  2. Be careful not to overbake the pies, as they can become dry if left in the oven too long.
  3. Ensure the filling is at room temperature before spreading it on the pies to prevent any melting or sliding.
  4. Do not skip the buttermilk in the batter, as it helps to keep the pies moist and tender.
  5. Store the whoopie pies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and prevent them from drying out.
