It’s hard to believe that I have been blogging for over 8 years now. Some days it feels like I just started, and then other days it feels like it’s been forever. I have seen so many different changes in how things are done in blog land over the years.
Social media has definitely evolved the most over the past few years. There are so many things that you have to do now in order to have your recipes and stories seen by anyone. Of course, there is just no way to keep up with all of it as a one person business. So, I pick and choose my favorite medias and let the others slide. I’m looking at you twitter…
I get two questions about blogging all the time. Do you still enjoy writing stories and how do you keep coming up with new recipes? The answer to those is yes, and I can’t stop thinking of new things to make.
Every time I get a new idea for a recipe I put it into my notes on my phone or on a sheet of paper on my desk. At the moment, I could probably blog for another 10 years based on all the notes I have stashed everywhere. My brain just can’t stop thinking of fun new desserts and dinners. Most times they are totally new and original, and some times they are just a fun twist on a classic.
A few weeks ago I made this easy lemon strawberry poke cake and shared a video on Facebook. I had no idea that it was going to go so crazy over there. You guys really love your lemon and strawberry desserts. Although, there were quite a few people who said they would like to see a blueberry version.
Of course, that got the dessert wheels rolling on how I could change up the cake to incorporate the blueberries.
I realized that I have quite a few boxes of pudding just sitting in our pantry waiting for inspiration. So I decided on a white chocolate pudding mix and a vanilla cake mix. Blueberry pie filling and fresh blueberries on top were my first choice. Until I got to the store and found a few cans of mixed berry pie filling. All of a sudden I decided to change up the topping, so I could use a bunch of different berries on top.
By using red and blue berries it totally made this cake perfect for all those 4th of July picnics that you will be attending next month. This strawberry cheesecake poke cake is another fun red, white, and blue dessert that you might like for picnics.
Let’s talk about how easy it is to make this white chocolate berry pudding cake.
- First make your cake mix just like the box directions say. Let it cool about 5 minutes after you pull it out of the oven.
- Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the hot cake. That’s exactly how this fun cake got it’s name.
- Whisk together the pudding and milk and let it set for about 2 minutes in the fridge. Then pour it slowly over the top of the cake. You will need to use the back of a spoon to push the pudding down into the holes. Chill it in the fridge for a few hours.
- Gently stir together an entire container of Cool Whip and a can of pie filling. It makes the easiest and fluffiest frosting for this type of cake. Spread it on top.
- Sprinkle the fresh berries on top. Feel free to use more or less berries. I left a few spaces in the topping because I wanted to add white chocolate curls too.
- Use a veggie peeler to gently create little curls and flakes from a white chocolate baking bar. Sprinkle those on top right before serving.
- Boom! Easy peasy dessert with just a few ingredients. Gotta love a fresh summer dessert loaded with lots of berry goodness!
