DESSERT FOR TEENAGERS

HALLOWEEN WHOOPIE PIES:  Back to my very fist post on this blog!  I made these again but decided to go for orange filling just for fun at this time of year.  Was not too happy with the shade or orange, had yellow and red food colour, thinking that would be all I would need, oh well, they got the idea!

Last time I did these I delivered them to a friend who was going through a tough time with her health and I did not eat one.  This time I tried a bite and thought they were just ok!  Joseph said the filling was not sweet enough, I thought the cake part could have been richer, denser and moister........ will work on this .......

Whoopie pies today.
Saw the recipe in last Wednesday's NY Times Dining In/Out, my favourite journey into work every week. So these caught my fancy and I made them, wanted to take something to the Tavernas and Joseph is having his tennis buddies over tomorrow afternoon.

Enjoyed making these, little complaint on the filling part, never got the eggs and sugar to reach 180 degrees. It was not that clear, I carried on whisking once the sugar had melted and maybe I shouldn't have. Anyway, I gave up at around 160 degrees and they seem ok. Joseph says delicious, and they do look good, see for yourself. One more note, I cut them in half, just seemed obscenely huge:
