DFB Reader Finds

If you find a fun new food — or other edible awesomeness — in or about Disney, share a photo with us on facebook or twitter so we can add it to our DFB Reader Finds each Sunday!

We are huge cupcake fans here at DFB and were so excited when Sprinkles opened in Downtown Disney! We just can’t get enough of their delicious cupcakes! DFB reader Keri Moliterno had a chance to enjoy a seasonal cupcake: lemon and wild blueberries with lemon cream cheese frosting. YUM!

One of our must-have snacks at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the Carrot Cake Cookie (now available at Sweet Spells). DFB reader Courtney Embry shared her cookie with us recently (OK…just a photo of the cookie) and declared it “carrot cake happiness.” We agree!
