Whoopie pies!!


2011 is decidedly the year of revolution. First it was Tunisia, then Egypt, then Algeria and Lybia, and now the US. The Whoopie pie is taking over the well-established reign of the cupcake.
It appears to be a cross between the regular American cupcake and the French "macaron". The cake, or biscuit, is made of your usual suspects: flour, baking powder, 100% or 50% cocoa, coffee, egg, etc. The filling is made of "sucre de glaçage", vanilla extract, and butter. It's pretty fattening.
