aside.
Prepare cake mix according to package directions and divide evenly into the two 9-inch round pans. Bake for directed time. 
Cool cakes for 10 minutes before inverting onto cooling racks.
Microwave chocolate chips and whipping cream in a small bowl on high for two minutes or until chocolate is melted (stir every 20 seconds).  Stir until completely melted then let cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.  Gently stir cool whip and crushed Oreos.  Reserve some of the crumbs to sprinkle on top of the cake.
Place one cake layer on a cake plate, spread the cream cheese mixture then place the other cake layer on top.  Spread with the chocolate glaze.  You can cover the sides completely or just spread over the top and let the glaze kind of spill over the edges.
Let stand 10 minutes and refrigerate until serving.

  3. Oh my goodness! This cake looks amazing! I think I’ll make it for my birthday coming up.

    I pierced my belly button after I graduated and I also took it out a month later because I felt bad. 🙂

  8. Hey Kristy! That was a fun 10 year course for you…Reminiscing that must have been truly heartwarming. Come to think of it, the biggest decisions came during this past 10 years of your life, falling in love, getting married, being a mom, starting the blog…You have accomplished so much! You deserve a pat on the back, or a magnificent cake, for that matter. This is truly delicious. I swear, I can eat the whole thing LOL! A must try!
