A new limited-time citrus variation on the OG grocery store\/gas station\/convenience store cupcake that you know and love! It\u2019s an iced lemon flavored cake with a creamy filling. <\/p>\n

When you read the box, you may think that \u201ciced lemon\u201d is a flavor. But, I think it means it\u2019s an iced cake that is lemon-flavored. Note that this \u201ciced\u201d designation is different from the \u201cfrosted\u201d designation on the other flavors. <\/p>\n

These perfectly machine-formed cupcakes, with their cute lil\u2019 Charlie Brown hair squiggle, are delicious. In my opinion, lemon-flavored foods are difficult to get right because it\u2019s really easy to lean into cleaning product territory. <\/p>\n
But, Hostess got it right! The flavor reminded me of the way lemonade is – not too tart with a fair amount of sweetness. The sugary filling also helped to temper the lemon flavor, so there was no puckering here! <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The texture was as good as expected: nice and – trigger warning: I\u2019m going to use the word because it\u2019s fitting – moist. I enjoyed the textural bite of the iced topping with the soft cake and the luscious filling. <\/p>\n

This is by far superior to Hostess\u2019 Iced Lemon Cake, which tasted a bit bitter as if straight lemon zest was used. It also left a weird aftertaste. Plus, the more artificial yellow color wasn\u2019t as pleasing to the eye, but to be fair – the cupcake itself looked interchangeable with a vanilla cupcake. Despite having the taste of lemon through and through, only the topping has a lovely pastel yellow hue. <\/p>\n
Lemon is the new spring LTO flavor du jour, and Hostess nailed it with its Iced Lemon CupCakes! <\/p>\n
