Mix and bake cake mixes according to package directions. Divide the batter in half and set aside.
In a food processor, or in a ziploc bag, place one sleeve of Golden Oreo cookies in and pulse or crush with a rolling pin until coarse. Fold into the batter in the first bowl. Pour the batter into two greased 8x8 inch round cake pans. Bake according to package directions.
Line the muffin pan with liners and grease. Pour one tablespoon of batter into each cupcake liner, then top with a Golden Oreo. Cover with additional batter until cupcakes are filled ⅔ of the way full. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes.

If using Golden Oreos with chocolate insides, use chocolate frosting.
