What a fun thing to do! When I was a kid, my grandmother would get some of these and we would share them. Now that I have grandchildren of my own, I would never buy the actual product because of all the toxic ingredients. It just did not occur to me to make them myself. Now if we get the chance, we can have a fun day of baking with wholesome ingredients and have the yum as well. Thanks!
😂 my dad was the icing man at Hostess Cake in San Francisco from the early 1930's to early Sixties. He always told the tour groups that the Curly Q on top was made by the mixer winding up the icing 😂😂😂 His boss was never happy about that. He brought home seconds for us everyday. Cupcakes, snowballs, twinkies and fruit pies.
My step-father was a janitor there 70's-retired early 90's and was part of that major Alioto lawsuit. Any who, we always had a box or two in the fridge of donuts, Snowballs, Suzy-Qs.... BTW: Mom worked seasonly at Sees😊
@Acre Homestead Becky, as a former bakery owner I am thrilled to share with you the recipe I used for non sticking for my cakes, cupcakes, etc.. It stores in the fridge for a very long time. I kept mine in a quart jar in the fridge door. Btw, I was given the recipe by a Wilton Cake Instructor back in the 80's. Before that I used Baker's Joy nonstick spray. Recipe as follows: 1c oil 1c Crisco Shortening 1c all purpose flour Mix well and brush onto your baking pans with a good coat before adding the batter. Your baked goodies will come out perfect every time.
Hey Becky, here’s a handy little tip - when you want to have a filling in a cupcake wait for them to cool and then use an apple corer to take out the centre of the cupcake (don’t push the corer to the bottom of the cupcake or the filling will spill out). You’re then left with the perfect size hole for the filling. If you want a neat finish on the top keep the hole you cut out and cut a little off the length then pop the hole back on top of the cupcake - ta da surprise filling and a neat cupcake top to frost on to. Also if you want a specific nozzle with which to fill a homemade Twinkie buy a donut nozzle which has a longer spout that you can pipe from each end of the Twinkie.
@@colleenbellscanadiangarden9180 I did not suggest Becky did anything wrong. I was merely offering some tips for different nozzles as she said she liked cake decorating.
My dad was born in 1933. He used to tell me he remembered when the cupcakes became filled ones. He loved them and would buy them 2 for 5cents and take them to the movies.
I'm gonna say that the homemade versions of these are much better. They don't have all the additives and whatever else makes the original ones last for five hundred years. Delicious Becky!
Please do Ding Dongs! Helpful hint for pastry tips: The white part goes inside the bag, then the tip on the outside, then you screw on the ring. That way, you can swap out the tips without getting them from inside the bag.
You must be psychic. My other half literally asked me 30 minutes ago if any of the people I watch have taught me how to make twinkies yet. Living in the UK they are difficult to get and expensive when I do find them. He's going to be so excited when I tell him. Thanks
Just a hint: I use parchment cupcake papers. They look like regular cupcake papers. Except they are brown. Your cupcakes comes off the papers perfectly. No sticking. I'm so excited to try these recipes! Love your show!
The twinkie pan would be perfect for mini strawberry angel food cakes. You could make a beautiful dinner dessert presentation. I love watching you try new things.
Hi Becky! You can make pan release that is shelf stable for 6 months or refrigerated one year. It replaces bakers joy and does not leave flour on the edges of your baked goods. 1 cup each Crisco,All purpose flour and vegetable oil. Use only vegetable oil no sub. Blend together with stick blender and brush your pan liberally! Baked goods come out clean every time. This is what the bakery uses. Love your videos!
I bought the cupcakes for my granddaughters who are 8, 10, and 12 years old. They wouldn't eat them, so I gave them to my neighbors kids. They're definitely not the same as they were when I was a kid. I'm 62 years old, so I'm happy to see you making a homemade version. Thank you!
I am going to say this......SIFT EVERYRHING! JUST last week I was making cupcakes for my hubby's birthday. Low and behold, I found GLASS in my flour. GLASS! I will ALWAYS sift EVERYthing now! God bless! 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏
I definitely examine everything that I get. I soaked my meat in lemon juice because of All the chemicals they shoot in them. Also put your flour and corn meal in the freezer. The people that work for the companies don't have the work ethics our generation did.
@@spoetryqueenI wonder whether it's the work ethic or companies cutting corners. There is a constant clamor to cut taxes, but taxes pay for food inspection authorities which are understaffed.
@lysem4392 Your taxes haven't gone to anything except debt servicing since the 70's. In 1984 the Gracd Commission Report showed that 100% of income taxes paid went solely to debt servicing, nothing else. Since then, we've stacked on debt like crazy because we've never addressed our debt situation. Money printer go brrr pays for food inspection, that's it.
Piping tip: don't push all the icing (or whatever you're piping) to the tip, smoosh about a 1/3 of it to the tip; leave the rest on top, so you'll have a small ball in your hand & a big one on top of your hand, this will also help keep the bag from breaking at the seams. Also the big white plastic part goes in the bag, the metal tip and ring on the outside so you can change out the tips if, needed. It was great seeing you have so much fun!
Also, when having all the icing in the bag with your hands on it will warm the icing, causing it to melt before you pipe it out. Though that might not always be an issue depending on what you are piping, I guess.
My mom put me on a diet for my entire childhood, starting at age 5. I NEVER got sweets in my lunch. But blessed be the birthday kids back in the day who brought these instead of the homemade cupcakes. It felt like I was committing a felony, but tasted like heaven to me. ,😂
I can’t be the only one who when watching a Becky baking/meal prep video has to have something to eat because it makes them hungry! Also I love Josh! We need more of him in the videos! I respect he doesn’t want to be on camera but I think him talking in the background is great, I love his opinions and I also love how he makes Becky smile and giggle still too 🥰
We had a Hostess Bakery in our neighborhood when I was growing up. I am 69 now. It was a huge treat once a month to go to the on site store to pick out our favorites. I haven’t had these in years. I enjoy watching your videos!
Becky, if you're filling or decorating with a baggie and you have a break thru and need another bag just put the broken bag into the new bag. It works even with 2 bags together! Clean up is easier.
Becky you help with my anxiety, even when you’re overwhelmed you still give off collected and don’t make a big deal about mistakes. Thank you for being you ❤️
My imagination tells me your versions are SO much better than the real thing! I'm a baker & my Mom taught me, so I'm always so disappointed when I eat the originals! They taste plasticy to me. You did a beautiful job Becky! Thx for explaining ganache, I was intimidated before you taught me!!!❤️
Hi, when baking with chocolate it's best to use the old method of buttering your pan and then flouring the pan if you don't have liners or you are baking a cake.😊
I was thinking the same and instead of greasing and flouring the pans grease and dust with cocoa powder. Also, the tops of the cupcakes stuck perhaps because Becky wiped away the non stick spray from the tops of the pan when cleaning them before baking.
You know once my friends and I had a Twinkie party? We all made our own versions of homemade twinkies or Twinkie inspired food item. My 2 were Nutella flavored and maple bacon flavored. Super yummy!!
Becky, this was such a fun video! You did a great job “honoring” two iconic American treats. You make us feel like we are right there in your kitchen with you. Thank you so much.
Yippee!! I was hoping if I did my chores that are no fun and then checked back you'd have posted another fantastic fun video. Thanks Becky, for all the hard work and sharing and generous nature of your videos. I think you must be a great person to know.
Hostess cakes and twinkies are very nostalgic for me, was always in my school lunch, or another brand called, Tasty Kakes, which were from the Philadelphia, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware areas. Definitely going to make these for my family in England!
Hi, Becky! While the cakes are warm, take a skewer and poke it in the cakes where the filling will go. Gently twirl the skewer to make room(a cavity) in the cake for the filling. This will reduce the need for you to squeeze the bags so hard.😊
I never eat sweets, but it IS Becky, so I'm always watching. I'm not diabetic either. We just never grew up eating sweets. Thank you, mom & dad. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi 🙏🏻 ✨️📿💓
40:39 I agree with not using orange in the twinkle batter. It's more of a vanilla sponge cake. Now years before you were born, they had a mild banana flavor. You can use the twinkle pan to make hostess raspberry zingers
My Mom would buy twinkies for my Dad’s lunch. She put them in the freezer thinking they would last longer but….my brother and I discovered them and that is where our journey of eating them frozen began 😊 I haven’t had one for a few decades now and not sure if I would like them room temperature!
Try dipping the Twinkies in a pancake batter and deep frying them. Pure heaven. I thought it would be awful and ignored them at the local fairs. I was wrong.
I lived in the USA for 6 months when I was 4 yrs old (about 55 years ago!) and I can 'taste' those cupcakes just by seeing the box! They certainly make an impression.
Those look absolutely awesome! I haven’t eaten a Twinkie or a Hostess cupcake in many years because they don’t taste the same! Whoever took over Hostess changed the recipe!
This is a fun idea. I enjoy your channel. Our local Latino market’s bakery makes the cupcakes called Penguinos. Delicious. Apparently the curlicue top is difficult to do. A new baker can’t master it so they’ve eliminated the Penguino from their menu. 😢 You might find it easier to fold ingredients if you use a slightly bigger rubber spatula. With easy Amazon shopping a lot of us ordered smaller spatulas than we realized. 😅
I spray all of my tins with either coconut oil or flour/oil spray. They pop out of the tins perfectly. Also, if you over fill the cup, they will rise up and over the sides and stick, unless you spray the top of the tin as well.
🙋🏻♀️ Me too with the oven light! I love how you're so comfortable making new things because you make it look so easy for us try ourselves, I'm only halfway through but these are looking perfect & And without a thousand unhealthy ingredients 🥰
This! I was just looking to find a yummy desert to make on this Sunday afternoon! Tonight we have, honey garlic pork tenderloin in the instant pot with oven roasted red and sweet potatoes and pan fried bacon brussel sprouts! Our whole family loves your videos!
Becky it’s always good to add a little bit at a time of your flour mixture. You could lose some of your leveling agents when you add all at once & it poofs out of your mixer. Which could result in a faulty baked item. Good job on everything😊
Those Twinkies and Hostess Cupcakes look so cute and yummy. Love your light-hearted attitude in the kitchen and your adorable smile, too. Happy baking! 😁
4:37 For anyone thinking about getting a Bosch mixer, we got one a few months ago and its great! Having the mixing arm low and in the center makes it super stable for kneading. I highly recommend upgrading to the stainless bowl, mine stays on the countertop and I personally think it looks better and more subtle than the white plastic. It also holds warmth well for rising dough and I feel much better having my foods mixed in a metal bowl (the center mixer and some of the attachments are plastic but that wasnt a deal breaker for me) We eat a lot more pizza, tortillas and sandwich bread now that I make them regularly 🤩
Becky I love your willingness to try new things with us. I can’t imagine you not being able to push yourself to make anything to be at the least edible…but most of the time I believe from how it looks. That it turns out pretty darn good. Keep pushing yourself to do better. You are truly an inspiration to us all. To be so young and have accomplished so much. Amazing!!!!
When you do the decoration on top, allow the cream to fall out of the tip with just a slight amount of pressure from your hand. When you press too hard with your hand, the icing comes out and wrinkles. So make sure your icing will flow enough that you can follow the pattern around cleanly and smoothly. Practicing on the parchment paper would also help. They look delicious.
Just an FYI, the plastic coupler goes in the pipping bag and the tip goes on top of the bag and coupler so that you can switch out pipping tips if you need to.
Wow a clean food version of my favorite childhood commercial sweet treats. I haven't has these in years. Thanks Becky - your the best. Where did you find the twinkie pan?
Hi Becky! What great recreations of these classics!! A tip with the piping for you: put the white piece in the bag, then put the metal tip on the outside of the bag before placing the screw top on. That way, if you're doing another project and you want to use the same icing with a different tip, you can just unscrew it, change the tip, and screw the new one into place! You wouldn't have to refill a whole new bag with the same icing just to change the tip! 🧁
Great job, they look great! On piping bags, the large white part of the coupler goes on the inside, the tip goes over it on the outside of the bag, then the ring part of the coupler screws over the tip. This allows you to easily change piping tips.
I always use the spray that has the flour in it with it. BAKER'S JOY is the name and I get it at Walmart. That way nothing sticks as you've spayed it with oil and floured it at same time. Glad to see you doing these classic snack cakes.
I enjoyed your video. The top of your cupcake tin needed to be greased because the cake overflowed on it as it baked. Dusting pan with cocoa powder would be added insurance. I’m inspired to make filled cupcakes!
Homemade baking goop = equal parts of flour, oil & shortening. Mix well and paint tins with pastry brush. Last approximate 9 months in refrigerator. If using for chocolate cake generously paint tins as chocolate cakes notoriously stick more than other cakes. Or use chocolate goop for chocolate cake = 1 Tbsp cocoa, 2 Tbsp oil & 2 Tbsp shortening and mix well. Paint tins with pastry brush.
Gosh, that was so much fun to watch…those are two of my favorite childhood snacks. The ones they make today are not the same. Very ambitious of you to do both at the same time. Wish I could have been there to taste them! Good job❣️
Okay, you definitely need to remember the Twinkie needs to be immortal! Seriously, in all my 62 years I have yet to see a moldy Twinkie. Or come to think about it, no Cupcake either!
Very impressive! You should try Banana Flips. They aren’t sold anymore but basically they are like a banana cake folded into a taco shape with banana cream filling.
I loved Banana Flips as a kid! A few months ago, I ran across a channel called Little Village Homestead where this lady made whoopie pies using cake mix. I found Dolly Parton’s banana cake mix, and used that. There were a few other ingredients too. I made these, and they came out tasting so good that I will never buy a store bought Banana Flip ever again! You can make other flavors too - I did strawberry, and they were also very tasty, but my favorite flavor is the banana!
The Hostess Cupcakes and Twinkies were never favs, homemade versions are definitely something I will try. Cornbread in the hotdog tin would be fun. You could fill treats with your homemade jans....so yummy. How about a Red Velvet Twinkie with a cream cheese filling?

Cheers for the tip
That's how I fill cupcakes, too. Muffins with a little jam inside. The options are endless. Much easier than squirting it in.
Twinkies have the 3 top holes in it, so recreating it she did that right. :)

I lived in the USA for 6 months when I was 4 yrs old (about 55 years ago!) and I can 'taste' those cupcakes just by seeing the box! They certainly make an impression.
Nice to see you and Josh together, very fun episode!
I made up pumpkin custard ( think pumpkin pie without the pastry), and put it in pumpkin muffins. Very good!
Sounds delicious
Those look absolutely awesome! I haven’t eaten a Twinkie or a Hostess cupcake in many years because they don’t taste the same! Whoever took over Hostess changed the recipe!
My all time favorite was the cupcakes growing up
Ah, the memories you've invoked in me. Thank you, Becky!❤
Blessings to you and your family Becky. These look so delicious, have a awesome week as God gives us all life once more❤❤🙏
This is a fun idea. I enjoy your channel.
Our local Latino market’s bakery makes the cupcakes called Penguinos. Delicious. Apparently the curlicue top is difficult to do. A new baker can’t master it so they’ve eliminated the Penguino from their menu. 😢
You might find it easier to fold ingredients if you use a slightly bigger rubber spatula. With easy Amazon shopping a lot of us ordered smaller spatulas than we realized. 😅
I spray all of my tins with either coconut oil or flour/oil spray. They pop out of the tins perfectly. Also, if you over fill the cup, they will rise up and over the sides and stick, unless you spray the top of the tin as well.
Helpful. Thanks
YOU NAILED IT! They look great and I can tell they tasted great too! You are so much fun to watch, love your channel!
I miss butterscotch krimpets, those were my favorite!
🙋🏻♀️ Me too with the oven light!
I love how you're so comfortable making new things because you make it look so easy for us try ourselves, I'm only halfway through but these are looking perfect & And without a thousand unhealthy ingredients 🥰
This! I was just looking to find a yummy desert to make on this Sunday afternoon! Tonight we have, honey garlic pork tenderloin in the instant pot with oven roasted red and sweet potatoes and pan fried bacon brussel sprouts! Our whole family loves your videos!
You can buy a sleeve for on top of the Mixing bowl with your Kitchenaid Machine. This way the Flour will not jump out.
Becky it’s always good to add a little bit at a time of your flour mixture. You could lose some of your leveling agents when you add all at once & it poofs out of your mixer. Which could result in a faulty baked item. Good job on everything😊
Those Twinkies and Hostess Cupcakes look so cute and yummy. Love your light-hearted attitude in the kitchen and your adorable smile, too. Happy baking! 😁
You are stunning in this video Becky! So much light from your eyes make you shine.
Aw thanks so much! You are so very sweet!
This is one hardworking lady. A joy to watch and learn from each and every video!
4:37 For anyone thinking about getting a Bosch mixer, we got one a few months ago and its great! Having the mixing arm low and in the center makes it super stable for kneading.
I highly recommend upgrading to the stainless bowl, mine stays on the countertop and I personally think it looks better and more subtle than the white plastic. It also holds warmth well for rising dough and I feel much better having my foods mixed in a metal bowl (the center mixer and some of the attachments are plastic but that wasnt a deal breaker for me)
We eat a lot more pizza, tortillas and sandwich bread now that I make them regularly 🤩
Too cool, your little one is going to be a happy little taste tester!! Yummy, such a good job..
I think she meant get doggy 😂
@@debbieinitaly she has an almost 2 year old boy..
Becky I love your willingness to try new things with us. I can’t imagine you not being able to push yourself to make anything to be at the least edible…but most of the time I believe from how it looks. That it turns out pretty darn good. Keep pushing yourself to do better. You are truly an inspiration to us all. To be so young and have accomplished so much. Amazing!!!!
When you do the decoration on top, allow the cream to fall out of the tip with just a slight amount of pressure from your hand. When you press too hard with your hand, the icing comes out and wrinkles. So make sure your icing will flow enough that you can follow the pattern around cleanly and smoothly. Practicing on the parchment paper would also help. They look delicious.
They’re beautiful and you are an absolute natural cook artist❤
Great job! They look so authentic!
Keep baking Becky, it makes your meal prep channel more complete. So much fun!
How fun it’s Sunday here 🎉 Thank you Becky🎉
Try flouring the tins.
Thank you for sharing. I use the green plastic bag holders, (that you use for your zip locks,) to hold my pastry bags when filling them.
Just an FYI, the plastic coupler goes in the pipping bag and the tip goes on top of the bag and coupler so that you can switch out pipping tips if you need to.
Huh. Thanks! learned 2 new things. Today!
Well 4 😂😂😂
I was going to say the same thing. 😊
Wow a clean food version of my favorite childhood commercial sweet treats. I haven't has these in years. Thanks Becky - your the best. Where did you find the twinkie pan?
Please tour your wildflower garden
I'm pretty sure that that did not work out. I think the deer took care of it.
Hi Becky! What great recreations of these classics!! A tip with the piping for you: put the white piece in the bag, then put the metal tip on the outside of the bag before placing the screw top on. That way, if you're doing another project and you want to use the same icing with a different tip, you can just unscrew it, change the tip, and screw the new one into place! You wouldn't have to refill a whole new bag with the same icing just to change the tip! 🧁
My aunt made the cupcakes when I was a kid 35 years ago. They were so good.
Great job, they look great! On piping bags, the large white part of the coupler goes on the inside, the tip goes over it on the outside of the bag, then the ring part of the coupler screws over the tip. This allows you to easily change piping tips.
They make a long pointed tip to put filling in cupcakes and pastries. Wilton has one I know.
I always use the spray that has the flour in it with it. BAKER'S JOY is the name and I get it at Walmart. That way nothing sticks as you've spayed it with oil and floured it at same time. Glad to see you doing these classic snack cakes.
I enjoyed your video. The top of your cupcake tin needed to be greased because the cake overflowed on it as it baked. Dusting pan with cocoa powder would be added insurance. I’m inspired to make filled cupcakes!
I love your aprons. Your cooking is so realistic and your videos calming, Love you and your family,
You should use Baker's Joy or the equivalent when doing cakes and cupcakes, and use it liberally. Then you won't have the problem with sticking.
Homemade baking goop = equal parts of flour, oil & shortening. Mix well and paint tins with pastry brush. Last approximate 9 months in refrigerator. If using for chocolate cake generously paint tins as chocolate cakes notoriously stick more than other cakes.
Or use chocolate goop for chocolate cake = 1 Tbsp cocoa, 2 Tbsp oil & 2 Tbsp shortening and mix well. Paint tins with pastry brush.
Gosh, that was so much fun to watch…those are two of my favorite childhood snacks. The ones they make today are not the same. Very ambitious of you to do both at the same time. Wish I could have been there to taste them! Good job❣️
I loved those cupcakes growing up! I’ve made them from scratch and so much better! Believe it or not, I’ve never had a Twinkie!! Gotta try! 😍
Twinkies are so good!! I would not say good for you though 😮
@@chrisrobert-i1rI will try this recipe though!
I've been watching your videos for a very long time and thoroughly enjoyed everything you have made.
Thank you for always sharing
“Loops” were called squiggles in Hostess cupcakes commercials back in the day
❤❤❤wow! Becky you never cease to amaze ! Love all your awesome videos! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ 💕 Blessing to you and your family!
Okay, you definitely need to remember the Twinkie needs to be immortal! Seriously, in all my 62 years I have yet to see a moldy Twinkie. Or come to think about it, no Cupcake either!
Yes! I saw one in a 20 year time capsule and it was NOT moldy!😳🥹
It's in zombie land the movie (they will last forever) 😆
So fun for sure and so fun to add Josh too!! Great job, Becky, they look beautiful and my mouth was watering!
I have been waiting to make sure I saw your video today! I’m excited to see you make these and you never cease to amaze me dear!
WOW! I can't believe that you are making these today! I was just this morning wondering if one could make homemade Twinkies!
Very impressive! You should try Banana Flips. They aren’t sold anymore but basically they are like a banana cake folded into a taco shape with banana cream filling.
Oh wow! I had forgotten about those! They were wonderful!
I loved Banana Flips as a kid! A few months ago, I ran across a channel called Little Village Homestead where this lady made whoopie pies using cake mix. I found Dolly Parton’s banana cake mix, and used that. There were a few other ingredients too. I made these, and they came out tasting so good that I will never buy a store bought Banana Flip ever again! You can make other flavors too - I did strawberry, and they were also very tasty, but my favorite flavor is the banana!
Oooooo! I want to try to make some! They were my favorite back in the day. 😋
How fun! They look like the real ones. Perfect job! Thanks for sharing!!
Excellent and thanks for sharing today
Wow! Beautiful! I haven’t had those in years….now I want ……all of them!
The Hostess Cupcakes and Twinkies were never favs, homemade versions are definitely something I will try. Cornbread in the hotdog tin would be fun. You could fill treats with your homemade jans....so yummy. How about a Red Velvet Twinkie with a cream cheese filling?
