Spring has sprung in Disney World! The EPCOT Flower and Garden festival is happening NOW and we’ve already spent some serious time sampling ALL the food booths at the festival.
Beach Club Marketplace
Now, Easter and spring snacks are arriving all over Disney World — and we’re ready to indulge in things with Peeps on them and things shaped like bunny butts. Now, two new treats that don’t fall into those categories have arrived at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, so let’s head on over there and try them out.
These new treats can be found at Beach Club Marketplace. The first is the Carrot Cake Cupcake with Cream Cheese Buttercream, Chocolate Cookie Crumbs, and Spring Sprinkles for $5.99. We’ll start this review by stating that we think many of Disney World’s cupcakes are basic. Well, this is NOT a basic cupcake. It’s a nice, light, and moist carrot cake with no weird things in it (like raisons or big shavings of carrots). It’s nicely spiced, too.

Of course, the BEST part of carrot cake is that cream cheese frosting and the frosting inside this cupcake is DELICIOUS. The frosting on top is a standard buttercream, though. We will recommend grabbing a fork as this can get a little messy — the green frosting will probably stain your fingers and teeth.
That filling is EVERYTHING
You can also pick up the Painted Egg Whoopie Pie, made with Cinnamon Sponge Cake with Maple Buttercream Filling topped with Pastel Chocolate and Springtime Sprinkles for $5.29. This one ALSO surprised us. We thought this would be plain and bland, but it’s got a delicious vanilla bean flavor, both in the cake and filling. The texture is nice and springy, too.

However, those sprinkles are going to fall off so you’ll just have to deal with that when you try to eat it. It might seem like it would be super sugary, but it’s not — it’s lighter than the cupcake. It’s also a pretty good size, so it’s potentially shareable.
It’s HUGE
So if you happen to find yourself over in the area, be sure to grab one of these new snacks if you’re craving a fun spring treat. And stay tuned to DFB for more reviews.
