Whoopie pies are going the way of cupcakes.
The once-humble dessert sandwich is getting dolled up in exotic flavors like ginger with lemon curd filling, The Sun's Jill Rosen writes in today's Taste section.
That's one of the many varieties cooked up at a Security Square Mall bakery named B. Hall, Baker, which is selling them exclusively, and expensively, by mail order.
Writes Rosen: "If the nouveau flavors don't draw gasps from Amish baker women, the $28-per-dozen price tag likely will."
My question: What cocktail pairs best with whoopies?
I ran that by the highest imaginable authority: Pazo, which just started a cocktails-and-cupcakes special on Thursdays. Read the beverage manager's suggestion below.
He suggests pairing a whoopie pie with a chocolate mint martini or chocolate orange martini.
Rationale: You need something to amplify the cocoa in the whoopie pie, and then something to balance it out.
