"It is crack-addictive. This butter cake is SO GOOD, people. It was one of my favorites years ago and it remains that way now. Go to Flying Monkey and get yo'self some!"

Christina Ricchiuti Dubin

"The Butter Cake from Flying Monkey Bakery may appear simple on the surface, but this Inexplicably sweet, salty, chewy and crunchy treat was the best thing I ate at Reading Terminal Market. That is on seriously delicious treat. YUM."

Drew Lazor

"Flying Monkey Bakery owner Elizabeth Halen makes unbeatable whoopie pies."

Danya Henninger

"Elizabeth Halen is famous for her version of these regional favorites, which are like oversized Oreos, but with cakes instead of cookies on either side of the creamy filling. Look for interesting flavors like honey-roasted peanut and bananas Foster."

Philadelphia Magazine

"This cookie-pie-cake mash-up has the power to dethrone the cupcake as Philly’s most popular snack."

Philadelphia Style Magazine

"Using ingredients from the neighboring Iovine Brothers Urban Produce Market and the Fair Food Farmstand, Halen whips up delicious whoopie pies and cakes."

Sheila Scarborough

"Food always helps, of course, so stumbling on the Flying Monkey Bakery‘s delicious soft Whoopie Pies began to turn my mental tide."

Helen Horstmann

"Whoopie pies are a Pennsylvania specialty, and nowhere does them better than Flying Monkey. Start with the traditional styles – two soft, moist cakes sandwiching cream cheese frosting. Then, give the flavored frostings a try, or go crispy, like my personal favorite, the oatmeal caramel."

Mandy McGovern

"Ever since our little adventure to the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, and our whoopie pies from The Flying Monkey, I knew I had to try making some at home."

Heather Danishanko

"With a cup of coffee, you are ready for more sweets! The Flying Monkey Bakery was the first treasure that I discovered at the Reading Terminal Market. I recommend the butter cake."
