So… what’s the big WHOOP!?
As wedding season is upon us, the girls of EVOKE sometimes turn to the sweet treats to help get us through our particularly “challenging” days. Sometimes it’s the oh, so, popular cupcake prepared 937 ways, or perhaps a “man cookie” from Leslie Poyourow at Fancy Cakes… Afterall, I can’t think of much that two gargantuan chocolate chip cookies held together by rich chocolately ganache can’t fix!? BUT! I have a feeling there is a new dessert in town ready to fix bad days, good days, birthdays, holidays and any other day that ends in “y”.
The Whoopie Pie. I know… it’s not really a new dessert at all, but I think it is about to hit the event market with a big bang! I personally enjoy the traditional Amish version: classic chocolate cakes with it’s little pillow of marshmallow cream filling oozing from the sides. But, here at EVOKE we like to think outside of the box. Take something you know and love and take it to the next level, make it exciting and special! How about a “Make Your Own Whoopie Pie” Bar. Choose your cakes, choose your fillings and off you go! Add some sprinkles, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, chopped nuts and kosher salt for an extra added flare! Or maybe you introduce this typically sweet treat during your cocktail hour with a savory version instead… I can’t think of any man that wouldn’t love a Jalapeno Cornbread Whoopie Pie with Bacon and Chive Goat Cheese filling.
Whatever you choose to put you in a happy place, whether it’s sweet or savory or a little of both, I hope you enjoy playing with your food as much as we do. Try some of our favorite combinations!
