Whoopie Pies

I grew up eating whoopie pies back before they were a national and international treat. I saw them in Hong Kong when we were there. My mom used to make them and wrap them individually, put them in the freezer and we were pack them in our lunches. I have thought about making them for some time and decided that Miss K's birthday celebration with her cousins would be the perfect time to make them. I do recommend waiting for a cool day when you want the oven on for hours to warm up the house and not on a hot day.

I know there are lots of recipes out there but I decided to use my mom's recipe, the one I grew up on.
