Whoopie pie · Portland
Two soft round chocolate cakes sandwiched around fluffy white marshmallow-cream filling, traditionally palm-sized. Designated Maine's official state treat in 2011 (the blueberry pie remains the state dessert).
The whoopie pie's origin is contested among Maine, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Maine's claim rests on the Labadie's Bakery (Lewiston, 1925) and on Amish recipes adapted by Maine bakers in the early 1900s. The Maine state legislature designated the whoopie pie as the state's official treat in 2011 (with the blueberry pie remaining the state dessert). Two Fat Cats Bakery and Wicked Whoopies (Gardiner, Maine, also sold in Portland) are the canonical commercial sources; family bakeries across Maine each have a personal recipe.
