Hey there pumpkin.

I love Fall for the flavors… I guess it’s not Fall anymore, but I’m still in a pumpkin-y mood. A few weeks ago my friend Megs had Fall Fest at work, and since she’s from PA, wanted to do some pumpkin whoopie pies! I jumped at the opportunity to try something new. I used Rachael Ray’s recipe– the faster the better!

These little guys were a bit spongy/dense/chewy for me. I’m no expert on whoopie pies but was under the impression that they’d be softer. Oh wells. I also re-made them yesterday during the wedding cake frenzy and decreased the amount of flour. Verdict? Still spongy. I’ll get used to it, I guess. The rest of the world has already bought into Rachael Ray, I might as well also.

Piping bags are by far the most useful tool in the world. Even though the recipe says to spread the cream cheese filling, I went with the piping bag. Clean, easy, and makes great swirl patterns!

Yum. 🙂 Oh yes, this is one of those random tid-bits (non-wedding-related) that I’m including.
