Star Wars Birthday Cupcakes and Cookies

It's just as easy to whip up two dozen cupcakes as it is a plain old round cake. Top them off with star-shaped cookies for a special Star Wars touch!Have your birthday boy choose his favorite store-bought cake mix and frosting flavors. Bake off the cupcakes and let cool completely before frosting.

Then, using your favorite sugar cookie recipe, bake off a batch of star-shaped cookies decorated with shimmery colored sugar. The cookies should be small enough to fit on top of each cupcake. Try using a 2-inch cutter.
