I'm making whoopie pies tonight

[Ismene]

I've not made them before, any tips? I have visions of ending up with very spread out hard biscuits rather than cakey sandwiches!

Make sure the filling is really stiff and thick or else they are a great cakey bite too muc.

and clear the decks, they take sodding acres of space.

Thanks Merryberry, will remember that for the filling!

Were they worth it? I'm a big cupcake fan and have thought about making some but they look fiddly.

What were they like Ismene? Apparently whoopie pies are the new cupcakes!

Yes, I'd like to hear how they turned out too as I'm a bit intrigued by them (but have tried them / seen them / let alone baked them).
