No Big Whoop's Story
Hi! I'm Widdi Turner, Chief Whoopie Officer for No Big Whoop! Bakery. I've worn a lot of hats in my life, from actor (most folks know me from the Food Network's Good Eats with Alton Brown), to TV & radio commercial producer, to wildlife sanctuary educational assistant, to audiobook narrator and more, but for the past thirteen years, I've been making whoopie...pies! This wonderful adventure began when, as a member of a baton twirling troupe called Turnin' TriXXX based out of the Little Five Points neighborhood of Atlanta, I would make treats to sell at our bake sales (hey, someone had to pay for those wigs and costumes!). On February 14, 2011, I sold my first whoopie pies at our Valentine bake sale at the Euclid Avenue Yacht Club, and I haven't stopped baking them since!
​​
Oh, and the name? Well, first it came about because my
whoopie pies are smaller than the traditional Amish ones.
But No Big Whoop is more than a bakery. It's an attitude. Whenever life starts to get a bit overwhelming,
I just tell myself, "It's no big whoop." Trust me, it works!
​
I love what I do, and it makes me happy to bring a smile
to your face, whether you're enjoying my whoopie pies
at your favorite coffee shop, receiving them as a gift,
or ordering them for your special occasions.
