I have always adored Ding Dongs and it was a mournful time last year, when bankruptcy forced Hostess to shut down operations. (Honestly I rarely ate them but it was distressing to think I would never have another.)
This year, for Mother's Day, I invited the extended family to gather at the house and desired food and decor that would be simple to prepare yet attractive. For dessert I chose Cocoa Creme Cakes by Little Debbie, the best alternative to Ding Dongs that was available at the market. A single rosette of pink icing was piped on the top of each cake and all were stacked in a pleasing arrangement on a round serving plate. A pretty vintage tablecloth, a hurricane candle wreathed with delicate pink flowers, and coordinating cards and gift wrap completed the feminine look. The moms in attendance, and all the other guests too, loved the charming presentation (and the "Ding Dongs"!)
PS: After mediation, Hostess products returned to the shelves in July, 2013 - hurrah!
