Went out for a family coffee date to the Dome last night. 

Delicious coffees, warm scones with jam + cream, and Sophie got to try her first babycino!

Whoopie!!

pies... :)

Did you know that according to food historians, Amish women would bake these desserts (known as huckle bucks, or creamy turtles at the time) and put them in farmers' lunch boxes. When farmers would find the treats in their lunch, they would shout "Whoopie!" Cute huh.

Tried a recipe like this:

with a few minor adjustments.
It was fun to make, although the first batch didnt really rise like in the picture, so i put them in muffin trays for nice high 'pies.'
I also made a white chocolate ganache with strawberrys for in the middle.
So delicious!!
I also made some chocolate whoopie pies with choc mint ganache filling. so yum!!
