Making Whoopies! The Official Whoopie Pie Book

Camden, Maine (Vocus) -- Whoopie pies could be declared the official Maine dessert. Many people assert that the round chocolate confection originated there, although Pennsylvania actually has an equally strong claim to that honor. No matter—aficionados in both locales never tire of the giant sandwich-style sweets, and these comfort food treats are enjoying a renaissance as bakeries across the country and online offer gourmet versions. This fun and funky book, Making Whoopies! (www.makingwhoopies.net), is a wide-ranging, lighthearted look at whoopie pies and the folks who love them.

This book tells everything you want to know about the whoopie pie and includes 16 tried-and-true recipes that will make your mouth water. It could inspire a baking spree that your friends and family will reap the benefits of.
