Tastykake
Pennsylvania bakery brand
Tastykake is a brand of packaged snack cakes and baked goods, produced in Philadelphia since 1914.
The name functions as both brand and product reference: I grabbed a Tastykake from the vending machine.
Regional loyalty runs strong in the Mid-Atlantic, where Tastykakes compete with Hostess and Little Debbie.
Common varieties include Butterscotch Krimpets, Kandy Kakes, and cupcakes.
