Choose Your Own Whoopie Pie Dozen

McClure’s Bakery ships its famous Whoopie Pies nationwide on Goldbelly! Whoopie pies originated in Lancaster County and are one of Pennsylvania Dutch Country’s best known and most loved comfort foods for locals and visitors alike. They were created by Lancaster’s Amish and Pennsylvania German communities and have been handed down for years in home kitchens and small bakeries, from generation to generation. It’s believed that whoopie pies were first made from leftover cake batter, and Amish legend has it that, when children and even farmers would find the delicious treat in their lunch pail, they’d yell out “Whoopie!,” hence the name. Whoopie pies are actually more like a sandwich, made of two cake-like cookies with a cream center.

Nestled in the heart of Amish Country in Gap, Pennsylvania, McClure’s Bakery has been turning out flawless renditions of Amish classics like Shoofly Pie and other goodies since 1974. This Amish bakery produces what many believe is the country’s best Shoofly Pie, based on an old family recipe. Their whoopie pies are amazing too.
