FAQs
What exactly are Whoopie Pies?
Whoopie Pies, also known as Gobs or Big Fat Oreos, are not really pies at all. They are more like two little cakes, although more dense than cake, sandwiched with a marshmallow filling in the middle. Although traditionally a chocolate cake with filling, this treat has been adapted to many other flavors including the ever-popular Pumpkin.
Where did Whoopie Pies originate?
It has been greatly debated as to the exact origin of this delicious treat. Some believe they were first created in Maine, which also claims the whoopie pie as the state dessert. Others argue that the Amish women in Lancaster County, PA first made these snacks from leftover batter, and upon discovery of a whoopie pie in their lunchbox, the men and children would cry out "whoopie!"
