Twinkie Heart Cakes

Twinkies are a well known little cream filled treat that kids and adults have loved for years and years (and years, and years, andyearsandyears).

The packaging is iconic, the taste brings back memories, and let’s face it, a Twinkie puts a smile on everyone’s face. Today we’re going to show you how we made Twinkies turn into little heart cakes for Valentine’s Day (or ANY occasion you need them for!).

Supplies:

Twinkies
Vanilla frosting (frosting bag optional)
Sprinkles
Bread knife (or kitchen scissors)

How fun is that? My daughter loved the purple cake and my son like the one with the pearl sprinkles. We are so excited to make these again! So easy, so tasty, and so pretty.
