OH! MY! GOSH! I loved those, they were soooo delicious and now i can't find them anywhere just like you can hardly find Banana flavored ice cream. There used to be a banana nut ice cream which i guess is discontinued i really wished i knew where to find the banana cream boat pies. :(

If anyone who is logged on knows where i can find the banana dream boats on line please leave it on this site...

I remember Mickey's Banana Flips, but not these. I know Hostess puts out a banana creme Twinkie a couple of times a year and they're great!

Banana Dreams the Spice cakes that were shaped like Strawberry Shortcake cups, and filled with Banana Cream were California produced by the Langendorf Bakery. These were around in the 1970's thru the mid 80's. Langendorf Bakery went out of business in the mid 80's, and most of their product line bought by another bakery, although the Banana Dream was not continued on. These are totally different than the NASTY Banana Flips.

OMG!! These were my favorite!! I remember in the 70's they cost about .25cents..i did a search on the langendorf bakery and found this site. if anyone knows of how to get a hold of these please leave it on here..thanks

My brother and I loved those Banana Dream Boats. We were just talking about them about a month ago. I just went on line to see if the Bakery was still in business. That Banana Dreamboat was taste better than any Hostess, Dolly Madison or Entemen could ever taste.

My husband did not believe me! He had never heard of them! We used to get them from the Hostess outlet store in Milpitas,Ca 10/$1.00 LOVED them. Now I make Banana bars with real cream cheese. Yes they were like banana shortcake cups with banana cream that was kind of yellow with specs.

I thought I was the only one to remember these! I loved them to death, I kept thinking they were made by Mickey's. I remember eating them in the early 80's....ahhh the good ol' days.....

Nope, nobody was losing their minds, these really existed. I grew up as a small kid in Redwood City, California where I used to purchase these mostly at Vera Cash Market in early 1970's. I wish they would be brought back to market. What amazes me is that you'd think someone would have a picture of at least the wrapper from way back then. I sure miss these!!

man o man, a banana dream was the best snack ever! i remember as a child eating those. its been a long time, and just the thought of 1 puts a big smile on my face.

wow i cant believe these were real ive heard my mom tell me about them they were her favorite after school treat i just wish i could try one ive researched them for quite sometime where theres a will theres a way im going to contact the bakery owner for the recipe somehow

Yes I also am trying to find these delicious cakes we used to put them in the freezer and then cut them in half and share when we were kids. They were the best snack cake ever made please somebody find them or a recipe!!!

These were called "Banana Dreams" and were made either by Langendorf Bakery or Dolly Madison which was a competitor of Hostess. They actually made them until the 1980's and they were excellenlt.

I totally remember "Banana Dreams" they were by Mickey's. They were 2 round, brown cakes, much like the shape of a shortcake, topped w/ pale yellow banana cream. God they were delicious. I just saw a truck on the 15 Freeway last week that had Mickey's Snacks and the same boy w/ a big smile just like the "Banana Dreams" wrapper. I'm searching non-stop to find them. I will keep all of you posted.

The Banana Dreams by Langendorf/Mickey are long gone, My Dad used to drive for Langendorf Cakes-Cookies, they were bought out by Dolly Madison who quickly did away with most of the good cakes the Langendorf baked, Dolly was subsequently bough by Hostess, no specialty baked goods remain, just Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Zingers...that truck you saw on the 15 was probably a Merita (Langendorf in the South) trailer, beigh with red and blue stripes, the Merita label in a red oval, and a sad rendition of "Mickey" right?

I don't know if they still sell them, but Lucky's Supermarket bakery on the west coast sold banana dreamboats...GIVE IT A TRY!!!!!! DELICIOUS1

I used to get those cakes as a teen in the 70's...they were the absolute best snack /snackcakes ever, why they did away with the recipe in favor of twinkies, ding dongs etc., I will never understand, Banana Dreamboats tasted MUCH better ,what, with those moist tender spice cakes filled with that smooth creamy banana filling, once you had one, you were hooked and I'm not even a fan of banana flavor....SO,how do we petition the new owners to start baking this obviously popular vintage treat once again? OK so it may just be a snack item, but if you ever had one you'd know why it was so popular :P

Hostess now has miniature versions of these (from the way they're described) in boxes, but in carrot cake/cheese cream, yellow cake/vanilla and another flavor, I think, but not banana. All they would have to do is come out with a spice cake/banana creme version, and that would basically be a rsurrection of it.

My mistake, these are Entenmann's "little Bites" I was referring to.

WOW I WAS JUST THINKING OF THESE THE OTHER DAY. I COULDNT REMEMBER THE NAME AND AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB. WAS ABLE TO RELIVE SOME TASTY MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD. YES AND I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember these too!! They were the best, use to lick out the cream filling before eating the cake. I lived in San Francisco as a kid and thought they were only sold in that area cause when I moved to Southern California I couldn't find them. What a shame. Sure would be great if someone could recreate them. Banana Boats by Mickey.

these cakes were my favorite and then they disappeared. Much better than what hostess made since they changed all of their cream fillings into something nasty tasting, sure wish some bakery could bring these great cakes back!

god YEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! i am ALWAYS trying to find someone who remembers these, the BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!! ugh....why oh why can't we finally come up with a time machine? i would go back to the 70's and buy a bunch and munch down while watching sigmund and the sea monster on tv.

I saw them as recently as 5 or 10 years ago.Don't remeber where.

Yes, as a Bay Area Native I remember those brown spice cakes filled with a generous amount of yellow banana cream with flecks of walnuts in them. WOW ! delicious and yummy, Langendorf and and later Dolly Madison made these. The Mickey ones were counterfeits. I would love the recipe for the banana cream. The spice cakes tasted like Jiffy cake mix only oilier. WOW what a great memory.

If anyone find a recipe or a product similar, let me know. I'm doing a project on the 70's for school.

i remember these.yes they were great..i grew up in the oc.ca..i tell my kids about them.they dont know good taste...everything was better back then.i have looked and looked..i so want to have one again...why oh why if it isnt broke..leave it alone..if anyone finds a recipe plz plz email me.woud love to make them..my mother in the midwest has been checking thrift bakerys everywhere no luck..banana dreams were my favorite growing up...life was simpler then ...

Hmmm, I work in a bakery. I'm sure we do a spice cake, the 'Strawberry Shortcake cups' we call Dessert Cups (we also do chocolate ones), just need a banana creme. And we ship to all of North America.

every now and then when my sweet tooth starts to act up i think about a dream boat i remember looking at the snack cakes and i would always choose a dreamboat over the hostess cupcakes or the zingers and i remember a time when they were becoming harder and harder to find until there were no more and i was born in 1970 and was eating them in the 6th grade i think that was the last time i ever ate one.i miss them so much

I remember having Banana Dreams for lunch in elementary school. We always called them "doggie dishes" because of the shape. Of course we would lick the filling out before eating the spice cake.

I remember buying them in Los Angeles in the late 60s to early 70s then I never saw them again. I have to say they were the best out there. Like others have said, once you had one you would choose it over any other cupcake out there. I'm not a banana lover but these were the best.

They were the best... I still remember them and how moist the cupcake was and how tasty the banana cream in the center... so good!

my sister and i were just this minute talking about these Banana Dreams pie/Cakes. the conversation started when i noticed she had a loaf of Langendorf bread. "i'll find them on the internet." wow now we're really sad.

Banana Dream were the best!! They used to be all I bought. You would think with all the people that love them some company would make them. Instead of putting a twist to the stuff out there bring them back and make money DUHHH!

I was privileged to have eaten to different variations of these cupcakes. One variation was from Dolly Madison and the other was a local bakery named Langingdorf bakery! Both were excellent! I wasn't into sweets when I was a kid,hard to figure, but that was my favorite desert snack! I wish they could make them again!

I am trying to find information on my favorite banana creme snack cake. I know of the spice cake banana dreams, but here in the Seattle-Tacoma area, when I was a kid in the 70s, my favorite treat (especially for school trips) was a rectangular-shaped yellow sponge cake with a banana creme layer in the middle. I can't remember the name or brand. Any info?

I do so remember Langendorff bakery. My favorites were those tiny frosted chocolate doughnuts in the miniature cardboard window box. They were under the Mickey Cakes line. I remember the Mickey Cakes logo as being a cartoonish illustration of a boy with a happy expression on his face. I sure loved those tiny chocolate doughnuts, they were tastier than the Hostess versions produced today. Also what comes to mind are the Langendorff delivery vans. The vans were late fifties/early sixties era Ford P series step vans. Langendorff used those vans well until the 1980's. Well, times change.... a few things change for the better and way too many things for the worse:(

I came here to this sight hoping to get a clue of what was in them, nobody I know seems to remember them,these were my favorite. I would collect pop bottles and turn them in.They were kind of messy the wrapper stuck to the creamy filling. bonus wrapper lick.and a coke in bottle for a 35 cents,then turn the bottle in for a dime.

My late dad worked at the Betlehem Steel plnt in Vernon and when he came home from work he always brought me a package of Banana Dreams that he got from the catering truck at work. Boy those where happy memories and i do miss them so!

^OOps i meant to say PLANT not Pint!

Okay people, you're not going to believe this. I've got my Banana Dream back! I've gone gluten free and forced to make just about everything myself. Why not a Banana Dream from my past, I thought. And I've done it. The spice cake part is really good but I'm still working on perfecting it. I don't know what kind of market there would be for it or when I can legally sell it. If I ever follow through with it, I'll post again here.

I know where they sell them in LA

These snack cakes made the perfect breakfast when I was in high school and had to catch the bus. I'm so glad to see that there are still many of us Banana Dreams fans out there. To anyone trying to resurrect them, good luck and keep us posted.

Does anyone remember Langendorfs French Fondants? I get so hungry for those

omg, I thought I was the only one who missed these. They were moist and looked like brown banana bread cups, delicious, delicious, yummy.@ steve, where in Los Angeles I am going there on Nov. 30-Gardenia..

I'm glad to see I am not the only person who remembers the lovely Banana Dreamboats. My Mother wouldn't buy us kids this kind of stuff. She wanted us to eat apples and oranges. :) I would walk downtown a couple of times a week to get a Banana Dreamboat. They were so good! That was when I started loving spice cake in general. I am pretty sure they used an artifical banana flavor, but what ever it is was, it must have been a high quality flavoring because I didn't even like bananas much. I'm not sure what compelled me to try one in the first place.

Banana Dream Boats were my favorite. I bet they could be slightly duplicated with spice cake and banana pudding! Unless you grew up in the 70's most people don't remember these treats !

Oh I so remember these Banana Dream Boats! Ok, I remember it being a round cake folded over to like of look like a taco with banana cream filling inside. These were my FAVORITE specialty snack growing up in the early 70's. I would lick the cream out of the center... ahhh. I can taste it now. :) Wish they still had them.

Hearing all your comments about Banana Dreams is making me drool. I grew up on those and would like to share them with my kids. They were the best and better than anything out there today. I'm still hoping they will show up somewhere.

My mother use to talk about these all the time. Then one day, we actually came across them in a gas station in South Carolina in the late 90's. They were the best.

They were two spice cakes filled with a yellow flavored banana creme. They were absolutely delicious. I liked them cold the best...They were sold by Dolly Madison. I would like to see some company bring them back.

OK, Mickey/Langendorf was bought by IBC (Dolly Madison), which then merged with Hostess, and is now being picked up by the owners of Pabst (Metropoulos & Co), which "has a stellar record of using the nostalgic pull of old brands to make them popular once more". So this company would inherit the rights to Banana Dreams. So everyone start writing them, to bring it back. The way everyone talks about this thing, they just might be persuaded to bring it back!

I dream about these things.... used to buy them at Laurel's Market in Chico, CA when I was a kid. Nice trip down memory lane.

Mickey cakes were knock offs! The original was called Banana Dreams. Best snack cake EVER!

We got these in wash state but they were only at little mom and pop type stores. I still get cravings for them often. Best tasting dessert ever.

My grandfather used to work for Langendorf bread company he used to bring us home some of the best bread and cakes

Ah yes these banana cakes were sometime in the refrigerator section. I am all for bringing them back. YUM!!!

My husband drove truck in Seattle for 30 years and would stop at Langendorf bakery on 6th Avenue and pick up bread and also the Banana Dreams. He loved those in his lunch and I am with you, I wish they would bring them back but only exactly as they used to be.

Yeahhh, those dreamboats were 2nd to the boom- boom. It was my absolute favorite, now all I have is a ding-dong.

Unfortunately the Banana Dreams from our late 1960's' early 1970's are no longer around, ANYWHERE. These were not made by Hostess or Dolly Madison, but rather Langendorf Bakeries. Not the Banana Boat, or the Banana Flips that are currently sold in stores. Once you have seen the Original Banana Dreams, you will never forget. Two Spice Cake Cups (Just like Strawberry Shortcake cups), only brown in color. They were of course open face, so that you could see the cream through the clear packaging. The cream was yellow in color, with sort of brown spreckles, and was a mild banana flavor. These were the BEST snacks in the early 70's and a favorite of ALL the kids who went to school in Redwood City, Ca. Even though Langendorf is no longer around, I wish someone could bring these great snacks back to market.

"Banana Flips"

I wish I could find some now I think I could eat three packages they were the best hands down.

How about the chocolate pies that were chocolate cake with white icing in the middle. Like a gob but flatter. I loved those.

I think people are mentioning two different things. Mickey's Banana Dreamboats and Langendorf's Banana Dreams. I remember the latter. They were soooooo good! I remember removing the wrapping so carefully so as not to pull of the top of the cream filling. but of course, whatever did stick to the wrapping, I promptly licked off!! lol! they were good!

Those were my absolute favorites...little spice cakes with banana cream in the middle...I would love to have some now!! Couldn't remember who made them but Langendorf sounds familiar...I grew up in Oakland Ca. If anyone knows if they are still being made...let me know

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! I remember these man they were the best. I was speaking with my Co-Workers today, about them. We searched for them on Google. I too was like a kid in a candy shop, they were excited to see the joy on my face when I spoke the Bananna Dream Boats. All I kept saying was Lord Have Mercy, If could only taste them once more!!! So glad I found this site. I will be revisiting for an update.

Bring back banana dream boats please, they were the best

After school in the early 80's, they were on the shelf at 7/11. I do remember the ones folded like tacos, but the Banana Dreams were definitely in the round cups with the cream stuck to the wrapper. So addictive...be our luck it had MSG. Still would like to see them return.

http://snackanooga.com/bananadream.html Check out this link. It's DM's version called Banana Dream. Banana Boat was definitely the round cakes.

Wondered If anyone here could help me..My high school sweetheart and I,were absolutely hooked on a pastry treat available in convenience stores only,called ''Cream Boat'',Kreme Boat'' OR ''Creme Boat"..It was a Single wrapped pastry,filled with very sweet,White icing..tasted identical to Angel icing found in popular donuts shops..It was NOT shaped like a Twinkie...Still very close to my old girlfriend..We would be indebted with any information...Thanks,Bob

We were just talking about Lagendorf's products and I found this link when googling it. Anyway, my favorite Lagendorf product was the chocolate fudge pies!! Dark chocolate fudge on the inside... haven't found one nearly as good since.

Believe it or not I've seen them! Recently I might at a liquor store somewhere in downright Los Angeles ..should of got them, I loved them as a child now I remem whic store

I remeber Grandma going to the Hostess outlet and bringing us 10 grandchildren boxes of snacks that were on clearance. My absolute FAVORITE was the SPICED APPLE or RAISIN cake. They were dense and sweet. I have not seen them anywhere for decades. Anyone seen anything close to them????

I very much remember the whipped cream banana filling in the (I believe) Date-cakes snapped like desert cups. Drool....same for me, I cannot find any one near me that remembers them either.

You people seem passionate about these. OK, think hard....Remember in top was a little sprinkle of something to give the cream a little bit of "crunchiness"? It was oh, so subtle. Yum! These were iften my breakfast when I stopped in 7-11 while alking to school in the early 70s. Merced and Sunset in West Covina, California. Best snack food breakfast

every person here needs to send these comment to hostess. Because life is short and I am tired of just Dreaming about Banana Dreams!!!!

I sent this comment to Hostess Cakes: Hello, If your company's aim is profit then I would suggest perhaps you listen to your customer base. I no longer by any products from Hostess simply because Hostess no longer make a product I want to eat. Please read the comments people have left on the following site link. I can guarantee you there are many more sites like this one. So PLEASE will you find the recipe for Banana Dreams (DO NOT ALTER) and start making them again. Life is too short to just dream about "Banana Dreams". Respectfully, Sherri Lee Bryant http://www.inthe70s.com/food/bananadreamboats0.shtml

you ARE SOOOO RIGHT 5 MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY REMEMBER THESE AND WE JUST LOVED THEM. pLEEEESE BRING THEM BACK

I loved these. As a child I used to get them in a warehouse next to the flea market in Napa, CA I didn't know what they were called, but can remember what they tasted like and then smell. I used to love dipping my finger in the banana filling. Wow still remember them and wish I could eat one now! SO DELICIOUS!!

All the comments I've read mention eating Banana Dreams in the 70's. My first recollection of eating these yummy snacks was in kindergarten on a field trip in 1962. My mom packed ihe snack with my bag lunch for the trip. I lived in Oakland, CA at the time. My sister and I remember well. And they were delicious. They seemed to have disappeared in the 80's. Wish we had them again.

Ooh I also agree it was mid 60-s when I fell in luv with these!

Everyone is talking about Banana Dreams but I was asking about the Hostess Spice Cakes that we used to stop in the store after school and buy these little cakes they were a brown colored cake with white icing on top this was doing the 60's and 70's they brought everything else back why not these cakes

Shelley, I don't know anyone else that remembers my favorite childhood snack cake. The moist spice cake with raisins and just the perfect amount of frosting. Not too sweet, and from a child's mind, seemed somehow adult and exotic. I remember it disappeared for a while and then found it again but that wasn't to last. Haven't tasted anything quite the same since the early 70s. Thank you for returning to me my long lost love.

I loved this spiced cake with a banana cream filling. I liked them cold. They were called Banana Dreams and was originally made by Langendorf before they sold the company. I really, really, really miss them. So many good things are just a memory.

I remember the Langendorf banana Dreamboats from the 70s to 80s, then they seemed to have disappeared after that. One of our local market chains use to sell them. Our mother would let me and my brother pick out one kind of cupcake, while my brother usually went for something chocolate I chose the Dreamboats. So good!

IT'S BEEN AWILE SINCE I POSTED. ANYONE CAME UP WITH A RECIPE I CAN MAKE .THAT MIGHT BE CLOSE TO THE ORGINLAL RECIPE

I remember my dad coming home from work with 3 packages of Banana Dreams a couple of times a week for my brother, sister and I. We lived in Santa Clara Ca on Coffin Rd. He bought them at the Edelweiss Dairy right down the Street from us. They were. Delicious!!!

Folks, I have posted on this thread starting back in August of 2008. Banana Dreams were the store bought snack cakes, 2-per pkg, the cake was dark brown in color, and the cream was a yellowish tint,with brown. Yes the cream would stick to the clear package wrapping, but we kids would lick the package clean prior to throwing away. These snacks were kids favorite at home and take to school snacks in the early 70's, throughout the 80's. Unfortunately I have been searching for pictures of packaging since before 2008 without success. Somebody, somewhere has to have taken an old polaroid picture capturing these in the background. Maybe one day a picture will be found and posted to the internet. But these snack cakes were the absolute BEST.

I have been searching for the banana dreams recipe everywhere. So tasty. I rember reading the wrapper and there were dates and raisins and maybe tamarind in the cake and real bananas in the cream. Exceptionally exotic for a snack cake. Has anyone figured out how to hack the recipe?

They were the BEST!! yes, 2 spice cakes w/ a light yellow filling and a sprinkle of something brown on it, maybe brown sugar or spice? Anyway I'm sure they were too expensive to make compared to what they sell today. Someone posted some recipes once, I tried to make it but it wasn't even close!!

I absolutely remember the banana dreams, my mom would send us to the store to get them, I mention them to my in-laws and even my husband and they never heard of them, everyone I know from my days in Orange co california remember them, anyways they were so yummy, I wish some company would make them again

That was my go to comfort food. I want it back so bad I can taste it!!!

Those were so good! My mom's favorite! I would love to find them again. Does anyone know if they are available anywhere?

Hey Jody Dandridge, I have one pic of the Langendorf /Mickey Banana Dreams from American Bakeries Company (parent company of Langendorf, Mickey, Taystee, Cookbook and Merita) 1967 annual report. I need a way to pair to show everyone, thoughts?

I'm still waiting for a recipe close to my banana dream boat Does anyone have one

I grew up in Seaside California and in the 60’s and 70’s these were my absolute favorite, but by the 80’s they were not to be found

They were my favorite snack cake. Looked for them everywhere.You could get them at the Langendorf outlet store in San Diego in the 60's. Anytime I went into a convenience store, I looked for them. They were the best on long drives or road trips. If you never had one you probably dont understand. That flavors left a banana spice aftertaste. Suprisingly they were not overly sweet but just "YUMMY"

wow i cant believe there are so many people who remember the banana dream boats ! My mother got me hooked on them when i was a kid in the 70s ! I was taking bout them to a coworker and described them as a strawberry short cake with banana filling , but couldnt remember the name till now and shocked i even found this site after 30min of searching for them delicious cakes brings back many good memories of my mom who passed in 1994

Those were the best snack cakes ever! My absolute favorite and I still think of them often to this day. So glad I found this conversation!

We loved Banana Dreams. Little shortcake style spice cakes with banana cream on them. So good! What’s really weird is you cannot find a photo of them. How crazy is that!!?

I used to love these banana dream boats as a child I'm going to try and find a recipe for these although they shouldn't be that hard to make a spice cake banana flavored whipped cream with coconut flakes or crushed nuts on top

Barbara Whistman, as of today (08/22/20) I am just now seeing your November 27, 2018 comment. I wish this site had a way of alerting us users of ALL updates so that we'd automatically come visit this site. I am very eager to see the pic you found of Banana Dreams from the 70's. I have sent messages to 3 Barbara Whistman's I have found on facebook, with the hopes that one of them might be you, as who knows how long or when you might stumble back to this site to view comments.

Oh Wow I can’t believe this site! When I was little I rode my bike to the Supervalue store in anticipation of the banana dreamboats. When they were sold out boy was it disappointing. If anyone comes up with a recipe for this decadent treat please share it.

I thought I was the only person who remembered these dreamboats! My siblings don’t even remember them, I was beginning to think I might be “remembering” something that didn’t actually exist! So excited that all of you also do! How I WISH they brought them back!

Oh wow, from time to time I think about all the food and candy that no longer exist and certainly the Banana Dream Cakes were at the top of my list. I lived in Oakland, California and was in the 8th grade when I remembered buying them last. I loved that cup cake and used to eat that with the strawberry and vanilla ice cream cup with the wooden stick. Whatever bakery made them were truely on to something very delicious and obviously memorable for so many of us. I wish they would bring them back eith the original recipe.

I used to love these banana dreams. It's so funny that nobody I know remembers these. I'm so glad to find this site. I thought I was making them up in my head.

Banana dreams spice cake shaped like a strawberry shortcake with a banana whipped cream. It came in a pkg of 2. I so want the recipe

Banana Dreams were the best. The cream filling had toasted coconut shreds which gave it that mocha color. And the cake cup was so moist, have a napkin handy.

I knew they existed! I was beginning to think I was experiencing the Mandela Effect...I remember them as Banana Dreams. They were my go-to over everything if the store had them. Ahh, the 70's.

I loved them. I am surprised no other company bought the recipe. I was searching for them and found this page. Can someone start the "Bring back back THe Banana Dream/Banana Dream Boat/Banana Twin Cake Petition/Post

These were my favorite snack when I was in high school in Santa Maria CA. Nobody I talk to knows what I'm talking about. I'm so sad to find out nobody makes them anymore. But darn they were amazing!!
