Making Whoopie....... PIES

So last week I was super excited to have people to bake for again ( Yay for real friends) and I decided to show off a little at work, since people keep bringing in "home" baking ( I can tell it's box cake mix, and I will judge) so I made more biscotti and took in the left over whoopie pies from the weekend BBQ. Turns out people love cake in any form , and whoopies are extremely popular (Biscotti is hard to eat on the run, which at the cafe we always are) and according to my barista I make good whoopie!

And because I hate doing anything the easy way or on a small scale I actually made 3 flavours of Whoopie Pies, all using the same base recipe, divided into thirds then flavoured, baked and filled

To one third I added coaco and filled the pies with peanut butter frosting

 

 

To the next I added ginger and cinamon and filled with sweeten cream, a twist on the kiwi classic ginger kisses

 

 

The last of the mix I left plain, and filled the pies with Lemon Butter and Cream

 

 

 

 And Now that you've read all that, I'm gonna short change you and only provide one recipe (I will add the others at some point when I have more time so keep checking)
