That's exactly what I was thinking after eating some savory pizza at Grimaldi's in the Limelight Marketplace yesterday: I kinda wanna have a cookie…
The Sweet Room at The Limelight Marketplace is comprised of a few "sweets" shops including Mari's New York, Baci Gelato, MissTea, Butterfly Bakeshop, and of course, Wannahavacookie. These are not actually cookies, mind you, they are whoopie pies. How retro. I love whoopie pies when they're made right; these weren't the BEST I've had, but they do certain flavors better than others. I got 3 for $9: the double vanilla, red velvet, and chocolate peanut butter. Here's the breakdown..
Double Vanilla: too sweet. The cake was very sweet and so was the frosting in between. My dad tested it and loved it, but he has a serious sweet tooth so it would have to be covered in rubbing alcohol for him to not like it. The cake consistency was also a little hard, but the guy who sold them warned me that this batch looked a little "overdone". Kudos to him for knowing a good/bad batch when he sees it..
Red Velvet: winner, hands down. The cake was not dry nor overly sweet, so the sweet frosting was a welcome addition as opposed to pure overload. Taste the Red Velvet victory!
Chocolate Peanut Butter: I liked the filling, but the cake part had a little bit of a Devil Dog consistency. Some of you might love Devil Dogs, thus being ok with such a texture, but I am more of a Yodels fan. Devil Dogs get stuck to my teeth and the roof of my mouth and this whoopie pie had the same effect. I eventually HAD TO start licking the filling out of the middle. Had to.
Moral of the story? When in doubt, always go with Red Velvet.
Nothing better than Yahoo finding me a good site related to what I was looking for. SO NICE!!!
this is a nice day
