Ingredients
- 2 Large Sugar Cookie Shapes (see notes - any shape works)
- 1 batch Key Lime Buttercream (see notes)
- Assorted royal icing flowers (see notes)

Instructions
- Prepare all components in advance: bake two matching sugar cookie layers, prepare the key lime buttercream, and have decorations ready.
- Place one cookie layer on a serving plate or cake board. Add the buttercream to a piping bag (either tipless or with a tip) and pipe dollops or swirls over the surface of the cookie.
- Gently place the second cookie layer on top, pressing lightly so that it nestles on top lightly.
- Pipe additional buttercream on the top layer.
- Decorate with royal icing flowers, sprinkles, mini vegan marshmallows, biscuits or toppings of choice.
- Slice and serve.
