Whoopie Pie with Strawberry Cream
February 6, 2015
Whoopie Pie with strawberry cream as the filling. These cookies are perfect for Valentine’s Day.
One, two, three times a charm. That scenario definitely applies to these whoopie pies. I baked the first batch a week ago and they rose to where they could pass as a cupcake. Into the trash they went. Second batch was mimicked just like the first except just a little less batter. Also forgot to mention that I was trying to make a HEART whoopie pie with the first two attempts. I even cheated by using a heart baking tin made especially for whoopie pies. I failed again.
Third time I ditched the pan and went straight for plain circular shapes. If this didn’t work out I was doomed. I can only take a failed recipe for so long and then it starts messing with my head.
Into the oven they went and bam it worked. So I’m here to tell you that you don’t need a fancy whoopie pie pan, just a good ole’ cookie sheet.
For the middle I stuck with a classic strawberry cream filling even though I was tempted to use raspberries, but I had already done a raspberry vanilla bean cupcake. These whoopie pies would be perfect for your co-workers, neighbors, family or a school Valentine’s party.
Just remember if something fails at least give it three tries.

I totally know all about the 3rd times the charm! It happens a lot. I am so glad they turned out for you. they look amazing!
Chocolate and strawberries are one of the flavor combinations. How fun to make it into whoopie pies!
You are so right about recipes beginning to mess with your head if they don’t come out right after the first few tries – it can totally drive me nuts! I love these cute little whoopie pies and they’d be perfect for Valentine’s Day, I also love that you didn’t use a fancy pan, yay for cookie sheets!

Looks like the determination paid off! These are adorable. Failed recipes are the worst, but I find when you nail it the treats seem that much tastier. Thanks for the cookies! 🙂
Your recipe calls for 6 strawberries. Strawberries are different sizes. Don’t know if small or large. Could you give in cups?
While researching road trips across the Northern Territory, I encountered a mention of a carefree drop simulation that promised quick fun. I tested free plinko and immediately appreciated the simplicity—no cost, no frills, just strategic timings. During dusty drives between Kakadu and Alice Springs, I found it to be the perfect mental breather. My brother, always skeptical, joined in and was surprised at how engaging a single drop could be. Now it’s our go-to when we need a playful pause on the road. 2/2
Hey everyone, I tried https://spinmama.gr after a friend in Greece recommended it. I wasn’t expecting much, but the slots had a good balance of small wins and features. At one point, I thought I was done for the night, but then a free spin round gave me enough to cash out with profit. It felt good to leave the game in the green instead of empty-handed.
My interest in sports platforms usually comes from the design side — how the developers organize content and display information efficiently. This Canadian project immediately stood out for its neat structure and calm aesthetics. The homepage displayed events in chronological order, with highlights and team stats that were easy to interpret. The mobile version was equally solid, with responsive menus and clear fonts. While testing upcoming event previews, I saw how much attention went into detail. It reminded me why people value features like Upcoming matches WinLion Canada — everything is laid out clearly, no clutter, no wasted clicks. The integration of visuals, text, and real-time data worked perfectly. I left the site impressed, not only with the content but with the overall digital craftsmanship. It’s a benchmark for modern sports platforms built with users in mind.
Seriously evaluating this Al Barsha serviced office because I need a highly professional base in Dubai without the years-long lease commitment typical of traditional setups, and this place looks incredibly promising. The photos suggest a modern, well-maintained environment, which is key when clients are frequently visiting for strategy sessions – you need an office that reflects your success, even if you are just starting out. I particularly appreciate that they cater to the full spectrum, from brand-new UAE registrants to established international firms; that diversity suggests a robust community and excellent administrative support infrastructure capable of handling varied requirements. The short-term lease option is a massive relief; it allows us to secure a prestigious address and fully functional workspace immediately while we finalize long-term expansion plans without feeling financially shackled to an unfavorable contract if our needs change rapidly. The Al Barsha https://sorp.ae/en/office-rent-dubai/ positioning is smart too; it offers great connectivity across the city without being trapped in the most expensive, congested commercial cores, making access easier for both our local team and visiting partners. It really feels like they’ve engineered a solution that perfectly matches the demands of today’s agile business environment, prioritizing functionality and adaptability.
