Makin' some Whoopie :)

I made my first whoopie pies the other day, and they were such a huge hit with my friends and family, I thought I'd give it another shot! Today I made 4 different kinds of WHOOPIES--Chocolate vanilla cream, Chocolate peanut butter cream, Banana vanilla cream, and Banana peanut butter cream.

I am going to PA tomorrow to visit one of my bestest friends from college, so I thought I'd bring her some treats :) I also had an order for some whoopies, so I got to kill two birds with one stone!

The recipes for these whoopie pies can be found under my Sweet Treats page!

Recipe of the day--Classic Whoopie Pies!

I have never made a whoopie pie before so I thought I'd give it a shot today! They are incredibly easy to make! I started off the day planning on making a chocolate peanut butter whoopie pie, but my little cousin came down to help me and hates peanut butter so I changed it to a vanilla fluff filling. From start to finish it took about 45 minutes to make 2 dozen, which is not too bad at all!

Chocolate Cookie:

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tb. butter (soft)
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup Light brown sugar
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract



Set the oven to 375 degrees--add flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
Paddle the butter and shortening together in a mixer, once it is light and fluffy add both sugars, then slowly add the egg. Once the egg is fully combined alternate adding the dry mixture with the milk and the vanilla extract.

I used a small scoop to scoop quarter sized rounds onto a parchment covered sheet pan. I placed them about 2 inches apart from one another because the rounds double in size when baking. I placed the sheet pans in the over for approx. 10 minutes, I took them out when they were soft but bounced back when you touch the tops.

My cousin Julia is in the picture below, she was a great help!


Vanilla Filling:

1 cup butter (soft)
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 jar of marshmallow fluff
2 tsp vanilla extract

I paddled the butter and sugar together in the mixer, then add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract and beat on high for 2-3 minutes.

I paired up the same sized cookies and I put one little scoop on 1 of the pairs, spread it out and put them together like a sandwich. Now they are ready to eat!!

An October Wedding full of Cupcakes!

A week ago I did cupcakes for a wedding in Georgetown, DC for 200 people. The bride chose 4 different cupcakes which were Lemon with Swiss Meringue, Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Icing, Chocolate with Chocolate Fudge Icing, and Vanilla Bean with Chocolate Fudge Icing. It took me 3 days to do them out of my kitchen, baking off batches of 50 at a time. Then many batches of lots of Icing!

DC's Best Cupcakes

DC is just as food savvy as NYC these days, and the cupcake trend is in full speed down here. With Georgetown Cupcakes and Hello Cupcake down here, they have been the most popular around. But the best cupcake place is a small hole in the wall bakery/ coffee shop in Georgetown--Baked and Wired which is located 1052 Thomas Jefferson Street NW
Washington, DC 20007 between 30th and 31st Streets

They have a huge variety of cupcakes, cookies, brownies, scones and slices of pie. I love their Elvis Impersonator AKA The Unporked Elvis cupcake which is a Banana cupcake topped with peanut butter frosting and drizzled with chocolate. It is scrumptious!
For Halloween and the Sanity Rally they made adorable funny cookies this past weekend!





Georgetown Cupcake also has tasty cupcakes. The shop in Georgetown is ALWAYS over crowded with long lines all the way down the block, but their store in Bethesda can sometimes be a little less crowded, I've had better luck getting in their quicker than the one in Georgetown.

My all time favorite cupcakes of theirs are the Caramel Apple Cupcake with maple frosting and the Pumpkin cupcake with maple frosting. The maple frosting is delicious and it melts in your mouth!!

My Favorite Cupcakes in NYC:)

Since I've lived in NYC I have loved cupcakes. I know they are a fad that could die out, but so far there is no end in sight of the cupcake craze! My favorite cupcakes in NYC are found at CRUMBS

I love two of their cupcakes and thought they were the best in the city
The Grasshopper which is chocolate cake with a mint frosting



Oreo cupcake with chocolate oreo cake and a creamy vanilla oreo frosting, this one melts in your mouth!



Alices Tea Cup was another cafe/bakery that I loved going to! The walls are painted with whimsical scenes from Alice and Wonderland, they used antique missed matched china for their plates and for their tea pots and tea cups. It is the perfect place to go for brunch or afternoon tea! I loved their red velvet cupcake, their other ones are yummy too, but the red velvet is by far their best one!
