The chocolate cake is moist and flavorful embracing marshmallow buttercream.
Not at Two Fat Cats where the whoopie pies rise above the level of goofy snack to divine confection. At their worst they are dry excuses for chocolate enclosing polysorbate 80-laden fake cream.
Anyway, whoopie pies - two mounds of chocolate cake with a sweet, creamy filling - are everywhere in Maine from the grubbiest convenience store to.well, an upscale bakery. Y'all may not know but the whoopie pie is the official snack of Maine so deemed by the state legislature and not to be confused with the official dessert, which is blueberry pie. One of the foodie channel's celeb chefs - the uninspiring Chuck who cooks on his day off - put in a plug for the whoopie pies at Two Fat Cats on an episode of 'The Best Thing I Ever Ate.' So my partner and I decided to check it out the other day while we were in Portland.
