NEW YORK – Twinkies are already back on shelves and now the new owners of Drake’s cakes say Coffee Cakes, Devil Dogs, Ring Dings and Yodels will return next month.
A spokesman for McKee Foods Corp. said the company plans to bring back the snack cakes in the third week of September.
The company is still deciding whether to bring back Funny Bones.
McKee, which makes Little Debbie snack cakes, snapped up Drake’s cakes from rival Hostess Brands after the company went out of business last year.
Twinkies, CupCakes and other snacks were purchased by a pair of investment firms, Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co., which owns Pabst beer.
Spokesman Mike Gloekler said McKee is using its own baking plants to make Drake’s but no changes will be made to the cakes.
