pistachio-cardamom whoopie pies

whoopies for lauren's birthday brunch

the recipe came from the book whoopie pies

for ease and uniformity, I typically use my tbsp scoop for each cake

that will give you approx. 2-inch cakes

this time I tried some 2 tbsp cakes as well

these result in approx. 3.5-inch cakes

both sizes for comparison

I usually stick to the smaller ones - easier to eat and share

filled the cakes with honey buttercream

the combo wasn't bad, but I think the honey might have overshadowed

the pistachio and cardamom flavor a bit

the cakes had a great flavor though

the book suggested using rosewater buttercream with these whoopies

I had some difficulty finding rosewater or rosewater extract

but I have since obtained a bottle of rosewater, so I will try that next time
