Hi Joy! These look yummy! When I was young we used to make a frosting we called Twinkie Frosting. We made a base of thickened flour & milk & beat it w/ (I think) butter & sugar til it was light & fluffy in the saucepan. Not sure of the exact recipie & my Mom has passed away, so I can’t ask her. Have you ever heard of this frosting? It was like Heaven & I would like to get it back if I could. I’d appreciate it if you know & foreward it to me!!! Thanks!!!

Finally, found a recipe for twinkies. My daughter is allergic to soy and all the brand name products have soy in them. Now she can have her twinkies again. Thanks

I tried these and ended up with a bit of a mess! I’m not sure what I did wrong, but would welcome any suggestions, as I’m a novice baker. I believe I followed all the instructions carefully, but my twinkie cakes were super crumbly and dry. The filling was okay, but tasted quite a bit like shortening. And, when I tried to pipe in the filling, it made the cakes break into pieces. :-( I would love to find a recipe for a twinkie cake that actually is soft and spongy, not crumbly and a filling that is sweet and creamy, but doesn’t taste like shortening. Any help is appreciated :-)

My girlfriend mentioned a recipe of yours to me this morning and I’ve just spent the last hour surfing. I think I’m in love :) What an awesome blog!

And also, my friend and I are going to battle each other – “Iron Chef Battle Superbowl Foods” – so I’m on the hunt for some recipes and really need dessert ideas. I think this is totally going to be one of them. Thanks!
