Growing up, my school lunch of choice consisted of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich paired with a side of either pretzels or chips and a piece of fruit. On very special occasions, my mom would pack a Swiss Roll, Twinkie or Little Debbie - my favorite grade school treats. I can still imagine the taste of the chewy oatmeal cookie swirled with vanilla cream on my tongue. As the years passed, I slowly outgrew these little delights, packaged in clear cellophane wrappers; however, when I heard that a bakery in Chelsea had their own take on the Twinkie I had to check it out.
(A wonderful array of 'twinkies')
(Coconut Dream - a yellow cake with coconut custard decorated with marshmallow frosting and the perfect amount of shredded coconut)
(A retro treat, pink snowballs - chocolate cake with coconut custard inside that has been generously bathed in shredded coconut)
(Two amazing treats ready to be eaten)
(A grown-up take on the Twinkie, the Chocodile is yellow cake with cream filling that has been dipped in rich dark chocolate - so moist and irresistible, I wish I had bought two)
(The Brooklyn Blackout Lulu is part Twinkie, part Swiss Roll thanks to the chocolate shelled crunchy coating. It is a dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate pudding nestled inside, which is then dunked in dark chocolate and finished with crumbed chocolate cookies - absolutely divine)
