Subject: remember what I think were Mickey Finn cakes?

Written By: saver on 01/18/05 at 6:35 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

Hammerhead, thanks for the info!! I've been trying to find out about those for years! Do you know what year they stopped making 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.
