Walking past the Swiss Haus Bakery confirmed that the whoopie pie craze is still on strong. That's after the NYT love letter ran. Whoopie is in, but think about it: it's cake on cake, the cupcake of Oreo. Vegan Treats has been popping out these lovelies for years - in pumpkin, mint, peanut butter, and regular.
The pie that is whoopie has always been on my mind. There's something about whoopie pie that gets people all starry-eyed and weak. Nothing sophisticated about it. Calorie jammed and gloriously messy, yet most decidedly fun.
Everyone knows I major in Pie, but sometimes I slip into Cake, particularly if it includes the word Pie in it. My Boston Creme Pie is arguably better than most pie I have made. After baking up a fleet of whoopie pies, I found that my caking skills are truly getting there. I'm proud of enough of these that I'd consider a blind taste test up against the Amish version. Sometimes cocky is plain right.
Don't ask about my shoo-fly, though. I wasn't born with those jewels.
