Whoopie pies at the York State Fairgrounds.
00:00 - Hi my name is Megan frank and I am the owner
00:02 - of that will be pie stand at the York fair
00:05 - we have been here for fifteen years and we have over twenty five different flavors
00:09 - and we make them all fresh every day right here at the fair
00:12 - so what we start with is our cake batter
00:16 - and we scoop them out you'll see throughout the process that we use ice cream scoops
00:21 - and that way it makes everything uniform so everyone
00:23 - gets the same amount of cake and the same amount of icing
00:26 - so once we have a lot of trays then we'll go ahead and put them in our ovens
00:32 - someone always has a timer going on to make sure that they all have the same
00:37 - consistency and none of them get burnt
00:39 - otherwise those it'll mess ups go to the side and
00:41 - we give those out to the workers that are here.
00:44 - We make our icing in this huge mixer right here
00:48 - each batch of icing is thirty two pounds of sugar.
00:52 - Whenever we have fillings all will specifically peanut
00:55 - butter butter cream use fifteen pounds of peanut butter
00:58 - every batch this fair alone we've been been
01:00 - through a hundred pounds of peanut butter so far
01:03 - so after we make the icing and all of the whoopie
01:05 - pie shells are cool then we'll come down here
01:08 - and we have an assembly line that will still the whoopie
01:11 - pies right now we are making chocolate peanut butter.
01:15 - So we have one person that flips them and one person that fills them
01:21 - and then you go back and then you top them.
01:27 - We go through so many whoopie pies that we have to have a very robust assembly line
01:31 - otherwise we'll never meet demand here
01:33 - so our wrapping system
01:35 - is this conveyor belt
01:37 - and it wraps forty eight will be pies at a time
01:41 - and I can if you want to
01:43 - head down that way I'll turn it on and you can see him come out.
01:56 - This machine is affectionately called Ethel a lot of people that come to the fair
02:00 - like to stand and watch and they always say reminds them of the Lucy and apple show
02:04 - and they're at the chocolate factory
02:06 - and a lot of times that's how we feel
02:08 - so
02:09 - This is what we feel like makes a perfect will be pie and we hope
02:12 - you stop by the fair currency us.
