We liked this, it was pretty good. It's going into my keeper file. I wasn't sure what to do in step 8 when it says to add the cream cheese cubes so I just folded them in like the blueberries which left little chunks of cream cheese throughout the finished cake. I'm not sure if that's how it's meant to be or not but next time, I'll add those earlier, after step 3 so the cream cheese mixes in nicely. I think we'd like that better. I will also double the crumbs next time. I added a powder sugar drizzle type glaze to this to give it a little extra kick. My little girl loves blueberries so this was a hit with her. Thanks for posting! Made for Pick a Chef Spring 2009.

HI! I'm currently a student and stay at home mom. My son Caden just turned two and he is my little buddy. He loves helping mommy in the kitchen. My husband and I love trying new foods. I really enjoy making things I've never tried before because of the sense of accomplishment when it's actually good! I'm a big fan of curling up on the couch on Sunday afternoon and eating a bunch of munchies while watching football. I hope recipezaar will be able to expand my cookbook and hopefully NOT my waist!! lol...Happy Cooking!
