History
The history of rolls begins in 1930, when they were created by D. Dewar, who was the head of a large bakery company, Comntinental Baking. Originally, the finished dessert was produced in the form of shortbread cookies filled with cream by hand. Later, the appearance of the rolls was updated and machine methods were actively introduced into production. It became possible to produce large quantities in a shorter time.
More and more new recipes for rolls were created, the main emphasis was placed on flavor variety. Creation of various fillings allowed increasing the range of products to several dozens. Today Twinkie rolls do not lose their popularity, and the variety of flavors will surprise any lover of sweets!
