Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make a Lemon and Blueberry Cookie Stack

Step One: Make your cookie dough and cut out your cookies

For this step, we used the fantastic FunCakes Plain Cookie Mix, but you can, of course, use your own recipe! We used the Ateco Fluted Round Cutter to create this cute shape.

Step Two: Bake your cookies

Pop your cookies in the oven to bake - the FunCakes mix takes around 12mins at 180°C (convection oven 160°C).

Step Three: Make and colour your buttercream

Make buttercream using your favourite recipe or choose one of our ready-made tubs. Add a little lemon flavouring (we used the delicious FunCakes Lemon Meringue Flavour Paste) and some pastel yellow colouring (we used Colour Mill's Oil Blend in Lemon).

Step Four: Stick two cookies to your cake board

Pipe a little buttercream on to the back of two cookies and press them on to your cake board to form the base of each stack!

Step Five: Pipe a layer of buttercream

Using an open star piping tip, pipe around the edge of your base cookies, creating a pretty border with individual shells.

Step Six: Layer your cookies and buttercream

Place a second cookie on top of the buttercream border and repeat the process so you have a tower of three cookies. Pipe three little shells in the middle of the top cookie for a final flourish.

Step Seven: Make your sugarpaste blueberries

Using navy sugarpaste, roll blueberry sized balls of fondant and add detail with a dresden tool.

Step Eight: Add decorations to your cookies

Place a piece of dried lemon (we use these perfect slices from Nurtured in Norfolk) and two or three of your sugarpaste blueberries on the top of your stacks, using your buttercream to secure them.

Step Nine: Finish with a dash of sprinkles and some edible lustre

Last but not least, add some of your favourite sprinkles - we used the beautiful Lemon Squeezy mix from Super Streusel. Spray with a little edible lustre spray for a hint of shimmer and you're done!

Ready to make your own cookie stack?

We had so much fun making these cookie stacks! The lemon flavouring is so delicious, but the best part is that you can change up the flavouring and colouring of your buttercream and create any theme you want!
