ewein2412WE HAVE WHOOPIE PIES.
the secret REALLY IS in the branding. Kate gave me a recipe book for my birthday called, you guessed it, Whoopie Pies by Sarah Billingsley and Amy Treadwell (one from Pennsylvania and one from New England, just to put the origins argument to rest).
(My next door neighbor nearly bought me the exact same book.)
They may be the "new trend" in Edinburgh, where they pretty them up with sprinkles, but no bakery in the UK is going to make a genuine whoopie pie without Marshmallow Fluff and Crisco.
Americans in the UK take note: You can get Crisco on teh Internets. Hallelujah!
