OREO Pull-Apart Touchdown Cake |
Author: Busy Mommy
Prep time: 1 hour 15 mins
Total time: 1 hour 15 mins
- 25 OREO Cookies, divided
- 1 pkg. (2-layer size) devil's food cake mix – I used the Hy-Vee brand
- 8 pretzel sticks (4 inch)
- 2 oz. white baking chocolate, melted
- 1 tsp. EACH yellow and red nonpareils
- 2 containers (16 oz. each) ready-to-spread white frosting, divided – I used the Hy-Vee brand
- ¼ tsp. green food coloring (about 24 drops)
- ¼ cup green sprinkles
- 22 SOUR PATCH KIDS Soft & Chewy Candies
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- Reserve 1 cookie for later use. Place remaining cookies in 24 paper-lined muffin cups. Prepare cake batter as directed on package; spoon over cookies in muffin pans. Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool in pans 5 min.; remove to wire racks. Cool completely.
- Meanwhile, use pretzels to make 2 goalposts on sheet of waxed paper. Drizzle with melted chocolate, then sprinkle with nonpareils. Let stand until chocolate is firm.
- Remove and discard paper liners from cupcakes. Arrange cupcakes, with cookie sides up and sides touching, in rectangular shape on platter.
- Spoon ¼ cup frosting into pastry bag fitted with small round tip; reserve for later use. Spoon remaining frosting into medium bowl; stir in food coloring. Spoon into separate pastry bag fitted with star tip.
- Pipe green frosting onto cupcakes to resemble grass on a football field as shown in photo; top with green sprinkles. Use some of the white frosting to decorate top of reserved cookie to resemble a football. Use remaining white frosting to add the lines and 50-yard marking on the football field.
- Insert goal posts into top of cake, then decorate top of cake with football cookie and SOUR PATCH KIDS Candies just before serving.
