Wicked Beginnings

Make a living baking whoopie pies?! It sounds crazy now, because no one else has done such a thing. But at the time, over twenty one years ago, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.  Yet with two young kids, I certainly needed to earn an income. I loved to bake (even now, over thirty million whoopie pies later, I still love to bake!)  My whoopie pies were legendary within my circle of friends and family: everyone called them “WICKED.” (In Maine, when something’s good, we call it “good.” When something’s great, we call it “WICKED!”) It seemed to be my calling: baking and selling Wicked Whoopie Pies from my home in Gardiner, Maine.
