Born in the heart of Lancaster County, the whoopie pie carries the warmth of Pennsylvania Dutch kitchens, where frugality met sweetness and stories rose with the scent of cocoa.
Amish women once spooned leftover cake batter onto baking sheets, sandwiched it with creamy filling, and tucked the treats into lunch pails. When farmers found them, they’d shout, “Whoopie!” and a legend was born.
While Maine and Massachusetts still claim their slice of the story, Lancaster remains the soul of it, a place where the humble pie became heritage. There’s even a local Whoopie Pie Festival celebrating the hundreds of ways this little cake has evolved.
