I agree. I'm a big ratio guy with sandwiches and whatnot. It's never a popular opinion, but cake, and in this case, the pies, have too much frosting the same way lots of Italian sandwiches have too much meat. I don't want a block of ham and salami, I want a nice ratio of veggies, cheese, meat, etc. I joke all the time about opening an eatery called hoRATIO Sans(wiches). Like the comedian. ( a stretch I know)

Where does one obtain a Whoopie Pie made with cream cheese in the Portland area? I've never seen that (not a Mainer originally). I'm getting older, fatter and more stupider every day and maybe I should never have a cream cheese filled Whoopie Pie... But if I wanted to get one for a friend?....

My Dad tipped me off to Douins years ago when we would drive through often. It's my goto stop along route 2. The brownie whoopie pies are my absolute favorite. The chicken tenders are complete shit the last 2? years which sucks, because they used to be very good as well.

The accuracy, I used to live in the area and had a woman I was seeing at one point who had to temporarily live in a studio on 1st while her rental company finished her new place. Long story short, there were multiple times I had to physically stop junkies from breaking in at two or three in the morning, thinking we were the dealer who lived right upstairs. That whole section of the city is a cesspool.

This will sound disgusting, but I use a mix of cream cheese, fluff, and cool whip (same recipe as fluff fruit dip) instead of the traditional shortening/sugar mix. It tastes a bit like cheesecake.

My whoopie pies have raised hundreds of $$$ at local bake sale fundraiser auctions, so I know they're good.
