In a 1930 Illinois Hostess food plant, manager James Dewar gave rise to one of the most popular food icons in the U.S.: the Twinkie.

According to Hostess, Dewar wanted to come up with a use for shortcake pans when the strawberries weren’t in season. Little did Dewar know, these spongy, cream-filled heart attacks would sweep the nation as an American icon.

According to an American snack food history article on Delish.com, the advertisements suggested folks were more likely to eat fruit when served with a Twinkie.

A 1957 ad stated “Housewives have told us their families eat even more fruit when Twinkies are perched on the side of the plates.”

According to the Washington Post, Hostess, the maker of Twinkies and other baked product such as Ho Hos, Wonderbread, and Sno balls, declared bankruptcy for the second time in the past seven years and plans on closing its doors for good.

Small efforts have been put forth. Sun Capital Partners, a private equity firm, wants to buy the 82-year-old bankrupt company and even expressed interest in an acquisition of Hostess Brands earlier in the year, according to fortune.com.

Continues from Valentine’s Day Party on a Budget | Part 1 .

Now for the treats. I served cupcakes, cake, marshmallow pops, cupcakes in a jar (for favors) and jars of milk to wash all of the sweets down.

My cake mix supplied me with a dozen cupcakes, one small three-layer cake and six cupcakes in a jar. I used two boxes of cake mix (white and strawberry), one batch of homemade marshmallow icing tinted a light pink and one batch of homemade cream cheese frosting to make everything.

To make my cake, I used a small 5″ cake pan that I use when I make smash cakes for my children. If you don’t have a cake pan that small, Wal-Mart does carry a 6″ pan in the Wilton aisle in the hobby area for $6. I made my two cake mixes and baked 2 layers of the white in the pan, and one layer of the strawberry cake mix. I also baked a dozen cupcakes...
