Chocolate Covered Oreo Cookie Cake

This was round number 2 of my cake making for my daughter's birthday party. I'm not one to make the same thing twice that often, so when I saw this recipe on pinterest it was yet another one that I wanted to try out! It was definitely worth making and might even be one that someone requests again... It was super yummy - especially the cream cheese filling! Wow! I doubled this to serve at the party and only had about half of the second one left when we were done. That was on top of the 2 lemon pies that we also had! :)
