To achieve that perfectly smooth texture and appearance, puree the blueberry jam in a food processor or blender before mixing into the buttercream.
If you’d like your cake to take on a more muted blue color, mix a 4:2:1 ratio of blue, purple, and orange gel food coloring into the buttercream frosting. We recommend 1/2 tsp blue, 1/4 tsp purple, and 1/8 tsp orange.
