No-Bake Birthday Cake

1 bakery-bought 8-inch layer cake, frosted
white and bordered in color of your choice
8 bakery-bought cupcakes with white frosting
8 theme-decorated cookies (i.e., birthday packages, sports, beach, sun and moon, etc.)

1. Cut dowels to the height of the sheet cake. Sink dowels around the center of the sheet cake to support the layer cake. Place the 8-inch layer cake in the center of sheet cake (on top of the dowels). Place 4 of the cupcakes on top of the layer cake; add 1 cookie in the center of the 4 cupcakes. Place the 4 remaining cupcakes on the corners of the sheet cake.
2. Decorate with cookies around cakes, pressing gently into frosting and/or inserting into the cupcakes. Use writing frosting for birthday wishes and place appropriate number of candles.
