A simple combination of cake and cream, the whoopie pie is a family favorite of many – including my family. Wicked Whoopies in Freeport, Maine has turned this childhood sweet treat into a fun and lucrative business venture. Their website invites visitors to stop by one of their bakeries and visit, so when my sister and her husband were in Maine last fall – that’s just what they did! They were able to watch the whoopie pies being created – from mixing the cake batter, to creating the creamy filling, to the assembly of these delicious sweets! They were even able to sample some new flavor combinations – and of course they left with a case of whoopie pies to bring home to their kids! My sister’s favorite flavor was the chocolate and mint – which has a chocolate shell and a super light, fluffy mint filling. One dozen of these mint wonders is available for $24.
For those of you who like to experiment with flavors, Wicked Whoopies offers 15 combinations – including the classic chocolate with vanilla cream, chocolate chip, maple, pumpkin and banana cream. Try a variety pack if you can’t decide on one flavor!
