The Whoopie Pie was first made to sell by Labadie's Bakery in Lewiston in 1925.

On a side note I will say I have not liked any of the commercially sold Whoopie pies in Maine except from Labadie's, and Bisson's Center Store in Phippsburg. Both of those taste like my mom's homemade whoopie pies, not cake patties with frosting, which is how most taste to me.

Try the ones you see at smaller venues (craft fairs and holiday fairs). Some of the cottage industry booths have really good ones. My favorites are made by “Forever Whoopies” I found at a couple craft fairs and the Whoopie Pie Festival.
