Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance can I make this cake?
You can make it up to 2 days ahead. Just keep it refrigerated and garnish just before serving.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, but thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
What can I substitute for graham crackers?
Vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits work well as a crust substitute.
Can I use store-bought whipped topping instead of whipping cream?
Absolutely. It simplifies the process and still gives a light, creamy texture.
