Captain Cupcake

Captain Cupcake was the second mascot for Hostess brand baked goods along with Twinkie the Kid. He was portrayed as an anthropomorphic cupcake which wore a navy blue hat and gave the appearance of being the captain of a ship.

Description

At the character's introduction, he was included on boxes and packages of Hostess Cupcakes but is very rarely seen on the cupcake containers anymore. Captain Cupcake appeared in one animated TV commercial for Hostess when he and two children were trapped in a villain's dungeon but were rescued by Twinkie the Kid. He was voiced by Allen Swift.
