Big Girl/Small City

This was the second dessert for this weekend’s bridal shower. As we went with the love/sex theme for the desserts we decided that whoopie pies would make a good co-pilot for the pinneapple delight. The placecard says “let’s make whoopie.”

Because these are quite sweet we cut them in half and found this was a good move on our part.

This weekend i helped host a bridal shower (my second in one month!).
