Freezing Amy's Wicked Whoopie Pies

Whoopie pies - a classic Amish and Maine tradition that brings back childhood memories of fun and delicious treats. For 16 years, Amy Bouchard has been perfecting the art of whoopie pie making at her company, Wicked Whoopies. In this interview, we get to know more about Amy's passion for baking, her favorite ingredients, and what sets her pies apart from others.

Amy credits an ice cream scoop as one of her most essential baking utensils, which helped her build her business. She loves experimenting with different types of chocolate in her cakes, cookies, and whoopie pies, often blending varieties to create unique flavors. When asked about her favorite ingredient, Amy's response was simple - CHOCOLATE.

Growing up, Amy enjoyed eating whoopie pies as a child, and today she creates a fun food that brings back those memories for others. Her classic whoopie pie recipe is still a fan favorite, but Amy doesn't stop there. She likes to think outside the box and try new flavors like peanut butter, chocolate chip, lemon, maple, and banana cream.

What sets Wicked Whoopies apart from other bakeries? Amy's creativity and willingness to experiment are just two factors that contribute to her unique pies. With a team of dedicated bakers, she can produce around 780 whoopie pies in the same amount of time it takes most bakeries to make about half that number.

Wicked Whoopies is an Amish as well as Maine tradition, and Amy will be showcasing her signature whoopie pie at the Maine Lobster Chef of the Year Competition. She'll also be exhibiting at Saturday's Marketplace, where attendees can sample some of her delicious creations. As a special treat, Amy is sharing her recipe for Mocha Whoopies with us.

In addition to her baking endeavors, Wicked Whoopies will be participating in the 3rd Annual Harvest on the Harbor event in Portland, Maine from October 21-23, 2010. This three-day festival promises to be an exciting celebration of food, music, and fun, and Amy's team will be there to share their whoopie pies with attendees.

Whether you're a long-time fan of whoopie pies or just discovering this delicious treat, Wicked Whoopies is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. With its commitment to using only the finest ingredients and creative flavor combinations, it's no wonder Amy's bakery has become a beloved institution in Maine and beyond.
