Inventive bake: Cakies n' Cream!!!! with special guest *MANDA*

One of my good friends, Amanda, came to Melbourne for a week for work experience and so I'm very happy to have her as a special guest on BAKINGTRAY =D!! We decided to bake one Friday night but didn't really have a recipe in mind, just a lot of packets of oreos and a leftover bottle of cream!! And so begins the start of our inventive bake!
I originally wanted to bake oreo cheesecake but we forgot to buy cream cheese =___=... so we decided to create our own cake! Here are the different layers:

1. Crushed Oreo biscuit layer
2. Nutella
3. Chocolate sponge
4. Whipped cream
5. Oreo biscut (whole)
6. Whipped cream
7. Chocolate sponge
8. Chocolate buttercream

It was pretty fun trying to think up the different layers as we went ^__^ and I'm glad they all turned out really well! So if you want to try it out.. here's the recipe!! Or you can use different elements of our cake and make up your own!
CAKIES AND CREAM - btw have to thank Annie for the inventive name =D we couldn't think of what to call it.. Chocoreo? Triple choc oreo cake? hehe.. but Cakies and Cream suited JUST FINE :D
