Review and Food Photos: Valentine's Day Donuts at Disneyland!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and you just knew the Donut Cart near Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Park was going to get in on the action. They’ve created two stylish donuts that are as delicious (and sweet!) as they are pretty. The Valentine Donut starts out simple enough with a basic yeast donut. But then… things get pink real fast.

Vanilla glaze is speckled with bright pink sugar sprinkles. Then there’s a swirl of frosting (much more on that in a sec!), and a white and pink heart-sharped marshmallow. The marshmallow is coated in white sugar, making it exactly like a certain treat you might peep in the grocery store.

Now back to that swirl of frosting. It’s strawberry cheesecake flavored, and it’s amazing. And not only is it on top of the donut, it’s also the filling in the donut. Eaten alone, the frosting is so good, and combined with the donut, it’s really rich and filling.

But there’s more!

The Mickey Valentine Surprise Donut has a chocolate glaze and cute heart-shaped sprinkles. It’s topped with another sugar-coated marshmallow, this time red sugar on a pink marshmallow.

The filling and frosting swirl on this donut tastes like chocolate pudding and feels like chocolate mousse. So it’s ridiculous. So delicious and smooth.

Both of the donuts taste great when you get a bite of all the components at once, but we found ourselves eating the marshmallows separately, just because it sort of made sense to take them off. But if you want to eat it all at once and get that marshmallow flavor and texture, it totally works.
