Two pieces of blueberry boy bait crumbcake on a plate with a fork.

I kid you not. 6:20am on Sunday morning and I’m enjoying the silence and a cup of coffee, hidden away in a corner of the house while this experimental blueberry crumb cake is baking.

“Pish pish pish pish.”

A little barefoot person is coming down the stairs.

“Pish pish pish“

Shuffling into the kitchen.

“Sniff sniff“

Smelling the baking buckle.

(Long pause)

“MOM!!! WHAT IS THAT AMAZING SMELL!?!”

And that was the end of quiet coffee time.

Of course he didn’t believe me when I said it was called “Blueberry Boy Bait”. And I certainly didn’t take the name seriously when I decided to bake it early in the morning during my quiet hours.

But here it is. Blueberry Boy Bait. For real.
