Yearly marked on the 4^th last day of the first month, National Blueberry Pancake Day marks the day where different cake varieties are prepared, depending on the specific preferences of the people partisan to that celebration. While some people would prefer their blueberries integrated with pancakes, others prefer them with hotcakes, and others yet with flapjack cakes. As such, it has become a rather exciting fact that these different cake varieties can be made sweeter as well as savory, and what better way to do this than with blueberries!
