Oreo Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for a shower.  There are about 17,456,344 ways to make an Oreo cupcake....I tried two versions....easy. 

I used a chocolate boxed mix, and I poured in a little batter, added a whole cookie, then covered it with more batter and baked.

I also used a white cake mix and I chopped up about 16 oreos (into 6 rough pieces). 

I left in the cream in the cupcakes when I chopped them, stirred, poured into cups, and baked. 

I used the same icing for both.  I googled cream cheese icing, and then added 6 T of crushed oreos to the icing recipe (without the cream). 

Heres the Cream Cheese Icing recipe I used...my source is 'the internet'...I don't even know anymore, except it was just some recipe site: 

8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1 stick of butter (softened), 1 T. vanilla, 4 c. powdered sugar, 2 T. heavy cream.  I had to double this, and it covered 26 cupcakes. 

I didn't add the oreo on top until about an hour or so before the party b/c they get soft fast.  The party post will be here tomorrow.
