Fun recipes for filled cookie cakes

Tempting recipes for delightfully different home-baked treats. From simple classics to fun new ideas, there's a whoopie pie here to suit everyone. Move over cupcakes, whoopie pies have come to town! Not quite a cake, not quite a cookie, these delightfully squidgy treats are the new baking craze sweeping the world. Originally an Amish tradition, sometimes decorated, sometimes not, they can be enjoyed in a variety of flavours with different fillings.

Classic Pies are the perfect indulgence. Deliciously simple recipes include Classic Chocolate and Marshmallow Fluff Pies, Pumpkin Pies decorated to look like mini-pumpkins, Red Velvet Pies and Pecan Pies.

A chapter of less conventional but no less delicious Fruity Pies boasts a juicy Raspberry and Cream Pie, Chocolate and Cherry Pie, Key Lime Jelly Pie, Lemon Sherbet Pie and Banoffee Pie.

Luxury Pies make perfect home-baked gifts and include chocolate-box pretty Rose and Violet Pies, refreshingly minty Grasshopper Pies, creamy Coconut Cloud Pies or grown-up Almond and Amaretto Pies, perfect for dessert with a cup of coffee. Gingerbread Pies are a perfect Christmas or winter treat

Ideal for any celebration, Party Pies offers plenty of inspiration. Try Ice Cream Pies, a Giant Whoopie Birthday Pie, a towering rainbow-hued Whoopie Pie Croquembouche or Oyster Pies, each one complete with its own sugar pearl.

Get baking today and create your own whoopie pie sensations!
