TastyKake??
 

For awhile now I have been reading posts regarding Tastykakes. They are evidently a magical food that makes sellers give good deals and buyers spend extra money. Plus, from some of the posts I've read, all it takes to close a deal for some folks is to bring the Tasykakes (or beer, but I digress https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif).

So being the curious type and not having seen Tastykakes lining the shelves of our local CA markets, I just had to find out WTF is a freakin' Tastykakehttps://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif??.

Evidently not only are they a regional East coast delicacy, (particularly prized in the Philly, PA and surrounding areas), the company also offers seasonal variations of their alluring products https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif.

So, here are a couple of websites to understand more about this Right coast delicacy and maybe place an order (I know I am https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif) so you, too, may enjoy this mystical confection:

Cream Filled Buttercream Cupcakes ummmmm I see they have new ones out Chocolate Lovers Cream Filled Cupcakes---- Sam can you send me a few boxes? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: TastyKake??
 

I've never tried any myself but it sounds like we should all have a box of these on hand to sway prospective sellers...sure helps me finally understand why I got beat on a few deals in the past too?!.

I don't think they're available here so is anyone willing to swap for Canadian Bacon or perhaps some of our good Beer?.

Sammy and Benny rarely travel without a sizeable stash of these treats.

And if you ever have the opportunity, have BBBenny tell you about another local treasure; Goods Potato Chips! His description is priceless! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: TastyKake??
 

Although I haven't bought any lately, I grew up on a steady diet of butterscotch krimpets https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif There may indeed be a very direct correlation to this phoenomenon and the way I look as an adult. There was a time when you could only get them in this area but I think distribution is much wider now. I don't know if it is actually the case but the word was at one time, TastyKake delivery guys owned their routes and delivery trucks and did pretty well.

Re: TastyKake??
 

those Tasty Kakes aren't this far East

But neither are those Howdy Doody thingies https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: TastyKake??
 

Darren started that TastyKake thing with some of the other midwesterners following. We were NOT allowed to come into the Chicago area without them. It was our admission to Vettefest and a couple nites out with the boys and it even helped Benny win all the marbles with that stunning 69 BB nova of his at last years Vettefest. I believe with enough TastyKakes you could have Darren's killer lookin L78 camaro or Stefano's dark blue 1970 SS, BB nova. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif Its a Philly thing along with cheesesteaks, scrapple, hoagies and the best soft pretzels on earth. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: TastyKake??
 

I have worked in the tasty cake factory..are you sure you want to eat those things??..after working in there for a few days I have NEVER eaten another one https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

Re: TastyKake??
 

Hey Albert, They tell ya not to eat the ones that fall on the floor! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: TastyKake??
 

I like mine Wit.

Re: TastyKake??
 

Mine is a Wit and Wiz. As far as the Kakes go, it's Cream filled coffee kakes all the way and the chocolate chip bars. Not too mention the eclair pies and the peanut butter Kandy Kakes. I know what it costs to send a whole big box out to AZ! Next day nonetheless. MMMMMM you guys out west and on the CA coast don't know what you are missing. I had to rub it in a little more.... mmmm Tastey Kakes! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif Not too metion Goods Potato Chips(the blue bag) and Grandma Utz's Barbecue and Regular and Snyders of Hanover sourdough pretzels with https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif ofcourse.

Re: TastyKake??
 

Nothing like TastyKakes in your lunch bag almost every day growing up! They are darn good eats. I am also a Pork Roll fanatic. Pork Roll, egg and cheese for breakfast! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Talk about memories!!! My grandma, God Bless her soul, worked at Tastykake for over 30 years...she always showed off her jewelry that she was rewarded from the company for each fifth aniversary.
My family went to her house every Sunday while growing up and my sister and brother and I ran to the fridge to fight over the Tastykakes.
Grandma always had literally dozens of 'rejected' Tastykakes...where the wrappers went on crooked...or the cream went on each cake crooked...hehehe...it did not matter to a 10 year old kid!!!!

I still love the banana creamies...although they are hard to find sometimes!!!

God Bless Tastykake!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: TastyKake??
 

Butterscotch Krimpets & Peanutbutter Kandycakes!! Yum-Yum! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...-I-Have-It.gif

When we first moved to western NC 5 years ago, they had a few
Tastykake verients at the local Walmart. They stopped selling
them about two years ago. My kids were crushed.

Indeed - Tastykakes are a Philly area phenomenon! Much like
cheese steaks and hoagies and Franks soda and soft pretzels and ............. GOD - I miss living there. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: TastyKake??
 

TastyKakes on eBay...lots more there too!..

http://cgi.ebay.com/Tastykake-Cream-Fill...1QQcmdZViewItem


If all we hear about these magical cakes is really true, isn't it simple to see that any of the auction groups could increase their success having TastyKakes on hand?https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif.
Who'd need booze when everyone could be all hopped up on the cakes? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif.

Just think of the possibilities...B-J or R&S sponsored by the Tasty people?.
And how 'bout some new Kreme filled Chocolate Amy Krimpets...yummmmm?https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif

So skip the liquor, have a few cakes & bid knowing you can drive your new wheels home without concerns of a DUI!.

Re: TastyKake??
 

Tasty Kake, Herrs, and Amoroso. Three things anyone outside of the tri state Philly area is definetly missing.

Re: TastyKake??
 

AHHHHH the Amoroso rolls! Just what Darren needs for his cheesesteaks!

Re: TastyKake??
 

Come on guys! Amoroso rolls !! I concede to the more
knowledgeable folks here on COPO and related topics, but
Italian bread. What's-a-matta-you. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Philly is world famous for their "authentic" Italian bread and
rolls. No self respecting cheese steak or hoagie would be
caught dead in an Amoroso roll. Sarcones are probably the
best rolls in all of Philly. Anyone that goes to Philly
knows what I'm referring to here. I can't leave Philly
each week without having at least one cheese steak or hoagie
and let's not forget the soft pretzels... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif

Nuch

Re: TastyKake??
 

Having lived in the Philly area for years, I have become accustomed to many of their different foods. I love a cheesesteak with some cheese fries and have gotten used to the Herr's chips. (Wise are much better) TastyKake's are great - but PLEASE - Amoroso rolls are horrible. After growing up on NY Italian bread, that soft half cooked Amoroso roll just doesn't cut it!

Re: TastyKake??
 

Some of you guys must have some pretty high cholesterol readings after eating those cheesesteaks and hoagies. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
Heart attack on a plate anybody?

Re: TastyKake??
 

Rick, You don't think WE eat that stuff do ya?? Vegatables and Yogurt for us around here. Fat free milk and cereal for breakfast NO scrapple, eggs and homefries served here. I send T-Kakes out to the midwest guys for bribing purposes! Benny sends those hardening of the arteries potato chips to get a good spot at Vettefest!https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: TastyKake??
 

Seems as though Tastykakes where involved with another deal in the classifieds!

One of these days I'll be making a trip to Latrobe and by golly I'm going to load up on Tastykakes (and hoagies and cheesesteaks and scrapple and and cold whole milk!).

Maybe the site should approach the company to be a contributing sponsor. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif They certainly get enough print and the Tastykake logo would look good on a T-shirt. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Since it was a nice day here I decided to pull the car out of storage and go for the first cruise of thre season. Thought you guys might enjoy seeing where your TastyKakes are made. I live just down the road from the factory. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gifNothing better than muscle cars and kakes.

Also, I tried to get a picture in front of the Herrs factory but security chased me away. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif
