Himself forwarded me an email. FW: Foliage Forecast Update, Apple Cider Doughnut Whoopie Pies & 85 Best Things to Do in New England. I thought it meant we would be going on an adventure some leaf peeping and then finding these amazing sounding Apple Cider Doughnut Whoopie Pies.
Turns out, Himself wasn't taking me out for Apple Cider Doughnut Whoopie Pies. He had forwarded me a link to a recipe and wanted me to bake Apple Cider Doughnut Whoopies. So I did. That's the kind of wife I am. Hey Kid, as I'm saying this my wrist is velcroed to my forehead. 🎃 The whoopie pies were a bit of work, but so goood!
Drop by hosts, Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog to find out what the rest of the T Stands For gang is up to. If you want to play, include in your Tuesday post a beverage or container for a beverage. Don't forget to link your blog to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's page.
Your pies look fabulous, although I have never heard of whoopie pies before, but they do sound delicious! Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThey were a popular dessert in the 50s and 60s. A marshmallow frosting sandwiched between two cake "cookies". The cake was traditionally chocolate.
DeleteThese look SO good, CJ. However, I would substitute the marshmallow fluff for cream cheese. Not a big fan of that fluff, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your adorable Whoopie Pies and tea with us, along with the recipe for the pies, for T this Tuesday. They sure look good!
Yeah, the filling combined with the sugar top was a little too sweet.
DeleteCJ, that whoopie pie looks wonderful!!! Wow - you are a good wife and a talented baker. Now time to go looking at leaves and find the whoopie pies made by others! We would love to see the pictures. Be sure and unvelcro your hand - of course - lol.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day!
Sadly, we waited too long for leaf peeping. A Nor'easter passing by today and tomorrow with lots of rain and wind will take a lot of the leaves down.
DeleteThe whoopie pie looks delicious. And I love your mug. You are being very festive. My husband would do the same thing. Oh an apple pie would taste good...hint...hint. I guess I am the same kind of wife. Have a great T day CJ, and hope you don't get too much rain or wind. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI could go for a slice of apple pie. Are you baking? 🎃
Deleteoh your whoopie pies look really delicious
ReplyDeleteThat was sweet of your husband too knowing you would make these for the both of you. treats at home are better I think even though they can take allot of work. Happy T wishes
We did enjoy them though next time I'll cut down on the sugar
Deletecute Halloween vignette! Ha- my hubby would do the same as yours telling me home made is the best:):) You're so thoughtful to make these special whoopie pies for him. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteYup, front row seat in heaven for me. 🎃
DeleteLooks delicious and that site has some great recipes. Stay warm and dry. Coming down in sheets here.
ReplyDeleteYup, inside day today making an engagement card
DeleteOhhh Mr. M. loves whooppie pies. Yours looks fantastic. Sorry about your wrist. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with my wrist. It's a joke. To say when you put your wrist to your forehead palm out, like Woe is me. 🎃
DeleteI've never heard of whoopie pies and yours look absolutely delicious. I looked at the recipe and I know that in America cider is a different thing to European cider. Am I right in thinking that cider is apple juice? What we call cider (the alcoholic variety) is called hard cider in the USA? I have both.
ReplyDeleteI like your Halloween mug. (I love orange)
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Cider is made from apples that are cut and ground into a mash. The cider isn't filtered and has bit of pulp still in it. Apple juice goes through a filtration process so it will last longer and has no pulp. Yes, alcoholic cider is called hard cider here.
DeleteOnce again I won't win the 'Wife of the Year' award. If Husband came to me with this 'hint' I would tell him he has two fully functioning arms so why isn't he making them for ME????? (BTW....'my wrist is velcroed to my forehead'.....please elaborate......)
ReplyDeleteTo say when you put your wrist to your forehead palm out, like Woe is me. 🎃
DeleteOh my, apple cider doughnut whoopie pies sound amazing! I bet they tatse so yummy 😁. I'm loving your mug too - Happy T Day! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteThey were good, but a little too sweet for me. I think next time, I'll skip the rolling the cake in the sugar part.
DeleteNo cider mill adventure must have been a thing this weekend. We drove up to our familiar cider mill intending to get cider and donuts, but the line was half way across the parking lot, so we didn't have cider. Our guests declined the offer to go to a store that stocks fresh local cider without the adventure. I've always thought of whoopie pies as regional, and not here in Michigan.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Whoopie pies are the official state dessert of the state of Maine, so known in New England.
Deletejust because I am a smart AZZ; if he whom I used to live with suggested this...I would have found a novelty store and bought a whoopie cushion and told him they expanded during cooking....
ReplyDeleteyou are a good spouse !!!! ;) ♥♥☺☺
I wish I had thought of that! 🎃
Deleteyou made them? Wow! I am impressed! Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteThey may appear in the baked once in a blue moon repertoire
DeleteLove that scene! Cute! umm.. scary, of course ;-)
ReplyDeleteIn a cute way 🎃
DeleteMy son used to make Whoopie pies - a bit sweet for me.Yours look and sound delicious. I am very late been having a few problems all OK now . Oh and finally I think I have. found a way to add a link here on my new computer! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteToo sweet for me, too. If I make them again, I’ll cut down the amount of sugar. Glad your problems have resolved
DeleteI love your black cat and the Halloween mug, never had a whoopie pie, it looks yummy though. Happy belated T Day Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteThat's my Ink o'lantern and it stays out all year long.
DeleteWhat a great mug!!!
ReplyDeleteI blame you with all your cute, seasonal mugs and I didn't have any Halloween mugs except the blue mug the Eldest left behind. So I bought some Halloween mugs! All your fault :-D
DeleteLooks like you did a great job CJ!
