These were horrible! I spent an entire morning on them and they were heavy and tasted like a Crisco bomb. The filling was so dense the bag broke twice. I don't know how this got off the drawing board. Im a good cook and a foodie. I followed the recipe to the letter. Just nasty.

PERFECT! Seriously if you think this recipe is not exactly like a store bought Twinkie then you have made it wrong. Mine turned out so soft and spongey and delicious just like a Twinkie should be. This recipe makes a real Hostess Twinkie. Amazing!!!! I have some store bought twinkies at home and after making these my kids and I compared them and we could barely tell the difference. I love this recipe. I make it all the time now. The Kids get twinkies everyday for school. I also made a choc chip version.

These are excellent! Note: if you are using a Wilton Twinkie pan, bake for 12 1/2 min. Baking for 30 min turns out very dry. And I found that if you whip the egg whites too long, also adds to dryness. Have made these a number of times and everyone loves them!

It wasn't the light cake like that of a Twinkie. Sorry guys but this just didn't do it for me.

This recipe was very easy to follow, quick to make. The filling was exceptionally good. The only two problems I encountered were my fault. I used store brand pound cake mix, the next time I will use store brand. Also, when trying to pipe in the filling, I used too small a tip and the bag split, as it was too thick. However, those were "user error" incidents and didn't take away from the enjoyment. Excellent.

This recipe is TERRIBLE, Wilber! How could someone mislead so many Twinkies' fun. I toke my time and gave careful attention to get the recipe exactly as instructions indicate. Turned out very hard and tasted like a dang fortune cookie stuffed with shortening. Filling tasted mainly like a glob of shortening. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME, MONEY, AND DIRTY KITCHEN TO CLEAN IN GRIEF. I fell for it because Good Morning America endorsed it. They're so full of it. That's my gossip about them.

These were so good! The first day they were yummy but the second day....WOW! They softened up even more and were just like the real thing. I also made them as mini muffins and cooked them for 20 min. They were the perfect bite size snack!

With Twinkies now off the market, I'm surprised there aren't more recent reviews for this recipe. I bought an official Twinkie pan off of Ebay. I used this recipe and was disappointed. I would not make this again using the cake portion of the recipe (it's good but it's nothing like a Twinkie). I'm actually surprised at the many positive reviews saying it taste like a Twinkie. The cream filling is similar to real Twinkies, however, the cake is not at all like a real Twinkie.
