The Twinkies Baking Kit Creates One Large Version of the Snack Cake

The Twinkies Baking Kit is a new offering from Hostess as a way for avid fans of the namesake snack cake to create a party-sized version of it from the comfort of home. The kit comes with everything required to achieve the oversized version of the snack cake including a baking pan along with the cake mix, creme filling mix and complete instructions to follow along with. The kit comes packaged with a bow on top to make it the perfect gift for avid fans of the snack cake to create when hosting a get-together or simply looking for an unexpected offering to serve on a weeknight.
