Notes

Recipe adapted from Life Love Sugar Blog
I used number 11 tip to decorate. When you use other tip, the Oreo crumbs get stuck on the tip creating an ugly looking flower. OR, IF YOU WAN TO USE A FLOWER TIP, YOU CAN SET ASIDE ONE CUP OF THE ICING BEFORE ADDING THE OREO AND JUST COLOR IT BY ADDING A SMALL AMOUNT OF HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE POWDER TO GET A FLOWER EFFECT.
