Sunshine in a Cake
more fun with frosting
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Monday, March 15, 2010 11:00 AM
Over the weekend, we had a very special young lady in the house turn 15, and this happy-looking cake was part of the celebration.
Yes, those are Twinkies.
No, I don’t usually “bake” with Twinkies.
But Kateri has had her eye on this cake ever since she spotted the recipe in one of my Taste of Home cookbooks a while back.
It really was easy and fun to put together. I made this one on a bit of a smaller scale than the “potluck” version in the link. For starters, I used a boxed mix. And I cut a single chocolate cake layer into a 6-inch circle and then frosted it as they recommend. That way, the whole cake fit on a smaller plate and required fewer Twinkies to complete.
But still we didn’t eat all the Twinkies yesterday and today is Lent again. Does anyone know if Twinkies freeze well? I wrapped up the leftovers and put them in the freezer, so I can let you know ... next Sunday.

Ahem…do twinkies *ever* go bad? I mean, isn’t their shelf life like 10 years??
Kidding!

Seriously—I’ve always had the impression that if you eat enough Twinkies in your lifetime, you won’t need to be embalmed…

I just printed off your picture of the cake, which looks scrumptious…and your comments on how you made it, and the original recipe to give to my 7-year-old-granddaughter. She loves to bake, and this is something she would love to make for one of our church’s gatherings. I remember my children growing up on Twinkies…hmm…Happy Birthday, Kateri…God Bless You…...
