This is simple to make and even easier if you stop at your local grocery store to buy it!

Buy or make 18 chocolate or vanilla cupcakes.

Buy or make your favorite buttercream frosting.

Cover the top of the cupcakes with a layer of white or vanilla buttercream.

If you use thawed Cool Whip , its even easier.

Add some red food coloring to a batch of frosting for stripes.

Add some blue food coloring to a batch of frosting for the background of the stars area.

You can buy pre-made candy stars or use jelly beans, or candy for the stars.

You can pipe frosting around the sides with canned frosting or a pastry bag.

If you use Cool Whip frosting be sure to refrigerate the cake.

Happy July 4th!
