I just wanted to send a warm and very appreciative thank you to Joyce for coming all the way from Tallahassee to put on this weekend's workshop, and to DJ for opening her studio and home up for the workshop. I know Candy and I not only learned a lot this weekend, but came away with a slew of questions and things to review at our next lesson with Shawn. (All I can say is, it's a good thing Shawn is as patient as she is.)
I can't say thank you enough for the warm hospitality and the great instruction! I really appreciate it!

I am so glad to hear that everyone is having a good time and learning too! And the twinkies were WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for making them for us!
Small confession, I don't like store bought twinkies, and was worried what the homemade ones wold taste like, but they were FABULOUS! SO good I might be tempted to try to make them, and I DO NOT COOK! -

Re: Thank you Joyce and thank you DJ!
Wed, February 13, 2008 - 4:33 PMThat's ok - I don't like store bought twinkies either. And as much as I like to bake from scratch, I looove box cakes with pudding in the mix. (more gooey, tastes better) Here's the recipe for the twinkie filling. Just a thought - if you don't have a twinkie pan, you can always make cup cakes, fill/frost them, and call them "Hostess Cakes". (I really enjoy being an enabler.)
Twinkie Filling:
2 teaspoons very hot water
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups marshmallow crème (7 oz. Jar)
½ cup vegetable shortening (Crisco)
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions:
1. Combine the salt with the water in a small bowl and stir until salt is dissolved.
2. Combine the marshmallow crème, shortening, powdered sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl and mix with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy.
3. Combine the salt solution to the filling mixture. Makes 1 ½ cups.
