Twinkies , the treacly junk food you loved as a child ( mostly because your mom defy to let you eat them ) , have been riddled with play in recent years , from the perilous bankruptcy of their parent company , Hostess , in 2012 , to their triumphant return to the market when the brand was acquired a year later . But it ’s fair to say they ’re officially making a rejoinder now , as evidenced by their newly extended shelf animation of 26 days , the most recent deep - fry reincarnation , and these " cakies " : homemade artisanal Twinkies from the kitchen of Jae NYC Eats , which you could get handily deliver to your apartment .
Unlike the original Twinkies , cakies are made refreshing by Janice de Castro , a selling and communication theory director - turned - trendsetting pastry chef base in Queens . What begin out as a joke – her daughter give her a Twinkies bake cast after Hostess declared bankruptcy , as a consolation plunder for the personnel casualty of the classical childhood snack – cursorily gained traction . " finally we tried it out one day , " de Castro recalls . " Our first flavour was chocolate matcha . My girl brought them to school with her , and everyone loved it . "
Jae NYC Eats offer a variety of do - up flavors : maple Francis Bacon rum , jackfruit with Fruity Pebbles , bananas Foster with salted caramel rum ( de Castro ’s personal favorite ) , rose gamboge with macadamia tree testicle , ube , pandan with coconut , and more . " All of our flavors are a culmination of our experience and what we see in the humanity , " she says . " We ’re of Filipino parentage , so some of these ingredients are used in Filipino desserts ; while others like the rosaceous lemon with macadamia tree remind us of quondam Entenmann ’s pastry . "
