LUXURY PIES make perfect home-baked gifts and include chocolate-box pretty Rose and Violet Pies, refreshingly minty Grasshopper Pies, creamy Coconut Cloud Pies or grown-up Almond and Amaretto Pies, perfect for dessert with a cup of coffee. Ideal for any celebration, PARTY PIES offers plenty of inspiration. Try a Giant Whoopie Birthday Pie, a towering rainbow-hued Whoopie Pie Croquembouche or Oyster Pies, each one complete with its own sugar pearl.

I bought this book based on the beautiful pictures and the variety of recipes shown. I bake, my guy is the cook of the house who happens to be from Maine, so he is pretty familiar with the Whoopie Pie. He seemed unimpressed with the book, but he's a chef and doesn't use recipes. My first attempt at the basic whoopie pie started off strong. The cakes came out well but when I attempted the filling, I got nothing but a sticky gooey mess. It was way too loose to pipe onto anything so my guy had to bail me out and whipped up a tasty butter cream frosting which I used successfully. Undeterred I tried again this weekend. I thought the problem was that I had used marshmallow creme not "Fluff" so I made that change. Same result.
It seems that more effort went into making a beautiful book rather than testing the recipe. After wasting time and resources on two attempts at what should have been a pretty straightforward recipe, it makes me wonder if I need to invest any more time on any of the other recipes in the book. Too bad, because they all look pretty tasty. but I guess that credit is due to a talented food stylist.
I gave two stars because the cakes, with adjustment (lessened the salt), did come out rather well.

This book of recipes gives several new ideas for an old Maine recipe. They'll add some variety to the basic batter I've been making for years.
