Blueberry and Raspberry Buttermilk Cakes

When Martha Stewart was in Maine, she stumbled upon Cranberry Island Kitchen and loved their treats so much she featured them on TV. These soft, sweet cakes are baked from a century-old recipe developed on Little Cranberry Island off Bar Harbor, Maine. Half are dotted with fresh local blueberries, and half with local raspberries. All are glazed with a thin sheen of frosting. They're equally tasty at breakfast as they are heated up for dessert and served with ice cream and fresh raspberry or blueberry sauce.

Here’s what you get:

• 12 buttermilk cakes; 6 are filled with raspberries and 6 are filled with blueberries

Brand: Cranberry Island Kitchen

Some people call them gobs, bobs, or black moons. Karen Haase and Carol Ford, the baking wizards behind Portland, Maine’s Cranberry Island Kitchen, call them whoopie pies. "What is this strange whoopie thing?" you ask. Well, it's a delicious sandwich-like dessert made from two small chocolate cakes stuck together with a gob of icing. Beloved by none other than Martha Stewart, Cranberry Island Kitchen's gourmet whoopie pies include butter, water, eggs, and sea salt harvested from Maine (where the whoopie pie is the official state treat), and are shaped like mussel and scallop shells as a gentle nod to their coastal origins. The basic whoopie pie comes in chocolate, golden, and pumpkin; 4-Layer Gourmet Whoopie Pie Cake, a larger and more complex version of its smaller sibling, is available in even more flavors, including lemon & lime and Cointreau. Cranberry Island Kitchen also sells unique gourmet food products, rich and delicious buttermilk cakes, adorable lobster-shaped shortbread cookies, and gift sets for every occasion from baby showers to birthdays (the Break-up Box, which includes 12 X-shaped, double-chocolate whoopie pies and wads of tissues, is a favorite).
