Why do we need the pre-filled pastry bags??? I saw the same thing as John did. You get the same size amount of frosting as you do in the plastic container they always sell, BUTTT this so called new product which I say hardly cost that much more to box costs over 1 buck more!?!?!?
I do agree! How hard is to spoon frosting into a ziplock bag then cut off the tip. The star tip can be bought in many craft stores. The ziplock bag tip has been going for many years. Now we need this?
For decorating on the go? Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in the car, wishing I could decorate the chocolate chip muffin I got from the drive-thru…
So Little Debbie is essentially re-branding their Christmas Tree cakes for summer?
Exactly! Little Debbie could repack the cakes for Christmas into a different package and nobody would tell a peep. I think if they want go for the summer theme. Make into logs shape and then crumble some cookies. Logs can be related to summer camping.
Their various cake rolls are already in the shape of a log, more or less, so it would be no problem for Little Debbie to do exactly as you suggest, if they wanted to.
Yeah I thought that was a little lazy on their part. I like the camping theme, especially the animal tracks brownies (which I don’t think have been featured on this site yet.) I just wish they would have been a little more creative with the shape of the cakes.
