I'm a Whoopie addict. I manage to let myself make them only, like, every two years, but the NYTimes just did a story on them-- (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/18/din...) -- which made me realize I'm not alone in my guilty pleasure. Has anybody seen any Whoopies in a San Diego bakery or restaurant?

If you can't find them locally, I can recommend this place. www.wickedwhoopies.com
Worth the shipping.

I do not know if she carries them, but Elizabethan Desserts in Encinitas may have them

Thanks for the suggestions, cstr and Enorah. I 'll call Elizabethan. I"ve mailordered from two places including Wicked Whoopies-- but not as good as my homemade.

I didn't mean to be snarky, cstr. It's just that if I have to order and then pay shipping, something ought to be purty durn awesome. I also ordered from West Coast Whoopies. They arrived so smooshed that the order was repeated and doubled for free. But still didn't win me over. . . I've been making Whoopies for 25 years now and I just want someone to do it for me!

The article said that both Whole Foods and Traders should carry them. I did not see them in Whole Foods, so I went to Traders with the NYT, and after careful reading, I think it is only the NYC stores that actually stock the item. I would love to try one though.

I just saw that the NYT article gave a Whoopie recipe, which I missed the first time around. Maybe I'll try that. (I normally use the Maida Heatter recipe.) But I'm gladly patronize a bakery and let them do the work!

Just sighted Whoopies at Trader Joe's AND Ralph's and did a dance of joy. I bought the TJ ones. They're passable. Give the general idea. Right feel and the filling is better than what I got in West Coast and Wicked. (Just lacking any chocolate taste and a little gummy-- which the mail order ones were too.) So now if they're in the commercial zone, why oh why are SD bakeries and cupcakers not on the Whoopie bandwagon yet?

make the nytimes recipe. then you'll wonder how long it will take whoopies to make it to SD. I think it took cupcakes about 10 years to hit the bakeries here.
