when i have a really bad day, i bake weird things.
and when I'm just inconsolable, i bake weird things inside of other things.
que birthday cake oreo whoopie pies...
i don't know what was going through my mind but apparently crying causes temporary genius in my culinary brain.
But I'm okay, I got through what I was dealing with and I ended up with some awesome whoopie pies to share with you.
