 27 Twinkies
Supplies:
Cut from 4-inch thick Styrofoam:
One 4-inch diameter round
One 8-inch diameter round
2 cardboard cake rounds, one 7-inch, one 11-inch, each covered with decorative, food-safe aluminum foil.
Prepared fondant
Prepared decorator frosting, butter cream or canned, prepared frosting, tinted as desired
Wrap 27 Twinkies in fondant. To do so, roll fondant to 1/8-inch thickness. Wrap each Twinkie in fondant, lightly brushing edges of fondant with water to seal. Position seam on underneath side of Twinkie and seal ends tightly. For this cake, wrap half of Twinkies in one color of fondant and half in another color so they can be alternated on cakes.
For top layer:
Place a 4-inch diameter round Styrofoam in center of a 7-inch cardboard round. Frost with desired frosting. Arrange 10 fondant-wrapped Twinkies upright around the 4-inch Styrofoam. Top edge of Twinkies should be even with top of frosted Styrofoam.
For bottom layer:
Place an 8-inch diameter round Styrofoam in center of an 11-inch cardboard round. Frost with desired frosting. Arrange 17 fondant-wrapped Twinkies upright around the 8-inch Styrofoam. Again, top edge of Twinkies should be even with top of frosted Styrofoam.
Add a decorative filigree trim on top edges of Twinkies on the bottom layer by piping decorative filigree with frosting or mold fondant in decorative molds and position on top of Twinkies.
Stack top layer on top of bottom layer. Pipe round dots, with decorator tip #6 around edge of cardboard circle. Cut small flowers from fondant with a small cookie cutter and decorate tops of Twinkies. To make centers in flowers, use decorator tip #3 and pipe a small dot in center of each.
To make bow on top of cake, roll fondant to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into ribbons about 1-inch wide. Place a generous dollop of frosting on top of cake, then take a ribbon of fondant and make a loop, sticking ends into frosting to secure. Continue to add loops of fondant ribbon, securing each in frosting, to make a large bow.
