I cooked under the name Butterhead, which do you think I prefer? Wrong! Cream cheese. My D also votes cc. And coffee in the cake batter. Maine WPs are better than Pennsylvania's. They use shortening mostly.

Raisin hater? I think you might just have terminally bad opinions. Please see a doctor before it gets worse.

Finally, someone else who hates whoopie pies! There is another!

Really, I just never saw the appeal of them. Tried them once. As my generation likes to say, they are mid.

woopie pies are the best if you use a different recipe for the frosting and for the cake, and don't make woopie pies at all.

Crisco and Fluff was the best base mix before Crisco changed in the mid 2000’s. Since then, it’s hard to make it taste the same vintage way from the past.

Edit: a word

Are they small or is the loaf of bread and pound of sandwich meat next to them just big?

Edit: /s

I’ve had this happen so much! I think some stores use a kind of plastic wrap that makes everything taste like plastic. I’ve gone to my local store and gotten whoopie pies that were baked the morning before, but they tasted exactly like the plastic wrap they were stored in. Same with muffins, croissants, literally anything they wrapped in that disgusting plastic wrap tasted bad.

Me and oatmeal are not friends... Lol it's almost ok, until you find the raisins then I'm done entirely

Their muffins are good too, also tiny

Call me crazy, but I see little difference between “homemade” and the ones you find next to the cash register at rural gas stations, or even Steve’s or some other Maine brand. It’s all just cake and frosting to me.

Oh I basically just make a cake sandwich with a little bit of a frosting I like whipped in the mixer. Maybe like a 1/4” schmear. How do you feel about oatmeal cream pies?

We use Nationwide, they have the best coverage (no exclusions, high caps for services, and fast payout - Ive always gotten payment in 1 week of claim submission) We have all our animals on wellness + emergency. The caps for things on the wellness plan are high enough to pay for 90% of the annual vet charge so annual shots, exams, fecal tests, hip xray for my shepherd and the emergency is 100% coverage after a small deductible, mine is $100 on a grandfathered plan and $200 on newer pets I added. Rates are lower compared to other plans with higher deductibles and co-insurance options too. My shepherd just had an ACL surgery and we only paid $100, if we didnt have insurance we would be in the hole for 12k after surgery and after care meds/visits. The plans pay for themselves with how high vet bills are nowadays.

I don't remember exactly what happened but there was a disagreement between the guy who had the recipe and the restaurant owner or something. My dad knew him and he only makes them for family now.

agree to disagree - my moms whoopie pie frosting is shortening, confectioners sugar, and vanilla extract. it’s a disgusting recipe, but it has to be that frosting for me.

The hint is fluff.

Shortening is just gross.

Also I bought a whoopie pie from the grocery store that looked amazing but it tasted strong like plastic bc it was wrapped tight in Saran Wrap for who knows how long. That was vile and put me off whoopie pies for quite a bit

The one at Big G’s are pretty good- small though

I've even had homemade "this person makes the BEST you'll ever find" kinds. The cake part tasted better, for sure, it's that middle though, kills the whole experience.

It's like getting a cake but with "traditional" frosting. Can't even finish the piece of cake because the frosting is too much.

Scooby and shaggy were stoners, I'm sure they could even do a better job at creating some awesome munchies 🤣

The great insurance grift continues.

Homemade are good. I’ve had good store bought whoopie pies before but in general I’m not really a baked sweets person so being able to make them at home and tone them way down is the best option. Those monstrosities that look like a scooby doo hamburger made of frosting are gross though.

Brownie whoopie pies from Douin's market in New Sharon. If you're going to get diabetes, make it worth it.

I wasn’t born here so I can talk all the shit I want about these alleged “pies”.

They ok.

The insurance offered through my mothers work (about $25/month) covers prescription food. So if her cat went in with an emergency urinary blockage (~$1.5k - $3k) it'd cover the bill, then pay the ~$1k a year or so in prescription food costs going forward. Minus a $250 deductible.
