sweet inspiration & fun baking ideas

Never heard of them! But I’m excited about them now! YUM!

i’m a pro at eating them and would love to make them!

Love them. I remember eating them a lot as a child. I think my mom bought them but I really don’t remember.

Not sure where to buy them but there is actually a Weight Watcher’s recipe that is really good for Whoopie Pies and is low cal.

My grandmother used to make whoopie pies (chocolate ones with classic white filling) for us all the time when my brother and I were younger. As we got older, we also helped make them, but I haven’t had them in years. I have never heard of anyone else making them, but I’m thinking I will have to make them for the people at my work pretty soon!

I made red velvet whoopie pies once but i put ice cream in the middle of them :)

i have never made whoopies but you have inspired me to do so now!!!! i love to bake <3

I’ve heard of them but never made them. I love the fact that you can mix and match so many different varieties of cakes and fillings. The possibilities are endless!!!

I LOVE whoopie pies. And I love the “new” flavors. Growing up there was pretty much only the chocolate with white filling. From what I have always known they are a PA Dutch treat , from the heart of Amish Country in Lancaster County. However I have girlfriends from the Johnstown area and they know them as a “Gob”.

They look yummy! I want to make some soon!

Gorgeous gorgeous Gorgeous! I feel like chocolate chip ones would be the ideal sweet treat!

Wow! who invented this must me very creative. I never heard of them, ate, them, saw them neither made them!

Always ate these as a kid! Looking at those photos brings back memories… I would love to learn how to make ‘em!

I had never heard of them until I married my husband whom is from Oklahoma. I still have yet to try them but want to and am sure my 5 year old would love them.

I love me a good whoopie pie!! :) I love the consistency of the cake in the bite sized loveliness of a cookie.

I just bought my sister a whoopie pie pan yesterday. I will insist she try these first!!

Wow! who invented this must me very creative. I never heard of them, ate, them, saw them neither made them!

hahaha was too excited I forgot to put my name!

I’ve never made whoopie pies, but I have eaten some store bought ones, they were pretty good.

yummmm…. i’ve never made them but i would LOVE to try!!=)

never heard of them here in the Netherlands butttt to me they look jummmmie jummie i will give them a try….

the look like soft macaroons :o)

I really really hope I win this! I love Whoppie pies, I’ve tried my hand at a few varities. Dark chocolate and orange creme. Chocolate and peanut butter. I really want to try an oatmeal cream whoppie next!

I LOVE Whoopie Pies. I have never made them myself but they sound fairly easy to bake. We get them from our local Trader Joes :)

Those look so delicious! I am salivating through the screen! Thanks so much for the giveaway! The book looks adorable!

I’ve heard of them but have never made them. I think I’ll have to give these a shot. They look so delicious!

A friend made these for me recently and I just tried to make them and they didn’t turn out that great. I would LOVE to win this and learn some more about making Whoopie .. lol
They are so delicious! (:

I’ve never heard of them… but I think they may solve a dessert dilemma I was having!

I’ve never, ever tried whoopie pies. I’ve always promised myself I’d make them some day, but haven’t quite found a recipe that looks promising. Perhaps I’ll try this one soon, as there isn’t a single place in Albuquerque that I can find these! At least not that I know of.. And I just can’t die not knowing the wonder of whoopie pies!

I made whoopie pies once about thirteen years ago. I was fourteen and feeling adventurous in the kitchen. I really need to make them again, they were good!

I wonder if Moon Pies are the same as Whoopie Pies? I’ve seen those around in bloggy land, but have never had one. They look similar.

never made them before, but have tasted some from the corner store…they’re called “Mamut” the filling’s made with marshmallow and strawberry jelly, and all the sandwich covered with chocolate, its very very yummy … never would imagine how to make them and that they would look so fun … hope to win …good vibes for all

I’ve seen them made on the Food Network, but I’ve never tried one myself. They look delish though!

Heard of them, never eaten them or made them. But now I really, really want to.

Never heard of them in Aus! But they kinda remind me of yo-yos but with chocolate… YUM!

I’ve heard of them but never had one or eaten one. They look fun and delicious though!

never tried to bake any of these, but will definitely try to bake it together with my daughter…!!

Ooooh, that looks sooo delicious. I think I have to HAVE that book! :o)

I have heard of and eaten whoopie pies! I am from Pittsburgh and the chocolate cake with white filling are called Gobs by most people who make/eat them. They are YUMMY!!!!

I have been making whoopie pies for years. I got my recipe out of Gourmet. If I really want to thank someone, I make a batch. They are sooo good. I have only made chocolate with the marshmallow-y filling, but maybe it is time to branch out? I used to live in western PA and they call them Gobs.

I want one of those now! :)

I had a roommate who made some delicious whoope pies but hers were pumpkin and so so sooo sinfully delicious. I’ll bet a grasshopper version would be divine, too.

Heard of them, eaten them, always wanted to make them!!!!

never tried before this ones…will be a nice oportunity to have some new & fresh ideas for party’s ‘)

I’ve heard of them but never had them! They look absolutely yummy!!

I loove whoopie pies! I buy the trader joes ones all the time but never found a good recipe to try. Now I have one!

I’ve never heard, made, or eaten them! But I would LOVE to do all 3!! :)

I have only heard of whoopies on your blog…and I have yet to make them =] But chocolate Peanut Butter sounds soooo tempting. You have convinced me to try! =]

I may need to buy that book now! YUM! Your photos are wonderful.

Oh wow these sound great! I have never heard of them but would love to make em :)

heard of them, and loved the retired Ben & Jerry’s flavor devoted to them. But I’ve never actually tried them. They look delicious!!

I’ve heard of them, and tried them but it was from Corner Bakery. Probably not the best source of delicious baked goods. Never made them.. maybe I’ll pick this book up!

My grandma used to make these when I was little! I can’t wait to try making them now that I have kids of my own to enjoy this yummy treat :o)

I have never heard of whoppie pies, but oh my goodness do they look amazing! Me please! :D

Thanks for the chance! :)

Haven’t made ‘em but the Kroger near me now makes them in the bakery. Would love the opportunity to make some and take to them!

PS – You totally rock Bakerella. :o)

I never heard of whoopie pies, but these look definitely too delicious to not try! I’d LOVE to win this book and try every recipe for my kids and me!

I have never heard of them. But they look very very good. I would love to win the book. Good Luck to me!

I’ve heard of them before, but I’ve never tried to make them myself – but I’d love to! :)

I have never heard of or had a whoopie but they look delicius ans def want to try one – I hope to win :)

Absolutely love whoopie pies! Easy to make and fabulous for kids, they love them! Pumpkin with cream cheese filling is my absolute fave!!

My daughter’s preschool teacher made them one day and that was my first experience with whoopie pies, but I have been meaning to try making them ever since. This book would be so helpful! :-)

I’ve seen them at Ralph’s. Almost bought the red velvet with cream cheese filling ones, but I decided to be good heehee

i have always wanted to make whoopies and thought they had to be perfect… there is a pan to make them more even but i think this way works just as well… i hope i win!!!

Here in the South, Whoopie Pies are quite the staple. Yes, I’ve heard of them, but have never been so brave as to make them. I think that’s about to change though.

I’ve heard of them but have never made them. You make it look so easy!! I want to try a few recipes now..

I actually have this book and I love whoopie pies, I’ve known about them for ages, but same thing, no one knew what they were when I was handing them out.

I’ve heard of them, I’ve never made them, have never even tasted one. I’ve been wanting to make them. I really want to make red velvet whoopie pies!

i’ve never made them… but it would be fun to try!

I’ve never made but I have heard of them. There is this adorable bakery about 30 minutes outside my hometown called the Busy Bee Bakery. They make them fresh there and they are amazing! And HUGE! One Whoopie Pie is almost 5 inches across and a few inches tall! It’s definitely a two person job!

never heard of them, but they sound like just the thing my family would enjoy – both the making of and the eating bit!

I have made them, my husbands grandmother’s recipe – you know the one with 1 cup of shortening!

These are just TOO cute! I can’t say I’ve heard of them… but I would love to make whoopies! Looks like something cute to do with my daughter and nephew who are quite the interested lil kitchen crew!

I’ve never heard them called this… but I remember all of the grandmas in my small town making “sweetie pies.” They were a lot like these, except they were always chocolate cookies with lemon-flavored filling. Yum!

Maybe they’re a New England thing – we all know about makin woopie! I had a neighbor when I was little that I can literally still hear her yelling, “want some wooooooopie, kiddo?”

We love those things up here! That book looks too cute.

Tomorrow I will run out and buy all the ingredients to make these obviously evil (for my diet at least) yummy looking things. I’ve never made them before but tomorrow will be my first try!

Never heard of them until I was in Pennsylvania in May. Amish country…. every roadside stand has them!! They are most delicious!! My favorite is the oatmeal raisin whoopie pie. YUM. I MUST have that cookbook!!! :)

I’ve heard of them but I’ve never had a whoopie pie

I’ve never had a whoopie pie before but they look delicious!!

I have never heard of them. They look fab and my next baking challenge.

I’ve made them once before and I didn’t like them so much, but everyone else did. I’m all for second chances though!

I love whoopie pies! They are so simple and easy to make and very very yummy!

Yes I have heard of them and have eaten them. You had me at peanut butter chips! YUMMMMMM

I have never heard of them. I think we do not know these cookies in the Netherlands, if I translate it it would be something as ‘Feestelijke/Joepie Taartjes’. Never eaten them but they look a little bit like macarons, but then with cookies.
I definitely want to make some of those Woopie Pies!

I would love to win this! I keep seeing them at the market, and always think how good they look….but thought they would not taste as good as they look! This is the post I’ve been waiting for…I would love to make these!!!

I’ve heard of them, but never made them!

I had one when I was younger but I didn’t know that was what they were called. Looks yummy!

Love this post!! I see these in Trader’s Joe’s all the time and my husband is from NY but has never had or heard of a Whoopie Pie, I’m from PA and I had them all the time as a kid.. The Classic chocolate with White Filling…

I love everything vintage: Mad Men, Candy Cigarettes, Retro Clothes & Decor & classic candy. Last year while on vacation we visited an old school candy shop & they had whoopie pies, i was so excited!!! I’ve NEVER made whoopie pies BUT need to change that asap. Thanks for sharing this super cute book!

I’ve heard of Woopie Pies, but have never made them or even eaten them. I’d love this book and I promise I’d make lots of Woopie! And Woopie Pies, too…

Yum town! Kinda like a macaron but not so much muckin around – Whoopie!! I cannot wait to try them with the peanut butter filling.

i have been eyeballing this book for a while it looks like so much fun!
i tried making a batch a while ago but it didn’t come out right….. i will have to try the recipe you posted!

I live in Maine, and they are super popular. However, a lot of places that sell them make the cookie/cake part of it really sticky and messy. I have a recipe very similar to yours, but I like to do half of them filled with a peanut butter filling and the other half with a neon colored buttercream. I also have a pumpkin chocolate chip recipe to die for, its filled with a cream cheese filling! Doesn’t get any better than Whoopie Pies! :)

I have heard of them but never made them before. Most recipes I have found use marshmallow fluff which is hard to get hold of in the UK. Thanks for the recipe I am going to give them a go ….chocolate and peanut butter are a fab combo.

They look yummy! Whoopie Goldberg and whoopie on the Newlywed Show back in the 70s and 80s are the only whoopie I have run into thus far.

My mom used to make the classic chocolate/vanilla version growing up, although she always called them “Gobs.” (A name I still love.)

When we made them, the recipe made so many batches that we had cakes lined up on every counter surface. It was quite the production. We’d then wrap every Gob individually in waxed paper and freeze them. Gobs and gobs of Gobs. :D

I’ve heard of them, but never ate or seen them before. But they sure look yummy!!!

I have never made woopie pies but a friend of mine did last Thanksgiving. She made pumpkin with a cream cheese filling. So So Good

I never made them but heard of them at the local Italian cafe. The whoopie pie images looks so delicious, it’s making my mouth water. I definitely would like to learn more and make them someday. I wonder if all whoopie pie recipe uses vegetable shortening?

Thank you for the opportunity to win the book!

Blushing about the question “have you ever made whoopies?” aside, I have spotted these on Amy Atlas’ gorgeous blog, then found the book in a local cafe and had an attack of lust – my boyfriend made me put it down (jealous), so I just bought a really over-priced kitchen counter spray instead. Hmph.

i made whoopi pies for the first time for my super bowl party. my dad (and everyone else) loved them. he said they reminded him of the store bought chocolate cakes from his childhood. but much better of course :-)

These are big in Pennsylvania where my family originates from. I haven’t made them in years and I only ever used to make the pumpkin variety. Never thought there were so many others!!!!

I’ve had whoopie pies once before at a fancy cafe. They reminded me of a lighter version of Hostess chocolate snack cakes — the kind with a squiggle on top. Yum!

I’m a dutch girl so whoopie pies are nowhere to be found here (nobody ever heard about them either). But I was so intrugued by the name that I made a few, and we *loved* them. Those few won’t be my last for sure :)

I’ve only eaten the store bought whoopie pies and moon pies. I’m going to try making these wonderful looking homemade ones now!
