I read somewhere that whoopie pies are the next cupcakes. So I had to try and make them right away! I found a recipe in Rose Levy Beranbaum's book and decided to trust her with it. This is the second recipe I made from her book.
First, I baked the little cakes and tried to peel them off the parchment paper. That didn't go so well (and I lost almost one third of the cakes in the process because they were so stuck to the paper). Then I made the buttercream and filled them. The cakes were really sticky and even stuck to a glass plate. Weird.
Well, I didn't really like this recipe. Maybe it's because I'm European and most of the cakes I eat here aren't that sweet, but I really hate the sweetness of buttercream. (I tried Rose's and Martha Stewart's and I like Martha's better though.) The batter was sweet too and not chocolate-y enough. We didn't know whether to eat it with our hands or with a fork, because they looked like sandwiches, but were really sticky! I hope all of Rose's recipes aren't like that because the two that I've made so far weren't as heavenly as the book suggests. Anyway, I think I'll stick to cupcakes in the future. Me and whoopie pies are over.
Taste: 2/5
Approximate cost of one pie: 0,45 €

I have never found a whoopie pie recipe yet that I have liked, but I am going to keep trying. There has to be one out there if everyone keeps talking about how glorious they are.
Whoopie pies are becoming all the rage, but they are really, really sweet. Cupcakes will always win!

whoopie pies usually are pretty sticky...i made them with a cake mixt the last time i tried and they were a better consistency. i have a total sweet tooth...love me some buttercream frosting:)
I've never made Whoopie pies, but I still would like to try them for myself. Yours sure LOOK great! I am kind of a sugar fiend, so I might like them:)
Yum! I have this book and it's so great. Definitely one of my favourite recipes from it.
I have Rose's Cake Bible and use it extensively--her recipes might seem complicated but I've always found the results to be very reliable. In fact, I just made her Chocolate Angel Food Cake this weekend and it was a big hit.
I LOVE whoopie pies. I make mine out of dark chocolate cocoa you can get at king arthur bakery. BTW, thanks for stopping by on my SITS day and making me feel special!

I've actually never tried a whoopie pie and it's interesting that they are the "next big thing". I'm still a cupcake fan :)
Have a great day!
