Oreo Cupcakes Part 2

As promised I spent last night finishing up my cupcakes. I always use the the same icing recipe (my own) with different variations depending on what I am making. I made a smaller batch this time as the cupcakes are mini and there was not very many of them. Here is my basic buttercream recipe:

1/2 cup butter alternative (I use the PC brand from superstore)

1 cup icing sugar

1 tsp or so of vanilla

Sometimes I add a little cream of tartar to thicken it up

To make the icing taste like cookies and cream I opened up some mini Oreos and scraped the white centers into my icing mixture, I then crushed the cookie parts into a fine dust and folded those into the icing to finish it off. This was difficult because I had to fight of Fang who was non stop trying to get into the bowl (that boy loves icing!). Here are the finished cupcakes.
