Hello, my wonderful readers! Today, before we get into the yummy part of this post, I have a little bit of business to discuss. My book tour for The Scent of Cherry Blossoms starts February 21. Be sure to hop over to my “Appearances” page to look at the details and share them with your friends and family who live in the area.
You might be interested to hear that I am doing something new for this tour. If you have a book club in one of the areas that I’ll visit during my tour and would like to make arrangements for a visit from me while I’m in the area, please send an e-mail to cindy@cindywoodsmall.com with a subject line of “Book Club,” and someone will be in contact with you to see what can be done.
I would also like to announce the winner of last week’s blog. She’s won a one-year subscription to Cooking & Such: Adventures in Plain Living. The winner is Cheryl of WVa! Congratulations, Cheryl!
Okay, now for the yummy part! For today’s post, I would like to celebrate the upcoming Valentine’s Day. Let’s make a tasty treat together that those dearest to you will LOVE! 
Although there’s a little debate about this, most historians agree that whoopie pies were originally created in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They were made from leftover cake batter. Legend says that the husbands and children would be so excited upon seeing these treats in their lunch pails that they would yell out, “Whoopie!”
I don’t know if that’s true, but I do know that’s what I wanted to yell out one spring afternoon while staying with Old Order Amish friends. A young mom with two adorable children walked into the home where I was staying, and she had a batch of freshly baked whoopie pies. We put a pot of coffee on the stove and had a lovely time soaking in the beautiful weather, the laughter of children, and delicious whoopie pies.
So, with these pleasant memories in mind, I came across this picture of a whoopie pie and thought the pink frosting was really cute and very appropriate for Valentine’s Day. I hope that you will be able to savor a few moments of peaceful surroundings and good company like I did while enjoying these delicious desserts.
Whoopie Pie
Cakes
2 cups flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
Filling
½ cup softened butter
1½ cups confectioners’ sugar
1 cup marshmallow crème
1 teaspoon vanilla
Red food coloring
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl, mix the buttermilk and vanilla extract. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until evenly blended. Add the egg and blend until creamy.
Combine half of the flour mixture with the butter mixture. Mix in the buttermilk mixture. Add the rest of the flour mixture.
Scoop the batter into evenly sized mounds and place, evenly spaced, onto cookie sheets covered with parchment paper. Be sure to scoop an even number of mounds. Bake the sheets one at a time for ten minutes. The cakes should feel moist and soft. Let them cool on a rack before icing.
To make icing, beat all of the filling ingredients together, except the food coloring. Once ingredients are blended, add red food coloring until you reach your desired tint.
To complete the whoopie pies, spread icing evenly on the top of one cake and then gently press another on top. Continue until all of your cakes have been used!
I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful Valentine’s Day together! And if you’d like a chance to win an autographed copy of The Scent of Cherry Blossoms, please leave a comment below.

Ahh, the sweet taste of whoopie pies! During a visit to Lancaster County last Spring, my daughter and I sampled a few different types of whoopie pies. Red velvet was high on our list of favorites! I bought my daughter a whoopie pie pan and mix for Christmas so I will have to give her your recipe to try. Yum, yum! Can’t wait for your book to release! What I always say when I retreat to relax and read an Amish book, “Take me away to the Amish!”
May God continue to bless your ministry,
Liz

I love whoopie pies. We made them growing up. Takes me back to my childhood.
Last week I used an Amish chocolate chip cookie recipe and the cookies were delicious! I am definitely going to try the whoopie pies. I love the pink frosting! And I know my 7 year old granddaughter will love it, too, as pink is her favorite color!
I’ve been researching my family history and have discovered family that were Mennonites! Enjoying researching them and proud, too!
I hope you and your granddaughter have fun enjoying whoopie pies together!
I’m glad to hear you’ve been learning about your family and the Mennonites. It’s always fun to discover new and exciting things about your family.

What a beautiful book gift to start our season of spring. I can almost smell the sweet Scent of Cherry Blossoms just by looking at the cover of another one of your wonderful books. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Thank you. I really enjoyed reading your comment!
I may be the only person in the world who isn’t a fan of Whoopie Pies. My husband loves them though. I would love to win a copy of the book, but if I don’t win, I will either rent it from the library or buy it for a long trip.
That’s okay! We all have our own tastes, Susan. I’m happy you decided to join us at my blog and enter my giveaway despite your dislike for whoopie pies.
What a perfect Valentine gift this book would be! I would love to read it early!!
Hi Cindy, I love your books and just recently discovered your blog! I’ll definitely be trying the whoopie pies for my family’s valentine treat. I would love to win an autographed copy of your book
Blessings.
I’m so glad you found my blog, Kathy! I love having these “chats” with my reader friends.
I love your books.. My 3yr old boy keeps me to busy to read these days but I can’t wait to get the ones i haven’t read yet
Oh, yes, I remember those years! Our children certainly do keep us busy, don’t they?
I am in love with the characters in your books. I had a hard time leaving them behind in the Ada’s House series. I was just so wrapped up in all of their stories. I can’t wait to read more of your books. I hope to win one!!!
Thank for a wonderful comment, Lita! Your kind words mean a lot to me.
WHEN MY KIDS WERE STILL AT HOME WE HAD ALL KINDS OF THINGS FOR SUPERBOWL SUNDAY BUT SINCE IT’S JUST ME AND MY BASSET HOUND ~ I DON’T DO MUCH ~ MAYBE SOME CHIPS AND DIP OR A PIZZA BUT THAT’S ABOUT IT.
I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT I MADE THAT CARROT CAKE AND IT WAS JUST DELICIOUS ~ THANKS FOR SHARING THAT RECIPE WITH ALL OF US.
I GOT AN EMAIL FROM AMAZON.COM ABOUT YOUR BOOK ~ IF I DON’T WIN ONE THEN I’LL BUY ONE.
HAVE A GREAT DAY CINDY.
Thank you for sharing this with me, Mary Ann! I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Carrot Cake for the Superbowl!
I’m looking forward to The Scent of Cherry Blossoms and can’t wait to read it. Love everything you’ve written! The Whoopie Pies look delicious!
Thank you, Donna!
I have never had the pleasure of eating a whoopie pie. I am going to have to try your recipe. After reading your book the Christmas Singing which I received as a Christmas gift I can’t wait to read more of your books. I would love to win your book “The Scent of Cherry Blossoms”. : )
Thank you for your comment, Jeanne!
Hi Cindy,
I just finished the Ada’s House Series….loved it! The Whoopie pies look delectable but since I listen to your books on my iPod while I’m on the treadmill, I don’t think i’ll be indulging this year. The “calories burned” during a workout take way more effort (unfortunately) than eating a whoopee pie or two!! The Scent of Cherry Blossoms would be a wonderful read this spring….thanks for the chance to win!
My friend made whoopie pies for a big church event for women. I think these treats are yummy! I like the idea of dark chocolate with the pink cream filling!
I am so excited about your book, and I would love to win it! You are my favorite author…and I am not just saying that. I love your style reading! I wish you were in my area, it would be so fun to have you stop in for a visit for a book club!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Sarah. I got a big smile on my face when I read that I am your favorite author!
Enjoy reading your books – a nice way to relax and feel a close connection with living a quieter lifestyle as a child.
The whoopie pies look wonderful! wish my grandchildren lived closer, but they live closer to you than to me right now! blessings to you on your book tour. I love reading your posts.
Perhaps you can make some and bring them with you the next time you visit your grandchildren. Then you can stop by and share some with me.
Hi Cindy, I sure would love to have one of these last three autographed books. Sounds so good. And I loved your story of the Whoopie Pie! Good enough reason for the name to me! But, looks like the icing is on the bottom sides. And, what did you place between them? Wish I had all of your books.
Maxie Anderson
It is simply a napkin and a piece of white paper between the whoopie pies in the picture. But my Amish friends often wrap them individually in plastic wrap so that they can be easily packed and shared. It’s not as pretty, but it keeps them fresh.
These Whoopie pies look so good. Can’t wait to try. Would love to win the book. Thanks.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Susan.
Thanks for posting this recipe!!! I love to eat whoopie pies from Amish Country and now I can make my own!!!!
You’re welcome. I’m so glad you are looking forward to using the recipe.
Those woopie pies look so yummmmmy. I can wait to make them. I also would love to be entered in your book give away. I cant wait to read this book. Thank you for all you do for us.
God Bless you!
Sheli from CA…
Those look amazing. I can’t wait to make a batch. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I can’t wait to read The Scent of Cherry Blossoms. I just love your books I find myself waiting for the next book when I get through reading the newest one out.
Thank you, Heather. I’m so glad to hear you enjoy my books.
I have made whoopie pies in the past…and have read your books…hoping to win the new one. Hugs and God bless…Sandi
I am going to attempt my first batch or Whoopie Pies tomorrow in anticipation of making them for my son’s Gr 1 class for Valentine’s Day. Helped make and bake a cake yesterday that has been devoured in the house! We LOVED Whoppie Pies when we bought them in Bird-In-Hand, Pa!
I am also very eager to get a copy of this book of yours Cindy!
Thanks for the recipe and this opportunity to win!
Allyson
You’re welcome, and keep us posted, Allyson! And remind me to check my FB page as needed. I’ll know what you mean.
Thank you for posting the Whoopie Pie recipe! I am going to be copying this one down!!
Thank you for this giveaway. I would love to win a copy of, The Scent of Cherry Blossoms. I am a huge fan of your books and have read everyone of them!
Blessings to you!
Judy
Thank you for your comment, Judy! I really enjoyed reading it.
I love Whoopie Pies. I do not make them, but my 86 year old mother still does. Unfortunately she lives 600 miles away, so I don’t get them very often, which is probably a good thing otherwise I would be bigger than I already am. For this past Christmas, I gave her a cookbook on whoopie pies.
I’m so looking forward to The Scent of Cherry Blossoms. Thank you for the chance to win a copy.
Wow, Sandra, a whole cookbook on whoopie pies?! Nice. Through the years of raising three boys, and the youngest is a teen, I’ve aimed to keep snacks in the house for them that I don’t like. It hasn’t made me thin or even close, but I comfort myself with where I’d be if I kept snacks in the house that I do like!
I would love to win the book, “The Scent of Cherry Blossoms”. I enjoy reading books about the Amish and their way of life. I re-read the book The Sound of Sleigh Bells again this Christmas and loved it as much as I did the first time I read it. I also have one of your series “Sisters of the Quilt” and enjoyed reading it as well.
Have a great evening!
I think I will print the recipe for the Whoopie Pies to try on my grandchildren. I’m sure they will enjoy eating them!
That sounds wonderful, Cindy! I hope you and your grandchildren have fun enjoying the whoopie pies together.
The whoopie pies look delicious. I think I will try them for our valentine party next week. I think it would be great to have a book to read while eating one.
Cute, Faye. You made me break into a grin. I hope you have a really fun Valentine’s party.
Whoopie!!! Thanks SO much for this recipe. Every time we go out to the Lancaster area I have to indulge & get some Whoopie pies. Now I can have them anytime I need to have some.
P.S. LOVE your books & as always can’t wait for the next one to come out. Please keep on writing.
You’re very welcome, Bernice. And thank you for your kind words about my books!
Thanks for the “sweet” sounding Whoopie pie recipe…I’ll have to try them! God bless you in your writing…you really are a gifted writer and a blessing to all of us.
Gail, welcome to my Plain Talk blog! Thank you for your encouraging words, and I hope the recipe turns out delicious!
Thanks for your wonderful books — as well as the wonderful recipe that I am going to make this weekend!
You’re very welcome, Jill.
I guess I’ll have to make my sweetie some whoopie pies. He loves the ones at Starbucks, so this will be a real treat. I also pre-ordered Scent for my Kindle app.
Oh, Chris. I meant to e-mail you earlier today to let you know I received your postal address. The next shipping day is Friday. And I hope your home-made whoopie pies rival that of Starbucks. I didn’t realize they made them.
You are such a gifted writer when I pick up one of your books I can’t put it down.Keep them coming.
Thank you, Emma. I’m so glad your son likes his new cast and is feeling better. I know when we’re having rough days like your family is having, it feels as if I’m walking in a dark cloud, even on a bright, sunny day. But His strength will see you through. Trust in that while you’re in the cloud.
I would love to win a book!! Enjoy reading your books alot. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
You’re welcome, Amy! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
i love your books. Always looking for your latest book when they come out. Would love to win.
Thank you, Cindy–for your kind words and for coming to my blog to participate. Both are appreciated.
Cindy, I love your books, and this one looks like no exception. The cover has me wanting the book because is has such a feminine look, and reminders of spring coming. Thank you for offering this giveaway!
Thank you, Nancee! This cover is one of my favorites. I am so glad my readers seem to love it as much as I do!
Thanks for the “sweet” sounding Whoopie pie recipe…I’ll have to try them! God bless you in your writing…you really are a gifted writer and a blessing to all of us.
What a wonderful compliment, Gail. Your sweet words mean a great deal!
I have loved reading your books since I received one for a Christmas present. I hope to win a copy of your new book. Thanks for writing inspirational fiction! God bless you and your writing!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
These sound yummy! I am so looking forward to reading The Scent of Cherry Blossoms and hope to see you on tour, also! Blessings!
I would love to see you there, Cindi! I really look forward to my book signings, where I get to meet my wonderful reader friends.
I live in Northern Indiana where there is a large Amish community so I have access to real Amish Whoopie Pies. I like them but am more partial to their custard pies. Although it’s hard to beat any of their baked goods.
Mmm custard pie.
It must be wonderful to live close to such delicious treats!
It’s also nice that I can get homemade noodles without actually having to do the making.
I’d love to win A Scent of Cherry Blossoms.
Whoopie pies sound good.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Carolyn!
I soooo love whoopie pies…..I will be making these for sure….. I would love to win a copy of your new book!!!!Blessing up in cold country..(South Dakota)
I hope you enjoy the recipe!
I’ve never had a whoopie pie. Sounds yummy
Hi Cindy!! Would love a chance to win an autographed copy of The Scent of Cherry Blossoms. Thanks for the chance! I have read all of your books and can’t wait for the scent of Cherry Blossoms to be released. Thanks for the recipe.Happy Valentines Day.
You’re welcome, Emma. I’m excited for the release of The Scent of Cherry Blossoms, as well.

That is such a cute idea, Heidi! I love it!!
I would LOVE to win!!!!
Thanks for entering, Brenda.
I would love to win a copy of your new book!
Cindy, I will have to save this Whoopie pie recipe and try it. When my cousin and her husband comes from Virginia to visit us in Maryland, we take a day and go to Lancaster County, PA. My cousin’s husband loves the Whoopie pies and has to have one (well 3 or 4) to take home and eat.
Thank you for the recipe and a chance to win an autographed copy of your new book, I love your books! Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day.
Blessings, Tina
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful memory of your family, Tina.
Hi Cindy,
Can’t wait to make the whoopie cakes. They look really good. I love anything with chocolate cake. Just wish my family did. But I am planning on sharing with my neighbors.
Thanks again,
Julie
Julie, always such a pleasure to hear from you. Although, I think I said much the same thing last time.
But can you blame me; you’re planning on baking and sharing with neighbors! I knew we needed to live closer.
I love your books. I enjoy learning about the Amish and their faith. Trusting God and believing Him seems like it should be as automatic as taking a breath. Heading for a 2nd spinal surgery in six months. Something to read while recuperating and trusting God for healing … now that would be something to look forward to.
I hope your surgery goes well, Judi, and that your recovery is quick.
Had my first whopper pie the other day…chocolate. It was made by the supermarket and it was okay. Still would like an Amish made whopper pie though. Would love a chance to win you new book. Thank you for the opportunity.
Thank you for stopping by my blog, Karen!
I love reading your books. It takes me back to living back east close to the Amish. I miss that. I would so luv to win The Scent of Cherry Blossoms. Thanks for writing.
Thank you for your comment, Brenda. I enjoyed reading it!

Whoopie Pies – As kids I spent endless hours at tractor pulls that all the men in the family participated in. I could always look forward to my Aunt Beulah toting a Tupperware bowl full of Whoopie Pies! Chocolate or Oatmeal – yummy!!
Such a fun memory, Teresa!
Cindy, whoopie pies look delicous, wish I had one right now and also your book to read as I eat. thanks so much for offering your books to fans who love to read them.
I am anxious to read The Scent of Cherry Blossoms. we have a place in Macon Ga that has many Cherry blooming trees in the spring and I have always wanted to visit there as they say it is a beauitiful sight to see.
Paula O
Thank you, Paula. That sounds beautiful!
I wish you were coming to mn. I would love to meet you!!!!
Thanks for the neat info on the history of Whoopie Pies! I never would have guessed it to have Amish roots. That is so cool. I look forward to trying them. Also, I would love to be entered in the drawing to win a copy of your new book. I love reading the Christian Fiction Amish stories. What great love is shone and it reminds me of what a great God we serve. God bless you Cindy!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Sydni! I really loved what you said about the Christian Amish fiction: “What great love is shown and it reminds me of what a great God we serve.” Beautiful.

Thank you, Jennifer. I’m glad to hear you share my books!
Sounds like a good project to make the next time my nieces are over here! I wish I lived in the area(s) you are traveling to for the book tour, but I’m in Mississippi!
I’m sorry to hear that, Tanya. Maybe we’ll have another chance to meet in the future.
Hopefully so!

I love Whoopie Pies!! I have eaten way too many of these delicious little pies:) Can’t wait till I get your new book!!
I can relate to eating too many whoopie pies.
I can’t wait for the book to come out. I really love to read all the books about the Amish. They live such a simple life, that everyone wants to know more, at least I do. Thank you for an insight to their way of living. I’ve tried a few recipes and will be trying more. Thank you again. Michelle
Thank you for a wonderful comment, Michelle!

My favorite ways to eat a whoopie pie is straight from the freezer with a hot cup of coffee. Good stuff!
Oh, that sounds wonderful!
My hubby loves whoopie pies- we live in eastern Pennsylvania, so you can find them just about anywhere here. His favorites have a chocolate cake and peanut butter flavored filling. These look like a wonderful treat for Valentine’s day and I may just whip up a batch for him!

I’m looking forward to your new book! The title makes me yearn for Spring and all of its beauty. We’ve had a VERY unusually mild winter up here in the far north. (Guelph Ontario, Canada) Yesterday, I saw men wearing shorts outside! Crazy, eh? It’s only a matter of time before the flowers begin to pop and your new book will be just the thing to pleasantly pass the time till they do!
We’ve had some warm weather here in Georgia too. But I wouldn’t expect people to be able to wear shorts in Canada in February!
I was thinking of something else to make for Valentine’s day, but now that I’ve seen these Whoopie Pies, I just might change my mind. They look wonderful!
OH MY GOODNESS….I’ve been SO OUT OF THE LOOP the last week, I didn’t know I won!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Cherry Blossoms are one of my favorite things about spring. Lovely cover and title!

Kay, thank you so much!
Cindy,
Next time you tour, we would love to have you come a little farther north!
In the Harrisonburg, VA, area we have a large population of old order Mennonites. On Sunday mornings in the nearby small town of Dayton, those driving vehicles to church leave early to avoid the traffic congestion caused by the large number of buggies.
The Shenandoah Christian Writers are currently critiquing the delightful memoirs of an older lady who was raised in an Amish Mennonite Church. She attended Eastern Mennonite University, also in Harrisonburg. EMU includes the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding which attracts students from around the world. We have a rich and beautiful culture.
If you ever wish to visit, we will welcome you into the community!

PS I thank God for gifting you with the ability to write!
(You don’t need to post this as it is FYI.)
Hello Cindy! Nice to be on you blog page again this week. Over the weekend we started re-doing our kitchen and the more I think about it – the more I like the idea of hanging Amish items in there. I’ve done MANY cross stitch pics in the Amish them, have some souveniers from Holmes county that can go up and I think making Whoopie Pies in my re-done kitchen would be fantastic! Hope I’m a winner this week! Have a great one.
Joyce, your idea and crossing stitching scenes sound LOVELY! Have fun making that redone kitchen carry the wonderful aroma of freshly-made whoopie pies!
