I made this with the supreme strawberyy topping from this site and it was awesome. I followed others' advice and used twice the amount of twinkies without cutting them in half.

The filling and glaze are delicious. However, the filling did not set up and when I topped the filling with the strawberry glaze, it sunk into the filling. I realized it was soft and had refrigerated the filling for 3 hours but it still did not set up. The use of Twinkies is a novel idea!

WOW. This will now be my official go-to dessert recipe for picnics and potlucks. I took the advice of other reviewers and used the Supreme Strawberry Topping recipe instead of the store bought glaze. I also could not find Twinkies at the store, so I used the Strawberry Cake Rolls instead. I found 15 rolls (whole, not cut in half) fit perfectly in a 9x13 pan and was a perfect match for the amount of filling/glaze on top. The entire pan was GONE in 10 minutes and I had people hunting me down all day asking for the recipe.

This dessert tasted delicious and was a hit at my friend's house! The only thing was that it was really hard to serve b/c the twinkie crust was so thin so it looked a little more like pudding when I served it. I would suggest either doing two layers or letting it sit in the fridge for long time to set. I do agree with using less of the whipped topping too. When I made it I put the strawberry glaze on top and then sliced strawberries and put them on top so it looked really nice!

I think this recipe has too much of the fake sugary taste. It's a bit overloaded w/sweetness. Yes, it's quick and easy but, in my opinion, there are yummier trifle like recipes out there.

Very delicious and so easy! I substituted a yellow cake mix for the twinkies and layered it in my trifle bowl! I made my strawberry glaze myself b/c I hate that gel-like stuff in the store. Good Recipe!

This was pretty good. It is best to eat the first day. As per other reviews it gets runny and mushy after that.

Delicious! Grocery store didn't have twinkies, so I substitued Sarah Lee pound cake- really yummy. Also, totally agree with using the Supreme Strawberry Topping recipe. This dessert didn't last long around my house!

I replaced the twinkies with a yellow cake mix baked in a sheet pan,then after it cooled,I split it in half using dental floss, and layered the whipped topping mix,glaze and strawberries and then repeated with the other layer of cake and toppings. I had to use 2 small packages of glaze because that is all that was available at my local grocery.I use the bottom of plastic sheet cake carrier to put the cake in since I was traveling with it. Put the cake together the day you are serving it. My family loved it and ask for it every time I am bring food to family gathering.

This recipe is great!! Its one of my husband's favorite desserts! For the strawberry topping, instead of the glaze, I let a pound of strawberries with sugar on them sit in the fridge for a few hours. Then I blended them and added the rest of the strawberries to that. Came out great. Also, listening to others advice, I added more twinkies and didnt cut them in half. Thanks for the great recipe!!

FABULOUS!!! I was really prepared to think this was gross, but it was wonderful. I am normally a "from scratch" kind of girl, but I loved this. It tastes just like a strawberry shortcake sheet cake. DEFINITELY make the strawberry supreme topping and forego the glaze; can't imagine it without the topping, and it's easy. I also used 10 Twinkies and a smaller rectangular dish. Next time I may do it trifle style with 2 layers. Awesome.

A little too sweet for our taste, but twinkies did a good job of soaking up the liquid, best day it was made, next day was starting to get runny and too mushy.

I have made this several times and each time it was wonderful. The last two times I made a double recipe and layered it in a large lead crystal bowl. Not only was it beautiful it was a huge success. My 91 year old mother wanted it for her "Birthday Cake". Wonderful recipe...the only problem there are no leftovers to munch on!!!

Great, but way too thin with just one layer of twinkies! I used 20 twinkies and the double decker works perfect with the the amount of topping specified in the original recipe. I also used the perfect strawberry topping recipe and think it is a much tastier option!. Ummm ummm good!

I made this for a co-workers birthday instead of the usual cake. Everyone loved it. She only shared with our department and took the rest home. For a quick no bake dessert this is a keeper. Too easy!!

This went over big at a 4th of July BBQ. I did modify slightly. I used a trifle dish and the amount of cream cheese filling was just right. I did have to use 12 Twinkies though. The biggest change I made was to use Supreme Strawberry Topping, from this site, in place of ready made strawberry glaze. I took one look at the ingredients in that stuff and just could not bring myself to buy it. Besides Supreme Strawberry Topping is to die for and very easy to make. I also added a few blueberries for that red, white and blue look. The end result was great to look at and even better to eat. Just make sure you give it enough time to set in the fridge before serving.
