Twinkie Cupcakes

Notes

  • For a thicker filling, add a little more powdered sugar.
  • For a softer, creamier filling, add an extra teaspoon of cream.
  • This filling works great in cupcakes, layer cakes, whoopie pies and homemade Twinkies.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let soften slightly before using.
