Whoopie Pies – Maine’s ‘cupcake’

Whoopie pies …. a Maine tradition. Being from the Midwest and steeped in the cupcake world I can’t help but think of the whoopie pie as Maine’s version of the cupcake…comfort food!  More like a cake than a pie or a cookie, two generous size cakes sandwiching fluffy white filling.  And in Fall not only the traditional chocolate cake but pumpkin too.  Visit Bread & Roses Bakery (246 Main Street) in Ogunquit Maine for a taste of the whoopie pie.  Stock up and head right oustside and pull up a chair at one of the cafe tables for some well-deserved people watching.  Ready for a lobster roll?
