Whoopie Pies

One of my all time favorite channels to watch is the Food Network! I have seen them make a dessert called Whoopie Pies on a couple of different shows. Whoopie Pies are a New England favorite and a Pennsylvania Amish tradition. That made me want to try one someday. Just before the holiday I was excited to see a mix at my local Target store.


When I made the first batch, the batter seemed too thin, so the pies came out flat like pancakes. I decided to add 1/4 cup of wheat flour and a dash of baking powder to make it rise better. The second batch turned out well as you can see above.
The winner of the 2011 Calendar is Laura. Congratulations!

Middle Colonies


My daughther had to create an edible representation of the middle colonies. We made cookie dough for the states which include: New York, Pennsylvania, Delware and New Jersey. It turned out very nice!
