History

The history of Hostess Cupcake Day is closely tied to the creation of the cupcakes themselves. These confections first went on sale on May 11, 1919. The manufacturer, Taggart Baking Company, produced the cupcakes until 2013 when the company went bankrupt. The brand was then acquired by the large conglomerate AGM, allowing Hostess products to continue delighting customers with their excellent taste and high quality.

Hostess cupcakes were originally known as chocolate cup cakes. They gained their modern look in the 1950s, thanks to employee D.R. Rice, who helped develop the product. This development included the signature swirls on top and the addition of vanilla cream filling.

All Hostess products are prepared according to original recipes and have maintained high-quality standards for more than 100 years, continuing to delight their loyal customers.
