Limited-Edition Brand Birthday Cakes

The Hostess Birthday CupCakes Celebrate 100 Years

— February 20, 2019 — Lifestyle
The Hostess Birthday CupCakes have been introduced by the brand as a celebratory confection that marks the 100th birthday of the company. The treats feature a golden cake that has been mixed with a large amount of rainbow sprinkles and filled with a vanilla icing at the center for a surprise touch of sweetness for consumers to enjoy. The top of the cakes have been finished with icing and more sprinkles to further enhance the chromatic nature of the treats in a way that pays homage to the brand's original CupCakes product.

The Hostess Birthday CupCakes have been announced alongside two additional flavors including Mint Chocolate CupCakes and Strawberry CupCakes as part of the CupCake Craze 2019.
