Mini cake and Cupcakes

I made this mini cake for a cake walk at our church. The top layer is only 3" diameter, and the bottom is 6". The whole thing is about 8" tall and is absolutely adorable! The girl who won it was totally ecstatic. :) This would make such a cute birthday cake. :)

These are my favorite cupcakes ever! They are cookies n' cream-- vanilla cake studded with oreo chunks, half an oreo on the bottom and a big oreo stuck into the whipped cream cheese frosting!
