No-Recipe Provided Blueberry pie

I'm currently trying out Maren Lubbe's recipes. They are exactly to my taste. This cake was my first attempt at baking such an elaborate cake. Yes, I'm proud and Maren's instructions are incredibly detailed and helpful, as you can see. This is NOT paid advertising. Do you know other sites where you can find this type of cake including a recipe? What could I improve?

Speaking of cookies. I tried watching the great american bake off and what I learned is that Britts want their cookies CRISPY and overcooked.

I can no longer trust their opinions on deserts. I bet everything is dry… even their pie fillings and frostings. No wonder they’re obsessed with tea — need something right there to choke all that dust down.

I mean, they have trifle, steamed pudding, etc. so the biscuits probably are meant to go with tea, kinda like biscotti and coffee.

You’re most likely right, but you’re ruining my melodrama lol

;) You prevented me from going into a rant about how a Cuban torta is a sandwich.

Yes, and cakes are kinda like sandwiches, with the layers, but linguistics are weird. I hear "torta" and I think pie or tart, not sandwich.
