CupCakes - The Captain of Them All
Call it a cupcake caper: mystery surrounds who "invented" the original Hostess Cup Cake in 1919, although it was baking executive D.R. "Doc" Rice, who, in 1950 added the signature seven squiggles and vanilla-crème filling - a move that created the best selling snack cake in history.
As the vintage slogan said, "You get a big delight in every bite." Florida resident Suzanne Rutland clearly agrees. She's reportedly eaten more than 50,000 Hostess Cup Cakes, as many as four per day since her early childhood when she founded a Hostess Cup Cake Club. "Creamy" was the secret password.
"We all have things that we love and can't live without," she said. "Some people need their coffee each morning. I need my Hostess Cup Cakes!"
While it's hard to improve on perfection, consumers have been able to sink their teeth into a few twists on the original over the years, including the popular Golden Cup Cakes, which debuted in 1999.
