Yep. By Hostess. They are "Wonka cakes", promoting the new movie. Well, actually, it's just the top frosting and inner filling that are purple. The cake part is chocolate. Oh, and the curly design on top is orange. They taste a LOT better than they look!
I've been getting them for .99 cents a box, at my local Hostess Thrift bakery. (When I was a kid, we called it the "day old" bakery. ) Yeah, you can tell that the Purple aspect was a big seller...
Some people just think that purple isn't a good color for eating, I guess. (I love Blue frosting, myself. ) But the purple is pretty tasty.

Re: Purple cupcakes?
Mon, January 30, 2006 - 8:24 AMI saw them a while back at Wal-Mart. They definitely look like Burton had a hand in creating them. Or at least an oompa-loompa...
I wonder if they taste any different in Wonka-vision? -

Sun, April 15, 2007 - 11:39 PMI don't trust purple or blue foods.
Unless Wonka himself made it, I don't want any colors in my food that don't occur in nature............................ -
