Today is my back to baking day and all about whoopie pies. I didn't have these very frequently when I was a child . But I remember when I did have them it was usually a special occasion. I mean seriously you had this cake that was all yours-you didn't have to share with anyone. Whoopie pies are your own personal little celebration cakes. It doesn't mean that you can't share-it just feels deliciously naughty to take your own little cake , head to your secret hiding place and enjoy bite after sweet bite.
And these Red Velvet Whoopie pies are meant to be savored and enjoyed. I'm a fan of the red velvet cake so I was excited that this was one of the recipes for my Baked Sunday Mornings group. The cake is moist and has a beautiful light crumb and the icing-oh my goodness. It is one of the best cream cheese frostings I have ever made. These are sweet little cakes to make for your love on Valentine's Day-don't you think ? And PS if your mind works like mine you can think of other things to do with that incredible frosting for a really special surprise for your sweetie. See, even as a grown up Whoopie pies bring out the naughty in me.
I wish all of you much love for Valentine's Day and every day.

Love your photos and your whoopies look great! Sounds like you had a super week, we'll be interested to hear about what you experienced and learned.
Glad to see you're home safe and back in the kitchen! I was wonderful meeting you in Los Angeles - just wish we had more time to mingle and talk. What a fantastic workshop, but they make it look easier than it is. I guess it helps having such a beautiful, bright studio. Keep in touch.
How wonderful that you got to go to the Food Shout Out! I bet you learned so much. Your pies look lovely and so do your photos, Sandy!

Todd and Diane are joining forces and doing a workshop in Boulder CO this summer,trying like crazy to see if I can go check it out http://jenyu.net/foodandlight/index.html
Whoopie pies are the best. Of course, our friends at Starbucks is selling them, but wow, have you heard of a little place in Auburn? Inside of Crown Catering on East Main is this little hole in the wall that I have been having these from for 6 months. Chocolate, Banana Nut and Chocolate Chip. Better yet, the guy that makes them is now dipping them in chocolate. What a treat. Go get one
