I bought Twinkies today. Well, I actually bought them yesterday. Four boxes of them. I have NEVER in my life bought Twinkies. I needed them for a really cute sunflower cake to make for Kansas Day. I toyed with the idea (for about 8 seconds) of making petals for the cake out of shortbread made with organic ingredients instead of using Twinkies. It would have tasted better, but, alas, I don't have that kind of time any more.
I made two of these cakes. One for us to have at home, and one for M's Kansas History class. As I was putting the 1, 4, and 8 candles on the top of the cake at M's school, one of the sweet office ladies said to me, "Oh, is it your birthday?" Seriously???
So we celebrated Kansas Day with a sunflower cake. We sang "Home on the Range" in lieu of "Happy Birthday."
My children are no longer Twinkie virgins. If there is anything redeeming about this experience at all, it is that they didn't like the Twinkies all that much.
The things you'll do to celebrate your state's birthday...

I saw the cake in the kitchen at school. Very cool!
Happy 148th birthday to me!!!
I can't pass judgment. Not that I've procured any Twinkies as of late, but I ate a four-pack of Zingers and a Diet Pepsi nearly every day of high school for lunch. You'd have to buy a lot of snack cakes to beat that.
