About the book

Synopsis

Dark chocolate with salted caramel.
Raspberry and nectarine with vanilla bean.
Red velvet with buttercream

Welcome to the irresistible world of the whoopie pie.

Whoopie pies are two discs of sponge cake sandwiching a thick buttercream filling. Like cupcakes, they come from America, where they were originally baked by the Amish community. These melt-in-the-mouth treats are a suprise hit in Britain, where they are outselling cupcakes, donuts and macaroons.

With over 60 mouthwatering recipes this is a Whoopie-baker's bible. It has treats for every occasion including seasonal flavours like Easter rhubarb with vanilla custard, indulgent treats like pumpkin with cream cheese, and cute party snacks like mocha-orange with espresso whipped cream. There are even alternative cake-cookie recipes such as oreo cookies and easy macaroons.

Find out what all the fuss is about with The Whoopie Pie Book.
