Blueberry Whoopie Pies
I've become a lover of the American Whoopie Pie! Since purchasing a whole book dedicated to them, The Whoopie Pie Book by Claire Ptak, baking has become a regular pastime in my home!
Blueberries are delicious, you can have them with lots of desserts such as yoghurt, ice-cream, pancakes, porridge and so on. I wanted to incorporate them into a whoopie pie baking session so decided to create my own version on the Blackberry Whoopie and use Blueberries instead.
Here is how you create these delicious whoopies, whack some music on and get your apron on :)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
125g unsalted butter, softened
200g caster sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
50ml whole milk
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
150g fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
400ml double cream
2. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
3. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer with the flat beater. Add the egg and vanilla; mix well.
4. Measure the milk into a liquid measuring cup and add the lemon juice. It will curdle. Beat this into the butter mixture. Add the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Chill for 30 minutes.
5. Drop 18 large or 48 small scoops of batter, about 2 inches apart, onto the baking sheets. Press a few blueberries into each scoop. Bake 10-12 minutes for large whoopies, or 8-10 minutes for minis, until the cakes are left with a slight impression when touched with a finger. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. For the blueberry cream filling, mix the berries with the sugar, vanilla and lemon juice, using a fork to break up the berries a little. Let macerate for 10 minutes.
Whisk the cream until it just starts to thicken. Fold in the berries and chill for at least 10 minutes before using.
8. To serve, spread a generous scoop of blueberry cream on the flat surface of a cooled whoopie.
AND THEN EAT :):)

I'm absolutely obsessed with Instagram and i decided i wanted to try create something with all the images i've got, I found Printstagram, its a site that you log into your Instagram with and can create lots of different things with! I decided to create a Poster so i can put it up in my new room! Excited for it to arrive!
You can create your own here- Printstagram
Handmade.
I've been getting a bit creative as i've had a bit of time off to get ready to move to Bristol with my best mate so I decided to make some cushions to go on our comfy sofa, I got the idea from working at Liberty last year, I had some left over fabric so wanted to use it wisely! I decided to sew hearts and pockets onto cream cushions!
Give it a go it's so easy and all you need is a plain cushion, some patterned fabric, a needle, scissors, thread, buttons and your good to go!
