I had so much fun planning what to make for my talented friend, and the fact that she’s having a girl is totally the best, because…obviously…I like pink. And since she’s using pretty, pretty pink for her new baby girl’s nursery, I got to use pink for my baby shower cupcakes. Win-win. :)
Okay, so, first things first, why did I make Twinkie cupcakes?
Well, if you have to ask, then you don’t know Kristan. I mean, she knows how to make some seriously fabulous treats using Twinkies.
Homemade Twinkie cupcakes needed to be made.
The cupcakes themselves are a simple and easy yellow cake recipe that has the perfect spongey texture that Twinkies have. Then, they’re filled with an amazing marshmallow cream filling that’s completely irresistible, and topped with fluffy marshmallow buttercream.
I’m not even embarrassed to say that these turned out even better than actual Twinkies. And they’re easy, which is always a good, good thing.
