It involved twinkies. Specifically, using twinkies as a modeling clay and sculpting with it. I was horrified and fascinated. I took one of
the the instruction sheets, because I will do this. I will sculpt something using only twinkies as the "clay".Here are the instructions. If you were the person who came up with this idea, please contact me so I can give you proper credit for this.
Twinkies Project
Goal: To sculpt "anything" from 4 packages of TWINKIES
Things you'll need
4 packages of Twinkies - that's 8 cakes total
1 knife
plastic or latex gloves
Step 1: Open 4 pkgs of Twinkies.
Step 2: With a knife, slice off and save the base of each Twinkie.
Note the base is a different color and will provide a contrasting color for whatever you choose to sculpt.
Step 3: Mash all the base pieces together with your hands (this is a great time to put on those gloves) and include as much of the white cream filling that may be stuck to the bases. We will be using every part of the twinkie for this project. Continue kneeding until you have achieved a uniform color and consistency. Set aside in a ball. The stickiness will go away eventually and you will have what resembles "play dough".
Step 4: Do the same with the rest of the bars. This may take a while...persevere.
Step 5: Think of something to SCULPT! Sleeping animal...Christmas tree ornament...pretty much whatever!
Once you've finished sculpting, place on a firm surface to dry. Your finished product will harden and keep FOREVER! It will never rot or mold, but it will always have a bit of that "Twinkie" smell.
If you complete this project one rainy day, please send me a picture so I can post it here.

I think I just might do this project. Hmm, whatever will I sculpt?

I've got it! I think I'll sculpt a giant Twinkie! ;)
Oh, great. Now I'm craving Twinkies. I'm an advertiser's wet dream ::lol::. Let me know when you're ready to do this, Steph...I'm dying to see it in action!
You got it! I am currently on the lookout for an appropriate cocktail to serve while mashing the twinkies into a molding clay. I did see that it was taking a while and I feel that a gentle drink with a mildly numbing property will be in order. A winter equivalent of a mint julep, perhaps?
