On face value this book is a joy to look through - wonderfully original layout and makes you dribble at the endless combinations they suggest! It has been written very down-to-earth and homely so makes even better reading for those wanting a lovely baking day at home when its raining outside.
However the reason for 4 stars is that it is all American measurements and can take a while to convert in to UK weights (but not impossible because there are plenty of conversion tables available on the web) - beware about converting correctly though or the recipes won't work.
All in all I am very pleased I bought this book, as not only is everyone I know now obessesed with these treats, but the recipes are fantastic and some of the fillings are to die for!!

I bought this book a while ago and have just made my first batch. You definately need to take a few minutes to get the weights sorted from cups as trying to measure a cup of vegetable shortening is quite tricky!! I made them on a baking sheet using a tablespoon of batter as it tells you to but I recommend either using a heavy loaded teaspoon or get the whoopie baking tray that is available as they came out a bit larger than they should!!
I made the vanilla cakes with the tradition 'fluff' cream. Do not attempt to make this cream unless you have a food mixer as a hand held electric whisk can't cope with the heaviness of the mixture. Also don't go on what the cream taste's like from the bowl (I did and thought it didn't have much flavour) you need to taste it with the cakes!!
All in all a great book and I'm looking to try out more flavours!!

Excellent book, easy to understand recipies. great photography and advice. I would have liked to have had more variations on the combinations but I assume that this is down to the imagination of the reader; great book for the whoopie pies, as they have only been seen in British shops for the last six months.

i really love this book and have made 3 of the whoopie pies in it...the only reason i give it a 4 star rather than a five is that im in the uk and this is all in us cups.....i do have a set of cups but i find them a pain !!!! also it does call for marshmallow fluff which we can get over in in the uk but only from specialist stores such as selfridges and its really expensive ...althou apparently there is a recipe on the sainsburys web site !
over all simple instructions and delicious whoopies !!!

This is a great book I ordered in order to bake with my granddaughter fun cakes - it is really interesting giving a short history of where they come from (I never normally read the introduction to books) and they are easy to make - if a little hard to try and understand how to replace 'shortening' in the recipes. Definitely a good addition to my cook books for a change on the normal cakes.

This book is funny written with nice drawings. Not the best recipe book I own, but the stories and humor make up for it.

I agree with the above review - this is a very lovely book, well written and the instructions are very clear. I also agree with the conversion problem - which, as the previous reviewer stated, can be overcome with some homework. However, sourcing some of the ingredients has proven to be quite tricky and expensive!!

Having an obsession with baking books especially those of the cake variety I eagerly awaited this book. It was delivered very quickly and in excellent condition. I was extremely pleased with the speedy service of the book provider and am looking forward to many hours of Whoopie baking.
