whoopie! - it's back to school



my summer came and went and now i'm back in school...though i was not SUPER excited about going back to work, now that i'm back into the swing of things, i realize i have a pretty awesome job!  each day is a new day and at least one student is sure to make your day :).

so in the spirit of back to school, i baked some whoopie pies for my coworkers...cheers to a "SWEET" year!

i followed bakerella's recipe:
http://www.bakerella.com/whoopie-pies/


mix wet ingredients

mix dry ingredients

mix wet + dry ingredients

scoop onto parchment paper

bake (i think i should have flattened them before i baked them...they were thick)

frost - vanilla

frost - cherry

frost - chocolate

assemble

stack


wrap - thank you joohee for the cute tags! :)
i decided to try making cupcakes out of the batter too.
mint chocolate


in the end, i decided need more practice.  my whoopies were more like whoopie balls than whoopie pies and i need to work on the moistness of the cake.  it was a fun learning experience though!
