Notes
  1. Size-Wise
  2. You'll know its a special occasion when these pumpkin flavored treats are served.
  3. Shortcut
  4. Use a small ice cream scoop to quickly portion the scoops of dough onto the baking sheet.
  5. Make Ahead
  6. The cakes can be made ahead of time. Bake and freeze up to 2 weeks. When freezing, place in single layer in pan to prevent them from sticking together. Thaw completely before using to assemble whoopie pies.
