There was an awesome vegan bakery in Ohio called Bombshell Bake Shop. They made some of the best cookies I’ve ever had, but my favorite of all their creations is the Fruit Punch Vinkie, a fruity, vegan version of a certain oblong snack cake you all know and love. In honor of Bombshell Bake Shop, here’s my version – the Winkie.
First, you need a pan. You can either buy a canoe pan (this one comes with a neat frosting syringe that makes filling your cakes easy,) or you can make your own Twinkie pans with foil.
For the cakes you’ll need:
- 1 batch DIY Vanilla Cake Mix, prepared
- 1 pouch Tropical Punch Kool Aid
Follow the recipe below for step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 1/4 cup vegan margarine
- 1 & 3/4 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 2-3 Tbs soy milk
- 1 & 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp coconut flavor
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease canoe pans or prepare homemade pans as described in lnk above.
- Prepare cake batter as described in link above. Stir Kool Aid into cake batter and scoop ¼ cup of batter into each cavity of the prepared pan.
- Bake 18-20 minutes, until the tops of the cakes spring back with lightly touched. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn cakes out onto a cooling rack and cool completely. While the cakes cool, make the filling.
- Beat together shortening and margarine until well combined. Add the sugar, and beat for 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons soy milk, vanilla and coconut flavoring and beat until fluffy - about 5 minutes. If the filling consistency is too thick, add another tablespoon of soy milk.
- If your canoe pan cake with a syringe, just load it up with your filling and inject each cake three times - inject on the flat side, which is the bottom. Otherwise, attach a pastry tip with a narrow end into a plastic baggie or pastry bag, fill the bag with icing and use the tip to inject the icing into each cake.

The twinkies looke awesome I’ve always hated the filling I am going to have to try this. Also I was on thrashers site the other day and saw the bake and destroy video, and I was curious as to if they would say anything to you, that’s a bummer… If you have any more shirts lying around your house (old logo) I’d glady buy it off you, I always wanted to buy a few more just never got around to doing it 🙂
Unfortunately, even if I had any lying around (which I don’t) I wouldn’t be allowed to sell them. I do have a few of my personal shirts and hoodies that may find their way into an online garage sale soon, though. 😉
This is great, thanks for sharing this.
I know a few people that would love to get some of these! Saving this
