From Chocolate back to Chocolate in just 13 Steps?

From The POP ART DIVA Baby Boomer Blog

Hostess cupcakes have been a part of my life now for over 50 years. When I was in grade school I would get one every once in a while as a special treat. Back in those days you'd get a two-pack and the frosting was harder because of the less airtight packaging. I liked the harder frosting better.

I also liked the cream better - it had all those ingredients that are bad for you but taste so good - remember? But all in all, even with the "health" upgrade, it's still nice to have a Hostess Cupcake to look forward to after a hard day of creating!

Oh, Diva, that's precious.

I've got to confess, though, that I haven't had a Hostess Cupcake in so long, I've yet to meet the new packaging. I can't imagine soft icing!

Andi said...

Love the list! I'm hungry now, though.

Susan - thanks and it actually happened that way!

Andi - I was inspired by all those good chocolate endorphins!

Auntie Q said...

LoL! Cute. Chocolate is the best!

Love it! I can't remember the last time I had a Hostess Cupcake, either, but I just had a couple of dark Hershey's Kisses so I'm good. ;)

For the record, I was always a Twinkie gal *wink

Yep, I was inspired by being uninspired, and you found zen in a Hostess Cupcake.

HOWEVER before you feel bad, I'd like to point out that you've made me ache to take the kids and buy them (their first!) Hostess cupcakes (I said it'd been a LONG time).

I am confident, however, I will remain blissfully uninspired.

Definite burp :)

Happy TT!
