Twinkie Cupcakes
/
I’ll start by first saying that I don’t really like Twinkies. I will eat almost anything that has sugar in it but Twinkies I will pass.
I also do not usually like things with filling in them…but Twinkie cupcakes are an exception.
How do you make these delicious cupcakes? Easy!
Buy a Yellow Cake mix. Betty Crocker Super Moist. The only way to make a cupcake.
Bake cupcakes according to the instructions on the box. (That's the hard part.)
You may have noticed the balloon liners. We bought them around Christmas. I told Nate they were “Happy Birthday baby Jesus” liners. I believe he told me to stop talking after that. Sadly, the “Happy Birthday baby Jesus” liners are now all gone.
Let cool.
Now it’s time to make the filling:
You can also make this a cake. Just bake the cake in a 9x13 pan and then slice it in half and put the filling in between the two halves.
I took these to work and came home empty handed. I love and hate when that happens…

Now it’s time to make the filling:
- Boil 5 rounded Tbsp flour and 1 cup water until thick, stirring one minute.
- Cool to room temp (or at least until it’s comfortable to touch). This step is very important. Leave it and check out a few blogs…or clean your kitchen. Your choice.
- Add: 1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup solid crisco
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 tsp vanilla - Use mixer and beat until fluffy.
- Use a nifty a cupcake filler tip (got mine in a Wilton cupcake kit) and piping bag. Squeeze filling into the cupcake just until you can tell that the cupcake top will start to tear.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- Enjoy and keep any left-overs (ha!) refrigerated.
