Dining in Disneyland columnist Heather Sievers reports on some serious deliciousness from Disneyland!

The mini cupcake sampler from Marceline’s Confectionery has been on my radar for months. As a regular visitor to Marceline’s in Downtown Disney, I’ve been eyeing it the past several trips. The problem: we’re usually on our way to dinner or to the parks, and a box of cupcakes is not something I’m interested in carrying around.

Cupcake Shopping at Marceline's in Downtown Disney

So, a few visits ago, I decided I’d pick it up on our way home and do my “research” in the privacy of my own kitchen. I mean, it probably would have looked a little bizarre cutting each cupcake in half, photographing them and then passing them all around to my family of test tasters to get opinions…

On this particular day, they were also preparing the cupcakes in Marceline’s candy kitchen viewing area, so I got to see them being put [Read more…]

Disney World Valentine’s Day Treats

By AJ 1 Comment

Last week, we highlighted a few of Disneyland’s Valentine’s Day treats, and today we’ve got a few from Disney World! I found these at the Main Street Confectionery in the Magic Kingdom.

I loved these cupcakes, complete with heart-shaped sprinkles, frosting “petals,” and frosting roses!

Review: The Pink, Blue, and White Cupcakes

By AJ 10 Comments

OK — you guys remember when I wondered “aloud” about the “Pink, Blue, and White cupcakes” in Disney Parks, right? I see them all the time — everywhere — but I’ve never tried them. Why? Because they look like they’re made out of plastic and can’t possibly taste good. But I promised I’d try them, so here’s the review…

As it happens, Disney was switching it up on my visit to the Studios in October! They had a swirly cupcake! I knew it was of the same ilk as the Pink, Blue, and White cupcakes, so I figured you guys would forgive me if I got that one instead. This way, I could have both blue AND red lips!

At first glance, the cupcake looks amazing, right? Huge swirls of frosting (and you know how much I LOVE frosting — cake is definitely an afterthought around here!) and pretty, eye-catching colors. But I have to say it — it still looks a little [Read more…]

Disney Cupcake Clothing!

By Erin 14 Comments

On a recent trip to Walt Disney World, I made the obligatory stop or four at the Main Street Confectionery and noticed a new marshmallowy candy shaped like a cupcake and decorated with Mickey-shaped sprinkles. Interesting, but I didn’t didn’t buy one because frankly, they looked a little spongy to me.

The next day, while shopping at Mouse Gear in Epcot, I noticed what seemed to be the same cupcake, but depicted as an illustration on a wide range of children’s clothing.

Season’s Eatings: A Holiday Treats Taste Test

By AJ 5 Comments

On my last trip to Walt Disney World, I stole a few precious moments on my own at the Magic Kingdom.

Now, when most people find themselves solo at the MK, they might hit up a ride they haven’t been on in a while or maybe do some shopping at the Emporium. Me? I eat. This time, it was seasonal treats that I’d never tried before: Pumpkin Fudge and a Holiday Cupcake!

Holiday Cupcake Taste Test
The Main Street Bakery had a couple of holiday cupcakes to choose from, but I couldn’t resist this wreath-themed one! Why? No idea. Probably because I just KNEW it would turn my teeth green…which it did.

I was excited to try this one! Unfortunately, while the taste was good (moist cake, good frosting) the frosting to [Read more…]
