Shady Maple Whoopie Pies (Philadelphia)

**NOTE: I’m on vacation from August 5th to the 16th to Toronto, Chicago, and San Francisco. I will still try to put up some recipes but I might not be able to bake while I’m gone. I’ll be making posts about the different bakeries I visit though!**

A couple friends and I went out to East Earl, PA to a place called Shady Maple. It is a big buffet, a farm market, and has a banquet hall. We drove through suburban Pennsylvania and through the countryside. It’s out by Lancaster.

It was $20 to get in the buffet and barely anything was vegetarian so I decided to just skip eating and go in free. However, they had a little stand with baked goods and I have heard good things about their whoopie pies.

They are a good price and are pretty big. They are super soft and moist with a creamy center. They have a perfect frosting to pie ratio. I picked up a couple more to bring back to the city.


We walked over to the “Farm Market” afterward. It was a disappointment, I guess I was expecting an actual farmer’s market but it was just a normal grocery store. They had some pretty nice cakes on display though.

I can’t say anything for the taste since I didn’t buy one, but they were beautiful.
