    All things lemon are what summertime is all about! So you will love these cake mix lemon whoopie pies. The cakes are soft and made with a cake mix and then sandwiched in between a whipped blueberry cream cheese frosting. Very light and refreshing with each bite.

    Another kid friendly recipe, for those of you out there wanting to make your children into bakers! My youngest LOVES blueberries and kept on eating them while I was making the frosting. I can't blame him as fresh blueberries are amazing!

    Step by step instructions

    Lemon whoopie pies

    • Prepare oven and baking sheets: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
    • Cream butter: In a mixing bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy.

    Welcome

    About me Carrie Blaser

    Hi my name is Carrie. I am just a sassy girl from the midwest that has a sweet tooth for any type of dessert. I grew up in the kitchen and remember making my sister scrambled eggs at 8 years old. But I really fell in love with baking when I made my first Betty Crocker cake out of the box. I like to think that I have come a long way since then!
