Description
These were a boxed pastry by Drakes I believe. It was a blue and white box with a goose logo. The pastry had a layer of cream and fruit layer, usually strawberry or raspberry. I think they were sold later as Pick-me-ups. Atleast here in New England.

They were called Vashon Flakey Puffs. They actually came in all kinds of flavors and varieties.I had an Uncle who worked for the company,and he would bring us boxes of them.I loved them so much! They don't sell them in the U.S. anymore,although they do sell the Pick me ups,but they're not as good as the Flakey Puffs I remember. My mother took a trip to Canada,and told me that Vashon Flakey puffs are sold there.
I loved Flakey Puffs, and yes they still have them in Canada. Whenever I go up to visit, I will bring back some. They are still yummy!
My kids ages 38 and 35 are still talking about the flaky puffs I wish they would come back. So sad
I grew up in New England. I am now 35 and still wish I could find Flakey Puffs!!! I am also lookng for brown bread in a can....Any othere easterners' know what I am talking about??
To Bonnie Swanson looking for brown bread in a can. It is made by B&M baked beans and it is sold in the canned baked bean section
We found something very similar in Shaws supermarket in Plymouth, Ma. Not exactly the same but a bit smaller and not as much filling.... but real good.................found them in the bread isle.
I MISS THEM...
Denice weir, I grew up in Brockton &I used to buy them for my son, I ate on today but it had no name on it. It came from oces meals on wheels. I am going to ask my friend that gave it to me.
I also LOVED flakey Puffs! Just found something very comparable! They're called "Pastry Puffs" by "Taste 'n Tell" found them at Stop & Shop and Market Basket. Closest thing to the original Flakey Puff!
The brown bread in a can is the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten!
