Our story begins in 1919. That€s when the world was introduced to what you now know as the Hostess CupCake. It€s perhaps the first and most significant moment in the history of snack cakes. Just ask your great grandpappy. He was there. Six years later, Continental Baking wanted to add a line of cakes to sell alongside a hot little item they were making called Wonder bread. This new line of sweet treats became known as Hostess. And a brand was born. Continental hit the sponge cake gold mine in 1930 when Jimmy Dewar invented Twinkies. At two for a nickel, popularity skyrocketed and it soon became Hostess€ best-selling snack cake. Twinkies have since become an American icon. Half a billion are made each year. That€s a lot of creme filling!
