Conquering my piping fears (and a sugar cookie recipe)

In my last post I talked about how I had just finished up a 4 week cake decorating class. I have to say again how great it was and just how many skills I got from doing this. It’s amazing how many things I learnt in this course that I can now apply to other recipes (or non cake relate recipes). One non cake related recipe I have wanted to try all year are sugar cookies decorated with royal icing.

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

I have been dying to cook and taste whoopie pies ever since I started hearing about them months ago on Annie's Eats. So you can only imagine how happy I was when I received the latest addition of Super Food Ideas magazine and found them on the front cover. I knew immediately that I would be making them this weekend.
