As fresh blueberries ripen in the Juniper Cakery HQ garden what better way to enjoy the month of July than by including them in this month’s happy egg recipe! Everywhere you go you’ll see blueberries in drinks, yogurts, desserts and maybe even in your own garden too.

The tart taste of blueberry is perfect for a summer-themed cake recipe but the freshness they bring also makes them subtle enough to be paired with another flavour. The scent of fresh plants, trees and flowers have become a frequent enjoyment here at Juniper Cakery now that the warm, balmy weather is finally here; the most prominent of all being lavender!

Lavender would bring subtle tones of floral flavour to an otherwise all fruit recipe so our minds were soon made up; this month’s happy egg co. cake will be a white layer cake with blueberries and lavender baked in and filled with lashings of white chocolate buttercream! The natural, deep tones included in this month’s colour pallet are inspired by the blue and purple hues taken from the blueberries and lavender themselves.
