Homemade Strawberry Twinkie Sandwiches

I never in a million years thought I would be tired of making and serving cupcakes or pies...but it is high time for something new and fresh to serve at celebrations. What do YOU think?

In needing to stay up realllly late to pick up Laurissa from her trip I needed to occupy myself and use up some leftover strawberry buttercream...soooo, this is what I came up with {THANKS JULIE for the chocolate version!}. My hubby is taking them to work tomorrow. That is if all the kids don't get into them tonight. AND not to worry...no frilly pink bows either!
