As American as they are, We never grew up eating whoopie pies. In our house, it was traditional cookies and maybe a cupcake or two thrown in for good measure. What IS a whoopie pie anyway? It’s a little bit cookie and a little bit cake with a layer of frosting on the inside. It’s a sandwich cookie of sorts, but the cookie is cakelike.
There are endless flavor possibilities with these pillowy treats and we thought, why not give them a try? See how some of our friends and clients like them?
We went for banana because we wanted a flavor that would stand out out its own and yet mix nicely with our dulce de leche cream cheese frosting layer. Success!
We’re thinking of offering a limited number of boxes of these, banana or other, depending on the interest. So tell us, is this something you’d like to see on the menu?

I think that’s a great idea to trial them here in France. It’s not common and fun mix of a macaroon here.
Thanks, Christina! We’re mulling it over =)
I *did* grow up eating whoopie pies. In fact, they are a Maine gas station specialty, so it is slightly weird for me to think about them being sold in Paris, and in a posh flavor such as banana/dulce… I’d say give it a try, but go for the classic. No one ever said no to the simplicity of a chocolate/vanilla combo
Fair enough
I assure you, the banana was GOOD. We’ll whip up a batch of a more classic flavor soon!
oh, don’t worry ! I have no doubts about their deliciousness, I’m just a purist. If you do need a taste test by an expert, I think I’d be up for the job
i have to admit i don’t know what whoopie pies are (i am german) and i bet many french don’t know either! so it really depends whom you are catering to…
Just wanted to see if there was curious interest
Nothing we make is anything less than awesome!!
DO IT!!!!! My daughter and I were lucky enough to be taste testers and they were heavenly. Tasted like a really moist banana cake (the flavor was wonderful) with a little sweet something special in the middle. I am a big whoopie pie eater and trust me, you nailed it!
Thank you thank you, Cat! We’re thrilled you BOTH enjoyed them! You’ll have to try a classic flavor if we make it
I grew up eating pumpkin whoopie pies with cream cheese filling and they were divine. I would love to be able to find that delicious taste of home here in Paris!
