Frost the Cake
- Even the tops of each cake layer. Spoon a little frosting to the cake stand to anchor the cake. Add one layer of cake to the cake stand.
- Add 1 cup of frosting on top of the cake and spread to even it out. Add the second layer of cake.
- To frost cleanly without crumbs showing through, do a crumb coat. Spread a thin layer of frosting to the outside of the entire cake and refrigerate 2 hours Don't worry if there are chunks in the crumb coat first layer, just make sure the entire cake is coated.
- Once the coating is set, set aside 1 cup of frosting for decorating then cover the cake with the remaining frosting, smoothing with an offset spatula.
- Add the reserved frosting to a piping bag. Pipe swirled mounds of frosting around the top of the cake. Place an Oreo into each frosting mound.
