Maybe you’ve heard this news already, but just in case you missed it: The Great State of Maine is considering making the Whoopie Pie its official state dessert.
It wasn’t already? There are lots of places to get a great wh0opie pie, including your very own kitchen. If you take this route, here are two excellent cookbooks to consult:
- Whoopie Pies By Sarah Billingsley, Amy Treadwell
- Making Whoopies by Nancy Griffin
Did you know that there’s a Maine Whoopie Pie Association? Me neither!(Although a Google search of this phrase got me zero hits). I read about it in a Portland Press Herald Article on 2/1/11.
Did you know that there’s a whoopie pie song? Me neither! It’s by John Linscott (see link to above article, right side of the page for the lyrics).
Want to buy your whoopies?
No decisions were made at the first meeting. They will reconvene on February 9th.
Here’s hoping the whoopies win!
