In 1919, the Hostess CupCake made its debut, marking a pivotal moment in the history of snack cakes. This iconic treat, which has since become synonymous with indulgence, was a precursor to a broader line of confectionaries introduced by Continental Baking Company. Originally conceived to complement their popular Wonder bread, these sweet offerings collectively became known as Hostess, forging a lasting brand identity.
The breakthrough came in 1930 with the creation of Twinkies by Jimmy Dewar, propelling Hostess into the spotlight as these cream-filled delights quickly became a national sensation. Priced at two for a nickel, Twinkies captured the hearts and taste buds of Americans, solidifying their status as a cultural icon. Today, over half a billion Twinkies are produced annually, a testament to their enduring popularity.
In 1995, Interstate Bakeries Corporation acquired Continental Baking Company, thereby becoming the largest wholesale baker of bread and cakes in the United States. This acquisition set the stage for a new chapter, culminating in 2009 with the rebranding of Interstate as Hostess Brands, Inc., reflecting a commitment to its beloved lineup of products.
Fast forward to the present, Hostess continues to innovate, offering a diverse array of both classic favorites and new treats designed to elevate everyday moments into celebrations. From Ding Dongs and Ho Hos to Donettes, each product embodies Hostess' dedication to delivering irresistible snack cake goodness.
