I made these yesterday and from what my friends say these were tasty. I found the recipe easy to make and all parts were delicious! I think I need to make my scoops of gingerbread dough smaller because my whoopie pies came out much larger than I expected ha ha ha but that is not a bad thing. I loved this twist on the average ginger cookie!
Breathtaking and refreshing! These pictures demonstrate wonderful artistic imagination and these pies ranks right up there with the best ones I have seen lately.

Delicious meals, and fresh produce. You made my mouth water with these images. I want to travel to different parts of the world to document cuisines from all sorts of cultures.
