America’s #1 CupCake Brand Also Introduces Unicorn CupCakes

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hostess Iced Lemon CupCakes are now adding a permanent zest to Hostess Brands’ line of beloved snack cakes thanks to the overwhelming popularity of the treat, which was originally available only during the spring season. Featuring yellow cake packed with tart lemon flavor, Hostess Iced Lemon CupCakes are filled with a sweet, citrus flavored crème and are topped with vibrant yellow icing with, of course, the iconic Hostess squiggle.
