Honey Pie: the Desserts of Vegan Honey
Wednesday, September 12, 2007 
For some reason, the phrase "Whoopie Pie" really, truly bothers us. Not the dessert, mind you; just the name. Cakespy notes that a different name might make them less mortifying to order, out loud, in a bakery. Just to throw out a few ideas: frosting sandwiches, happycakes, sweetburgers, cakewiches, cream cuties, twin quasars of pleasure.
Nonetheless, the photo and description were so alluring on Vegan Honey's Peter Pumpkin Whoopie Pies that we had to give them a try. Now, there were risks involved--even name aside, these were also vegan (and with our non-vegan tasting crew, we weren't sure how they'd go over). After arriving yesterday via express mail from Brooklyn, the pies were a bit soft from their long trip to Seattle, but were revived by a brief stint in the freezer. And the verdict? We were converts after the first bite. Creamy, sweet (but not cloying) and expertly spiced, these confections are nearly perfect, and the word "vegan" never even entered our mind--in fact, one of our unknowing testers never even noticed! Ideal with warm soy milk or tea, these are a wonderful, cakey autumn treat. Although we haven't sampled anything else, we're feeling very good about Vegan Honey; we're especially intrigued by the brand-new "Faux-stess" Hostess inspired vegan treats.
Cakespy note: One more reason to feel good: a percentage of Vegan Honey's sales go toward animal advocacy, environmental and social justice organizations!

Too funny..they were just talking about Whoopie pies on the Martha Stewart show today. I had never heard of them before..was hoping to find a recipe or something. Unfortunately..I can't do the vegan thing.
If anyone can help me find a recipe for the whoopie pies that were on Martha's show from http://www.cranberryislandkitchen" REL="nofollow"> Cranberry Island Kitchen I would truly appreciate it.
Everyone does the Vegan thing. Just not as often as they should. Unless of course you're allergic to not developing dairy related disease.
