LOOKING for: Banana Flip Snack Cakes!

| Well, this is a rather unusual post, but I thought I'd turn to you for an answer. Do any of you remember these banana flips??? Yellow cake, folded over like a taco and filled with lots of banana cream..they seem to be lost forever, at least in my area and I have been in severe withdrawal for a long time. When I googled it, I did come up with some info, but only one bakery still offering this...Nickles (I think), but you can't order on-line. I even have a friend who owns a grocery store and none of her vendors carry this.
Do any of you know where they could be found, and if they are available in your area, would anybody be willing to ship me some???!!! Yes, I'm nuts and have no idea why I love them so much, as I'm not much of a "store bought pre-packaged, tons of calories snack" sort of person, BUT, I don't care!!! Just wish I had one right now. Hope somebody out there can help. Many thanks.

| This thread got me searching and I found a recipe for a Banana Cream Crock Pot Upside Down cake. It called for Banana Cream Cook & Serve pudding. I went to Giant Eagle, Shop&Save and WalMart and none of them had it. Well,the cake is in the crockpot now with Coconut Cream Cook&Serve pudding. |

| The link for the recipe and the crock pot cake sound wonderful! Many thanks. When my company leaves on Sunday, I plan to make my own banana flips..let me re-phrase that...I will TRY! Will let you know how it turns out! BTW, I'd love that crock pot recipe and hope you'll share it. Donna |

| I've been mourning banana flips for years! Loved those buggers. The first two recipes look great, especially using the cooks recipe to make them into bars. The confectioners sugar might be best, but the directions for the cooks one putting the sugar into the milk to dissolve it might take care of the problem. The recipes are the same for the filling but the allrecipe recipe makes more filling. I think we'd need the more filling one. Smiles. Now I just have to get some banana extract, well and the pudding too. I'm gonna try these for sure. Thanks for starting this search Donna. You may have done a bunch of us a big favor. The crock pot cake looks fine but it's not anything to do with banana flips. Smiles. Donna did you read the poem? LOL.. it was great. Thanks for finding those links MomJ. You too NoDakGal. Thanks. |

| The poem was a hoot..I loved it! Thanks again for the recipes. Looks like the only way we're ever gonna have one, is to make our own! This may be the only food product in history where the store bought is probably better than homemade! LOL! Donna |

| Yes, we have the original Nicles Bakery banana flips here in Pittsburgh. If you really want some, I can pick them up and mail to you for what they cost me, plus the shipping cost. |

| I grew up with these snack cakes and it's true that you can find them in various parts of Pennsylvania from time-to-time, but it seems rare. I've been looking for a recipe as well given I grew up always wanting a banana cake on my birthday until I was introduced to these flips. As for the recipes so far, the filling is definitely not a pudding...it's more like a banana flavored marshmallow fluff filling. |

| Timing is everything, unfortunately mine is bad. I actually tripped across them at Vermont Country Store as the previous post said. But I waited too long and by the time I decided to order some they were sold out. I called to inquire and they said if enough people requested them they would put them in their next catalog. SO CALL and request. They were made to order and looked positively devine! |
