Strawberry Whoopie Pies

I made whoopie pies for my bachelorette weekend festivities. Mini whoopie pies to be exact. As cute as they were, I'm guessing I used a short-cut recipe. (I started with the short-cut recipe because all of the others I was finding called for shortening. I'm guessing this might be the key ingredient however and will have to break down and use it next time!) I'm not totally satisfied with the recipe and result so I'm not posting the link to the recipe just yet. The filling was great but I am not sure that the cake layers had the right texture.


Here's a picture of the end result strawberry whoopie pie with vanilla marshmallow creme...




Hopefully the next attempt will be made with a recipe straight from this adorable cookbook and look a bit more like the cover picture:
