In 1919, the world was introduced to what is now known as the Hostess CupCake, marking a significant moment in the history of snack cakes. Six years later, Continental Baking aimed to add a line of cakes to sell alongside their popular Wonder bread, and thus, the Hostess brand was born. The invention of Twinkies in 1930 by Jimmy Dewar proved to be a game-changer, as the sponge cake with creamy filling quickly became Hostess' best-selling snack cake and an American icon, with half a billion produced annually.
In 1995, Interstate Bakeries Corporation acquired Continental Baking Company, making Interstate the largest wholesale baker of fresh delivered bread and cake in the United States. This acquisition led to the company's name change to Hostess Brands, Inc. in 2009, reflecting the beloved brands under its umbrella.
Today, Hostess continues to offer a wide variety of new and classic treats, such as Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, and Donettes, catering to the sweet tooth of consumers. The company's product line includes Sweet Rings, a delicious white cake dusted with powdered sugar, providing a convenient and tasty on-the-go snack option for any time of the day.
Hostess takes pride in its creation of America's favorite baked goods, ensuring that its products are not only incredibly tasty but also trans fat-free. Customers can enjoy a wide range of flavors, including Powdered Sugar, Chocolate Frosted, Glazed, Double Chocolate, Crunch, and the newest addition, Maple Glazed, in both multipack and single-serve formats.
The Hostess brand has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the snack cake industry, captivating generations of Americans with its iconic and beloved treats. From the humble beginnings of the Hostess CupCake to the enduring popularity of Twinkies, the company's commitment to delivering delectable and memorable snacking experiences has solidified its place as a cherished part of the American culinary landscape.
