Where to eat whoopie pies in London

Not yet heard of the whoopie pie? Put down your cupcake at once. London's Hummingbird bakery has been selling them for months and even M&S is launching a range in July. The New England cake and cream sandwich (like two chocolate cookies bound together with plenty of cream) is here to stay.

HARRODS
(Harrods Food Halls, 87–135 Brompton Road, SW1 , 020 7730 1234 Harrods.com)

Exactly as you'd expect from an upmarket department store, Harrods has turned the original whoopie into a couture cake in pistachio, pumpkin and gingerbread flavours at £2.50 a pinch.

OUTSIDER TART
(83 Chiswick High Road, W4, or Putney Market, SW15, 020 7096 1609, Outsidertart.com)

Being a "US-style boutique bakery", Outsider Tart has expert knowledge of this inside-out cupcake. Its signature whoopie is the classic American oatmeal pumpkin (£3) but there are another six flavours to choose from if the combination of veg and cream isn't quite to your liking.

SWEET THINGS
The Cakery, 3 Primrose Hill Workshops, NW3 (020 7722 2107, Sweetthings.biz)

Natalie Allen says she only decorates hers with edible glitter rather than extra icing so come here for the lighter whoopie pie. £1.75 each or £1 for mini pies in chocolate, vanilla and oreo flavours.

THE CRAZY BAKER
(Order from 020 8964 1712 or Crazybaker.co.uk)

Sophie Grey caters for those desperate to get their hands on a whoopie to share with colleagues but no time to run down to the shops. Hers are around 10cm wide, baked and packaged by hand and delivered to your door. £3 in chocolate or red.
