You can get this book directly from the publisher, Chronicle Books or from by clicking here from Amazon, Whoopie Pies (Cookery). So Dad can have his basic chocolate on chocolate on chocolate, my daughter can have something with a bit of spice and my son can have lots of fresh fruit.

Since there is so much mix and match possible in here, I can tailor them to individual tastes simply by changing the filling, seasoning a filling or adding favorite fruits. I think my family will be perfectly happy with stacks of whoopie pies instead of cakes for their birthdays. There are buttercreams, cream cheese, ganache in many flavors and styles, there is a maple-bacon filling even for people who love sweet/salty combinations.ĭefinitely a book I'll use often. The fillings start with the traditional marshmallow fluff then the sky is the limit.

There are several cake recipes, starting with the traditional chocolate and then going into many others including some vegan and gluten free cakes and non-traditional flavors such as pistachio-cardamom which bring these sweet treats up from being a guilty pleasure to something you could serve at dinner parties. It's also a great book for your own collection. In the introduction they talk about some of the history of the whoopie pie and offer a few pages of combination suggestions like a Death By Chocolate which has chocolate cakes, filling, glaze and is decorated with more chocolate or more exotically, Whoopie Satay which combines peanut butter and chocolate flavors with a bit of curry. If you've never had one, the basic whoopie pie is a sandwich made of soft moist cake like cookies and a marshmallow fluff filling. Whoopie pies are becoming increasingly trendy. The photos are fantastic and the art is just darling, which make it a very nice gift for friends who bake. Whoopie Pies by Sarah Billingsley and Amy Treadwell is just a wonderful collection of recipes of the cake and filling combinations.

Need to try it at some point and see how it turns out. While I was thinking of ways to do the filling, I realized for kiddie pies, you could use unsweetened drink mix for flavor and color. I'm planning on a chocolate coffee cake with an orange filling. This year I'm going to make him sugar free whoopie pies. My favorite uncle can't have sugar, and so every year for my b-day I come up with a recipe for him. The book inspires me to crochet frog closures for shawls and such, so I'm working on a frog now to use in another project and see how I like it. The images are probably much better in the paper version, but it's out of print and costs 75 dollars, the Kindle version is only 9.99. This is one I really recommend the Kindle version. I really liked it but it took a long time for me to get all the way through it because I read it in fits and starts. I reviewed 50 Heirloom Buttons to Make: A gallery of decorative fabric, needle-lace, crochet, and ribbon and braid closures you can create, my review was probably the last one posted if you want to take a look.
