I was exiting Fresh Starts after a lunch meeting Wednesday afternoon when I bumped into a friend who was enjoying an iced coffee at Sweet Annie's Bakery's outdoor cafe.
"Did you hear they have (cream-filled sponge cakes) now?" Vicki asked me.
I had to check it out. Sure enough, a platter of Twinkie replicas sat on a platter in the display case. While Annie's treat may lack the classic brand name, it's way tastier.
Want to try one? Swing by Sweet Annie's in downtown Flossmoor, 1050 Sterling Ave.
