Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix
2 large eggs
1 stick melted butter
1/2 small package of dry orange jello powder mix
1-1/2 Tbsp orange juice
3 Tbsp flour, if needed
1/2 c crisco shortening
1/2 container of small jar of fluff marshmallow
1 Tbsp orange juice
2 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
orange sprinkles for tops

Steps:

1. In large bowl, mix cake mix as directed, w/ the ingredients listed on the box, except add dry jello mix & orange juice. Preheat oven as directed on box. Spray a small ice cream scooper w/ a little cooking spray.
2. If the batter is too sticky, add a little of the flour mentioned in this recipe. Set parchment papers on several cookie sheets. With the ice cream scooper, scoop 1" balls of dough onto a cookie sheet. Sprinkle the orange colored sprinkles on every other scooped ball. (These will be the tops.)
3. Bake 9-11 minutes, or until slightly firm to the touch. Let cool a minute or 2 then remove to racks to fully cool. In medium bowl, Beat Crisco, Fluff, 1Tbsp orange juice, powdered sugar & 1 tsp vanilla, until smooth. Once cookies are cool, place about 1 Tbsp, ( or more, depending on how full you want them,) of filling onto every other cookie, ( these will be the bottoms,) Spread w/ a spoon. Place the tops w/ the sprinkles over the bottoms w/ the filling, press down lightly. I usually put them in a long, wide container w/ parchment paper in between & on top, so they don't stick together, but, alas, I had none left to put away since everyone ate them right away! lol.

Tips:

To make the perfect whoopie pie, start with a soft and fluffy cake base. The recipe provided in the article uses a combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk to create a light and airy cake that's perfect for sandwiching with creamy filling.
Don't overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
Chill the cake layers before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from melting and seeping out.
Be generous with the filling. The cream cheese filling is the star of the show, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it.
Decorate the whoopie pies with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sprinkles, chocolate chips, or even fresh fruit.
