The fact they did not acquire the snack cakes portion of the brand begs the question why? Is it a more advantageous to section of the sales of Hostess?
Why would a company buy the bread and not the snack cakes? It seems the powers that be in charge of the Hostess brand understand the enormity of it's future value and potential to boom in earnings.
The bottom line is the snack cakes portion of Hostess, including the iconic twinkie, will be sold separately.
It makes since for the Flowers Food Company to make a bid and may have bought the Wonder and Nature’s Pride brands to position themselves as the favorite to take over the entire Hostess brand and product lineup.
The buyers of the remaining Hostess Company hopefully will be announced in the coming weeks.

I do understand why Wonder Bread would be more attractive than Twinkies, but with all the press and people selling the darned things on eBay — for obscene amounts of money — I'm sure someone will want that set of brands and all of the other "snack-cake" names as well.
Heck, maybe those out of work employees will find new positions with the new buyer. One can only hope.

Brenda, The Hostess products have changed a great deal in both size and quality since I was a kid as well.
