    Peppermint Oreo Cupcake Recipe

    Makes 24 cupcakes
    In order to make the frosting look like this, you will need a pastry bag and tips. I recommend this pastry set. It has everything you need to make most of the designs you see on the internet and Pinterest. While you can use a plastic baggie and pastry tips, I recommend the reusable bags. It is more cost efficient, more eco-friendly and in general, just easier to use.
