Oreo Cookies and Cream Frosting
So Pillsbury challenged me to spend a “device free” evening with my family. Now, this really shouldn’t be as hard as it is. You learn very quickly how many times you actually look at your phone, when your phone isn’t available. In all honestly, my kids didn’t struggle at all…it was ME who had the hardest time!

How to Make The Best Oreo Buttercream Frosting
The frosting is an easy buttercream with crushed up chocolate sandwich cookies mixed right in… Licking the spatula happens to be Max’s favorite part…
Once we got the cake frosted we decided to get a little fancy with a drippy chocolate ganache on top. Super rustic, but oh so elegant! You would never know an 11 year old made this cake!
And part of the evening was playing with this cute little instant camera… If you don’t take a picture of the cake…did it ever exist?
And then of course we ate it!
Nothing better than conversation with your family and a slice of cake. When I get my kids involved in the kitchen it really sparks their creativity, which I love to see! Whether it’s coming up with recipes, or helping with the photography…it’s just so much fun to see. Try it out…just one evening every so often, put your devices away and really enjoy each other…and a slice of cake! *I partnered with Pillsbury Baking on this post, but all opinions are my own.
