food IS a theme park
We totally get that the Monday Blues are a real thing. But, how can today be a bad day when a fan-favorite Sprinkles cupcake has made its official return??
Sprinkles Cupcakes
We’ve recently seen expensive cupcake-themed candy bars make their way to Sprinkles menu, BUT we’re back to business as per usual with a cupcake that’s near and dear to our hearts.
You know what we could really go for right now? CUPCAKES!!! And not just any cupcakes — we’re talking about the special ones only Sprinkles makes — or the ones you can design at home using their special kit!

Not every Sprinkles location may be open right now, BUT if there’s a bakery near you that’s still goin’ strong, they’ll bring their delicious cupcakes right to your door! Why — that’s the next best thing to having the Easter Bunny stop by with a basket of candy!
I was in Walt Disney World recently for a quick visit.
And even though it was a super short visit, mostly due to the opening of the 2016 Epcot Food and Wine Festival, I HAD to head over to Disney Springs. But — and I know you totally saw this coming! — my first stop was Sprinkles!
I’ve made no secret that I’m a HUGE fan of Sprinkles. So it’s only natural that Sprinkles + Disney equals Dream Come True territory for me.
I love all of their treats — Cupcakes, Cookies, Ice Cream, you name it. And who can resist a Cupcake ATM for your After Hours Cupcake neeeeeeeds??
But today, I’m checking out their Seasonal Cupcake Flavors. And if they look good to you, hightail it over to Sprinkles and get ’em before they’re gone!
(Also, I apologize in advance for all the upcoming Sprinkles posts here on DFB.)
Let’s kick off the party with the Lemon Meringue Cupcake.

We’re always looking forward to the newest cupcake creations in Disney World. And even though we JUST shared a new favorite Disney cupcake with you last week, I couldn’t wait to tell you about these, too!
As you know, counter-service locations like ABC Commissary, Starring Rolls, Pizza Planet, and other Disney’s Hollywood Studios restaurants, often feature specialty cupcakes. Here are a few to add to your Disney Snack list on your next trip!
Thanks to twitter friend Kat Rembacki and DFB reader Jessica Plassio for sending us news of this sweet temptation!
This is the perfect confection for those who (like me) love a little sour with their sweet. In this newly debuted Lemon Meringue Cupcake, you’ll find yellow cake and a frothy toasted marshmallow frosting.
Gorgeous cupcake!
The pretty colored chocolate shavings are a nice Springtime touch! But there’s more…!!
And we’re happy to report that the “surprise inside” [Read more…]
For those who haven’t heard about this fun new spot yet, Be Our Guest Restaurant will (soft) open to great fanfare on November 19th in the New Fantasyland at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
Enchanting diners with references to the “Beauty and the Beast” film, a rose motif and French atmosphere will be showcased throughout the restaurant.
Yesterday we reported on the Be Our Guest Restaurant beer and wine menu that will be offered during the dinner meal. The big news here is not that French wine will be uncorked inside the Beast’s Castle, it’s that alcohol will be served for the first time within the Magic Kingdom. Historically, Walt Disney had kept Disneyland a “dry” location with the exception of the private Club 33. The Magic Kingdom had followed this tradition.
But now that we’ve raised our glasses to toast Be Our Guest, it’s time to take a look at the food!
For dinner-time, the meal will be more elegant with table-service, French wine, and seating available in the West Wing and the Ballroom. The Be Our Guest dinner menu adds additional appetizer choices and more gourmet entrees.
For Starters, one of the dinner menu options is Mussels Provencal with White Wine, Tomato, Garlic, Onion, Basil, and Butter.
