Crumbl Review: Birthday Cake Cookie ft. Oreo
This one immediately sounds like it could go either way — because you’re combining two very strong identities: birthday cake and Oreo. And both of those are usually sweet, rich, and very distinct. So the real question is whether they actually balance or just compete.
The base of the cookie leans heavily into that birthday cake flavour. It’s soft, slightly dense, and has that classic vanilla-forward sweetness that mimics cake batter. It’s not subtle at all — you know exactly what it’s going for right away.
Then you have the Oreo element, which adds both texture and a bit of chocolate contrast. The cookie pieces bring a slight crunch and break up the softness of the base, which helps a lot because without that, the cookie could feel too one-note.
Flavour-wise, though, the birthday cake side definitely leads. The Oreo doesn’t fully balance it out — it more so sits within it. You get hints of chocolate, but it’s not a full chocolate-and-vanilla balance. It’s more like a birthday cake cookie with Oreo mixed in rather than a true blend of both.
The sweetness is something to note here. It leans on the higher end, which makes sense given both flavour profiles. It’s not overwhelming in the first few bites, but it’s definitely a cookie you feel after a bit.
Texture is where this one works really well. The soft base combined with the small bits of Oreo keeps it from feeling too dense or too smooth. There’s enough variation to keep it interesting.
Overall, it’s a fun cookie, but it leans more toward novelty than balance.
Final Verdict:
A sweet, fun cookie that leans more birthday cake than Oreo. Good, but definitely on the sweeter side.
