Subject: remember what I think were Mickey Finn cakes?
Written By: saver on 01/18/05 at 7:35 pm
Anyone who grew up in the 60s may remember something I thought were called Mickey Finn cakes on the east coast.
They were like twinkies only taco shaped with the creme on the inside like beef would be on a taco...I think they also made Banana Finn's with banana flavored creme as well!

Yes I remember Mickey cakes from the 1960s when I lived in Ohio. ;D  We used to get the chocolate saucer shape and the banana flips and coconut covered snow balls  white and pink.  All kinds of cakes. :)  Mom used to get 12 for $1.00 at the day old bakery.  I sure miss those days.

Is this the company that made those sweetcakes called Banana Dreams? My aunt really loved Banana Dreams and she cant remember who made them. I asked in the 70's forum, but no one remembers them.

Merita Bakery or one of the divisions of the other divisions of American Bakeries made them

I am a participant in the world's largest trivia contest, held annually in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. The contest began at 6:00 pm Central and goes til midnight Sunday, here's a weblink www.momsfamilies.com/trivia. One of the challenges we face is identifying images provided by the contest organizers. One of the images is of a "cartoon" boy whom some have suggested is off of a Mickey Cakes package. I would like to e-mail this image to someone who could help us identify this character. Please drop me an e-mail at cagey63@yahoo.com if you think that you can help. Your help is appreciated.
