Helpful Tips to make Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pies

• Do not skip the parchment paper. It keeps the whoopie pie cakes from sticking to the baking pan.
• You can make the frosting a day or two ahead of time. It will keep fine in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
• Using a piping bag with a large round piping tip will make it easier to drop circles of batter on the baking pan.
