Birthday Whoopie Pie Recipe

These super delicious (seriously, I ate so many in the past day, someone take them away from me!) whoopie pies scream CELEBRATION! 

I mean do we really need a reason to celebrate cake tasting whoopie pies that are pretty pink in color, baked with rainbow sprinkles and then have more sprinkles on the yummy marshmallow creme?  Nope, we don’t need a reason.  So bake yourself some Vanilla Celebration Whoopie Pies!

Whoopie pies are one of my childhood favorites.  Whenever we made weekly trips to the Amish Market I would beg Mom and Dad to spoil me with a whoopie pie for the trip home.  These Whoopie Pies taste just like I remember as a kid, they pies are soft and taste like cake.  The cream inside is made up of powdered sugar, butter and marshmallow fluff so it’s rich tasting, sweet and very addicting (it’s my favorite part of a whoopie pie!). 

How to Make Whoopie Pies

I add in a touch of pink food coloring (the color I use is “Rose”) and stir around the dough.  Start off with a small drop of food coloring first and then add more if you want the color to be more vibrant.  To shape the pies I use a handy whoopie pie pan, but you could also just put the batter on a cookie sheet.  I really love this pan because the pies slip right out. 

After you make the marshmallow creme and lick the spoon clean, then add some to a pie, sandwich with the other side.

Enjoy these Birthday Whoopie Pies!
