Mothers Day Cookie Cake
Treat Mom to something truly special this Mother's Day: our irresistible cookie cake! Bursting with homemade goodness, it's the perfect way to show her how much she means to you. Layers of sugar cookies, adorned with refreshing buttercream frosting and sprinkled with love.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Large Cookie Shapes (see notes for recipe - any shape works)
- Key Lime Buttercream
- Assorted royal icing flowers (see notes for recipe)
- Party Ring Biscuits
- Mini Marshmallow
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare your homemade elements in advance i.e. bake your cookies, make the buttercream and any piped decorations you require.
- Add the first cookie to a serving plate. Fill a tipless piping bag with buttercream, cut the end off and add dollops of buttercream to the cookie.
- Carefully place the second cookie on top, taking care not to squish the buttercream underneath. You want it to just nestle on top lightly.
- Pipe more buttercream dollops on the second layer.
- Add your decorations to the buttercream. There is no wrong way to do this so have fun and add as much, or as little as you like. Don't forget the sprinkles as well!

Notes
- Recommended Recipes:
- For the cookie layers: No Spread, No Chill Vegan Sugar Cookie
- For the buttercream: Key Lime Buttercream
- For the homemade decorations: Vegan Royal Icing
- Size: The cookies for this cake were made with a 10-inch cookie cutter. Any size cutter will work, as long as the layers are the same size and shape.
- Yield: We cut this cake into 4 generous portions.
- Storage: Once assembled, this cake should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Ideally, you want to serve it the day it is constructed so the decorations don't absorb moisture from the buttercream. You can also refrigerate the cake if you live in a warm climate.
- Freezing: I do not recommend freezing the assembled cookie cake as it will affect the decorated elements. That said, you could freeze the individual elements, such as the cookies and buttercream, and defrost them at room temperature when you are ready to construct the cake.
