| I love success stories! |
When folks think of New England and food the items that probably pop to mind are clam chowder, lobster, cranberries, and maybe turkey. I don't think sweets are something this region is known for. That is a shame, since the most popular cookie of all time (at least in my mind) was invented in my very state. I am referring to the Chocolate Chip Cookie of course.
Growing up it was common for us to bake chocolate chip cookies (always from scratch - never the slice and dice type), Snickerdoodles, and Hermits. For bake sales or really special occasions we would make Whoopie Pies.
When I came across this article in the New York Times: One Bakery Owner's Dream: Taking Whoopies to the World I, of course, had to read it. It is a great story about a woman who left her 9 - 5 job to stay home with her kids and needed to find a way to make some extra money. She started selling her whoopie pies from her kitchen and now 10 years later she has built a business and booked $1 million in sales this year.
Great story - but now I am craving a Whoopie Pie... |
