THIS.. IS NOT A TWINKIE. A YELLOW CUPCAKE, MAYBE, BUT NOT A TWINKIE. LET'S CALL IT WHAT IT IS.Reply

You should post a picture of the actual cake, which is not cupcakes in the recipe. I'll never understand why people submit pictures that don't match their recipes.4Reply

The FILLING recipe needs to be reviewed and corrected. Raw uncooked flour is never used in a frosting/icing. Perhaps there was a typo?5Reply
