Even with all of our Starry Night reviews, there are still cupcakes that haven’t been seen by our followers! Around Oreo’s 100 year anniversary, Starry Night went crazy creating Oreo-stuffed cupcakes. Being a cupcake lover AND an Oreo lover, how could I resist? I initially went in for what I thought would be a few cupcakes, and left with a dozen! Starry Night seems to always do this to me, but thankfully I have people to share with! While I was picking up my Oreo stuffed cupcakes, they also had a couple of candy themed cupcakes that made it into my dessert box.
One of my favorites from the cookies and candy themed collection was the Nutter Butter:
Starry Night’s chocolate ganache frosting is a perfect match for the peanut buttery goodness of the cupcake. This cupcake should be a permanent offering, it is THAT good!
Every other cupcake in the collection was also perfectly moist and delicious:
1: Oreo stuffed chocolate cake with American buttercream
2: Oreo stuffed red velvet cake with American buttercream
3: Oreo stuffed yellow cake with peanut butter frosting
4: Oreo stuffed chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting
5: Berry ‘licious – Berry Oreo stuffed yellow cake with berry buttercream
6: Choco Mint – Mint Oreo stuffed chocolate cake with chocolate mint buttercream
7: Junior Mint – Junior Mint stuffed yellow cake with chocolate mint butter cream
8: Twix – Twix stuffed yellow cake with caramel buttercream
Of course with stuffed cupcakes, we also have to show you the inside. The cookies held up well during baking and added a nice crunchy texture:
1: Example of the regular Oreo stuffed cake
2: Example of the Mint Oreo stuffed cake (you can see hints of the green Oreo cream)
3: Example of the Berry Oreo stuffed cake (you can see hints of the pink Oreo cream)
4: Twix stuffed cake
5: Junior Mint stuffed cake (this didn’t hold up as well as the cookies)
Starry Night’s Oreo and candy stuffed creations give you a great idea of the fun flavor combinations you will find in their bakery. More recently they also added a Samoa cupcake to the menu, fashioned after the popular Girl Scout’s cookie!
This cupcake has a caramel cake, frosted with chocolate ganache and topped with plenty of toasted coconut and half of a Samoa cookie! It’s the perfect execution of a Samoa in cupcake form.
There have been a few other new additions to the spring cupcake collection at Starry Night, so they will be seeing the Crusaders again soon!

Wow! All of those cupcakes look fantastic! I especially am drooling over the Samoa : ) I wish I lived closer to Westminster.
Jamie, I’ll admit I’m super jealous that Jenn got to try this cupcake and I didn’t!
Stacy, if they have it when I stopped by next week, maybe I’ll be nice and get one for you. 😉
Jenn, oh dearest, most wonderful, amazing, and always thoughtful twin, sister and friend of mine, you would make me the happiest little crusader ever if you would get one for me. 🙂
We still offer the oreo 🙂
the candy filled cupcakes are making a BIG comeback next week for Easter.
The week you had them was our “tester” run 🙂
thank you!
Thanks for clarifying, Shannon! The last time I was in for the St. Patty’s Day cupcakes (and Samoa!) I didn’t see them. But, I did see another one…I think it was chocolate chip cookie dough? I need it!
Is the samoa always available?
Starry Night has a bunch of flavors that they rotate, but not on a specific weekly schedule, so it’s best to call ahead if you are looking for something particular. They have some new summer flavors so I’m not sure if the Samoa has been retired for the season. You can also follow them on Facebook and ask through their page. They are usually pretty good at responding. 🙂
