How to Make Chocolate Flower Pot Cupcakes:

Bake 18-20 minutes. Insert a toothpick around 18 minutes, if it comes out ‘dry’ the cupcakes are done. Remove the cupcakes from the oven let cool completely. Scrape the filling from the Oreos and place in a food processor OR put in a large freezer bag and crush using a rolling in. Pour the crushed cookies into a small dish. Once the cupcakes have cooled, gently press each cupcake into the small terra cotta pot.

Generously frost each cupcake with chocolate frosting.

Dip the cupcake upside down in the crushed Oreo cookies.

Place a small dab of frosting on the back of the Wilton flower icings and place on the top of the cupcakes.

Gently press a Wilton leaf icing into the cupcake next to the flower.

Repeat with all cupcakes. Best served with a spoon or a fork.
