Tonight, we have plans with a friend to eat pizza and play games. YEAH! It is our/my responsibility to bring the dessert and drinks. Instead of bringing the typical ice cream or store bought whatever, I looked up a recipe for whoopee pies. I've always wanted to try them.
The recipe I found was so simple:
1 box of cake mix
1/3 cup water
3 tbsp oil
2 eggs
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350. Cool and assemble.
I was supposed to drop the batter onto a cookie sheet with a teaspoon but I thought that was too small. Silly me, I used a serving spoon and the pies were HUGE!!!!!!!! There was no way I was going to serve those. SO...I used a cookie cutter to cut the pies into shapes after they cooled. Then, I added chocolate icing between whoopee layersg and they turned out so cute!
I showed my pies to Michael and...
I think he liked them. SUCCESS!!!
HOORAY!!! I love your idea to cut them in shapes AFTER they baked... I did it once before and it didn't go so well. Oh well, even good bakers have bad days.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a cute and successful idea but it wasted quite a bit of cake. I guess I should have made some cake balls with the left over scraps. Oopsy.
