I didn't grow up eating Twinkies (thank goodness), but I know many people love them and for those that get diagnosed with celiac or a wheat allergy, it's bye-bye to this nostalgic ooey gooey treat. Since I've had so few twinkies, I could not tell a real one from an imposter even if I could eat one.
Even though I don't care anything about having a Twinkie type treat, I coudn't resist the version offered by Katz Gluten-Free. There was a vanilla creme filled cake and a chocolate creme filled cake from this line in the freezer at Sprouts. They were on sale so I could not pass the oportunity to try at least one version up.
The first thing I noticed was how small the little cakes were...I think they're smaller than Twinkies, but I could be wrong about that. Then you have to let it defrost on the counter before eating it. So right off the bat, this is a miss for me. I don't want to have to think two hours ahead of time "I think I'll have a gf Twinkie like treat today".
Eventually, the cake was ready to try. I'm a huge fan of Katz so it was a bit surprising that this cake didn't taste very good to me. The cake and the creme filling (of which there was very little of) were a total miss for me. Even my husband who enjoys pretty much anything baked, including things I think are super horrid, didn't care for it.
We'll stick to the amazing apple fritters and small apple pie (not the mini pies) from Katz from now on ;)
