Description
This was a package of two round cakes that you could find in the individually wrapped Hostess baked goods section, and they were delicious. Not sure if they were by Hostess or Dolly Madison, but they were spice cakes kind of shaped like a shortcake cup, and filled with banana cream. Our mom used to serve them to us as an after-school snack. They seemed to have disappeared in the late seventies unfortunately.

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.
