My wife called me from Bed Bath & Beyond this afternoon and said, "You have GOT to blog this." Far
be it from me to disappoint. The Hostess Twinkies Bake Set, which retails for $19.99, allows you to create your own
sugar-filled heart attack caplets. Just what you need before setting the kids down to bed! The kit comes with a spatula
that can withstand the temperature of a sun going nova and a tray for baking up to eight Twinkies at once. The best
part, though? The "icing injector", which you use to fill the cake with glucose-propelling goodness. Needless
to say, nothing in the rules requires you use the injector to insert the standard creme filling. As the BB&B site
says, "be creative". I'm thinking Cool Whip blended with strawberries. Mmmmm...Honestly, we may end up buying this. Even if we only use it once, the kitsch value is too good to pass up. Besides, I have to know: what the hell do you do with the Hostess Mascot in the picture?? It is functional, or is it the world's cheesiest serving tray?
1. Great post!! I've actually tried the Twinkie maker before. Unfortunately, what comes out in no way resembles a Twinkie in taste, shape or color (I think this can only be achieved by combining radioactive chemicals and letting them congeal for 30 years) but it's fun to try. There's one for their popular cupcake too..and a mini kids' version bake set. ;)
