DFB Reader Finds

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

Today’s DFB Reader Finds has a cupcake theme, starting with this adorable Tiger Cub Cupcake at Disney’s Animal Kingdom that DFB reader @Pharmad23 spotted! The cupcake is celebrating the 1st birthday of the tiger cubs at Animal Kingdom, but it’s very limited time and may already be gone!

Meanwhile, over at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge DFB reader Gina Golia and her family celebrated their vacation — and the first day of school! — with a PB&J Cupcake!
