My first whoopie pie

I watch a lot of cooking shows and most of those are competitions. Masterchef, Top Chef, The Next Iron Chef. You get my drift. I'd say most of those dishes I've heard of or tried but whenever there is a dessert challenge in the US, there is inevitably a whoopie pie.

According to Wikipedia, "the whoopie pie is an American baked good that may be considered either a cookie, pie, or cake. It is made of two round mound-shaped pieces of chocolate cake, or sometimes pumpkin or gingerbread cake, with a sweet, creamy filling or frosting sandwiched between them."

When I saw a vegan version in Whole Foods, I decided to try one.

It's definitely a firm cookie shaped cake with a thick layer of white icing in the middle. It's not too sticky and though it was a touch on the sweet side. I did eat it all (which I don't usually do with super sweet desserts) but I don't think I'll have another. Not because it didn't taste good. It's just not my kind of dessert.

Now if you gave me pumpkin pie...
