# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate vanilla extract. Sift in flour and salt, mixing until dough forms. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into desired shapes. Gently press edible flowers onto cookies. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
02 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a mini muffin tin. Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in lemon juice and zest. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; fold into wet ingredients until combined. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool and garnish with edible flower petals.
03 - In serving glasses, layer Greek yogurt, honey, and granola. Top with mixed fresh berries and edible flowers for decoration.
04 - Artfully arrange shortbread cookies, mini cakes, and yogurt parfaits on a large serving tray. Garnish with additional edible flowers if desired and serve immediately.
