You know, up until about 2002 I didn't realize that whoopie pies were so very regional. See, that was when they were featured on Oprah's show, and my bad bad then-girlfriend was watching it and called me at work. Actually, she was at work, too, in the same building. See? Watching Oprah at work - she was bad. Bad.
Anyway, the article also mentions the Magnolia Bakery, which I guess was first featured in Sex and the City but the rest of us know from SNL's Lazy Sunday digital short. You know, the rap song about going to the The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe movie:
- But first my hunger pains are stickin’ like duct tape.
Let’s hit up Magnolia and mack on some cupcakes.
No doubt that bakery’s got all the bomb frosting.
I love those cupcakes like McAdams loves Gosling.
Mmm, after all of this talk I really could go for a whoopie pie.
