I have noticed that too.

Even the ones from my supermarket hold up better.

They don't need to be a day old, just cold.... and that's a matter of
minutes, so they go from hot to not in less than an hour.

So true.

Except for the frosted ones, they seem to have some additional shelf life.

The glazed die on cooling.

I have heard of HomePride, Country Kitchen, Sunbeam, Tastykake and Mrs.
Freshly's but not sure what state I saw these in. Have not seen any Wonder
around since probably I was a kid.

I agree. I don't buy pastry at the supermarket. I either make it myself
or I get it from a bakery.

Nothing quite like a Suzie Q. I'll add this to my list of defunct items,
which includes classic Good n Fruity candy (not the same as today), Hostess
Boston Cream pies, and Orange O's cereal.

Nor me. I don't like foods whose only flavor is overpowering sweet. It
should have something else as the primary flavor, and the sweetness
should be subordinate to that flavor.

You know I love that organic cooking
I always ask for more
And they call me Mr Natural
On down to the health food store
I only eat good sea salt
White sugar don't touch my lips
And my friends is always begging me
To take them on macrobiotic trips
Yes, they are

Oh, but at night I stake out my strong box
That I keep under lock and key
And I take it off to my closet
Where nobody else can see
I open that door so slowly
Take a peek up north and south
Then I pull out a Hostess Twinkie
And I pop it in my mouth

Yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I'm a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me

I can't tell you for sure which Krispy Kreme donuts I had about 20 years
ago when they opened their first outlet up here. They have only three
stores in the province of Ontario, where even small towns like mine,
population 15,000, has three Tim Hortons.

I saw something today that interests me. We don't eat much cake, so I
doubt I'll try it this year - but I saved the recipe.

I think I'd rather try the idea as cream cheese frosting anyway.

I usually don't have a sweet tooth either, but occasionally I like ice
cream. I never buy stuff like cookies or cakes, but a couple of months
ago I bought 2 large dark chocolate Hershey bars. I nibble on a piece
when I get the urge and I still have half of one left. I keep them in
the fridge so they are easier to take tiny bites and savor.

My mom used to buy those when I was a kid, and put them in our school
lunches. Try one frozen. lol She put them in the freezer for safe
keeping (haha) but we'd sneak one eat them frozen. Yum. Good memories.

Isn't Wonder bread Hostess? We had a Hostess outlet here years ago and
that's where mom would buy our sweet treats, but I seem to remember
Wonder bread there, too.

TastyKake (I think) made those butterscotch cakes (krimpets?) that I
just loved. I haven't had one in a loooong time.

They're back in most grocers nationally. Do a search on your zip code at
their website and you may be surprised.

It looks lovely but I am not a fan of frosting. I hate very sweet stuff.

Strawberry tart ("Jordbaerkage") from the supermarkets Bilka or Foetex (both share the same owner, who also owns the shipping firm "Maersk").
