Gold Twinkies
Twinkies never enticed me much, but cover them in gold metallic powder and I'm sold! Kind of. Each gold-covered, espresso or buttercream-filled organic chocolate cake made by baker Sara Magid is $6 a piece at Brooklyn-based boutique Jan and Aya, so it won't completely gouge your wallet to try at least one.
Does gold make the cake taste any better? I'm going to assume that my taste buds wouldn't care—but hey, it's shiny! [via Gothamist and Brooklyn Based]

They look like baked potatoes.
Eating gold can't be good for you, can it? What about those silver balls on cupcakes? But hey, they're organic!

These look good. I like the idea of espresso filling.
I'd buy one. They'd be fun at a party!

Why yes, I think I would like to ingest the gold that no longer backs our currency.

You could wrap a Twinkie in diamonds and rubies and dip it in platinum.
It would still be toxic waste.

@RichardCrystal: I wholeheartedly agree, but if it were a Tastycake Butterscotch Krimpet, it would be heavenly. Actually, a Tastycake anything would be good. Miss 'em. Can't get much good stuff here.
