ha ha ha I used to eat the filling and not want to eat the cookies (my mom would make me, or she wouldn't let me eat Oreos at all)
HAHAHA not so long ago I told my son that exact same thing. He doesn't like chocolate 
so that's what he would do. I would find scraped oreo's in the garbage.
When making frosting that uses confectioners sugar, I replace part of the confectioners sugar with flour. People always comment on how delicious my frostings are and how they aren't too sweet. For instance, my cream cheese frosting calls for 4 cups of confectioners sugar. I add 3 cups of confectioners sugar and one cup of flour.
HTH,

lazy_susan, I had to jump in here. Did you say you replace part of your sugar with flour? What kind of flour do you use and do you mix it any different? Does it pipe and smooth the same? Hmmm... intriguing I'd kinda like to try that I think. Does it change the texture? It seems like it would make it more gummy or something 
And here's another vote for the tofu oreos- they are yummy indeed.
Ok, may I be the forum moniter for a second - CC's own version of "The Church Lady" if you may. You can call me "The Forum Lady". 
We started off with a completely innocent post - talking about how cakes can be too sweet to some people and you girls got off track and started talking about Oreo's, Booze, and "Natural" food and stuff. I hope you know that "The Forum Lady" is sitting here shaking her head. Who is making you girls come up with this stuff...maybe SATAN!!!! 
And you girls didn't offer "The Forum Lady" any of your boozy cookie truffles. I am heartbroken and angry 
. How now will I bring this post back to it's innocent nature?
Happy Caking
Em "The Forum Lady"
Thanks for all the replies, I love all the different opinions and suggestions!
I do know overseas everything sweet is less sweet than in America, I am a naturalized American myself, I was not born here in the US, so I guess that is the reason why it frustrates me even MORE. My cakes are doctored up cake mixes, so to be fair, I call them half scratch half cake mix
(makes me feel better about my baking) ... and I do cut down the sugar on most of them!Anyway!!!! Will try the WBH buttercream, I've heard so much about it and I have the book
Thanks! Oh Christi, I'll bake you a cake!!!!! You know what I would LOVE to try?!? I want to send a cake on the mail to see how it travels, just for fun, but I would love the oppinion of a PRO with pics and everything, as I want to see all the before and after shots!
I wasn't getting any alert
k send it to....
I would love to have cake...
Now I have to go read everything I missed 
JKalman, you sound like me. I'm not an icing person at all. Even as a kid, I scraped the stuffing out of oreos, twinkies, etc. OK, I'm weird!
YES YOU ARE WEIRD
lol Scraping out the oreo and twinkie filling?????? Oh bag it up and send it my way
Those of you talking about oreos should try this:

It's like an oreo for grown-ups and it's divine!!!
OHHH my word... I've died and gone to Heaven!!!!!!
Thank you my friend 
Double Stuff??? EEEEEEEEEEEW!!!
I used to give my brother the 1/2 with the cream filling. I can eat them whole dipped in milk sometimes.. I actually prefer the Back to Nature brand "oreo" cookies.
I do think that there is a fine line between just enough sweet and too sweet.. it's hard to dance on it at times.
Jeanne I thought you were weird but now I KNOW you are LOL
OHHH My.. (ya know I just wuv ya )
I wuv ya too.. you can have the filling from my oreos anytime.

You got it girl! 
I want to try sending it Priority with hundreds of fragile / this side up signs all over the box! I'll PM you!
Oh and I'm glad I am not the only one not getting the alerts, I've been missing out on so much! 
What's up with that?!?
One more thing... just have to ask... 6250 posts?!? Do you ever sleep?
Ok... tried the refrigerator cake - after hunting down the chocolate wafers. Everyone loved it. If you don't like sweet sweets, make this!
For you nuts who don't like the cookie part of the Oreos, buy the white Oreos. They are delicious and I'm hooked on those too.
Oreo truffle recipe:
8oz cream cheese softened
36 regular Oreos
dipping chocolate
Ground the Oreos in a food processor very fine. Mix Oreos and cream cheese. The instructions say to make about 1 inch balls with the mix and then dip it in chocolate. I use 14.4 oz og double stuff Oreos because I like to use chocolate molds. I coat the inside of truffle molds with chocolate, pipe some mix in with a decorating bag, and then cover the top with chocolate. I like using the doublestuffed ones because its creamier and pipes easily.
Oh yeah, I didn't get any alerts either.
I loved the cake as did everyone who tasted it. I was asked to make another for someones birthday. The icing has very little sugar so taste the icing before putting it on the cake. Oh and it was ridiculously easy.
