food IS a theme park
, located in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs and in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney as well as other locations all over the country, has been known to use cupcakes as a vehicle to celebrate lots of occasions, from holidays to pride month to anniversaries. And now the cupcake palace has designed a tasty cupcake to commemorate breast cancer awareness month!

Welcome!
(this park’s Starbucks location) is offering a new Strawberry Cake Pop that we think is smiling at us! It’s really delicious if you’re a strawberry fan!

We’ve seen Dole Whip donuts and Dole Whip with rum recently, but now it’s finally time for a new Dole Whip Cupcake!
Dole Whip Cupcake with Sauce in Pipette
DFB Instagram follower @belleoftheparks found this Dole Whip Cupcake during her stay at Disney World’s All Star Music Resort.
This fun treat comes with sweet sauce in a pipette that you squeeze over the top of the cupcake. @belleoftheparks reports this tastes exactly like a Dole Whip!
Looks like the pipettes might become our next trend at Disney! This is our second pipette finding in the past few weeks — remember those Boozy Beignets at Scat Cats Lounge in Port Orleans French Quarter Resort!
Baton Rouge Beignets with Baileys

Remember the Belle’s Gown Cupcake that arrived at Epcot’s Sunshine Seasons last month? Well, new today in Magic Kingdom, The Little Mermaid — Ariel! — has received a cupcake tribute of her very own at Magic Kingdom’s Main Street Bakery!

Instead of the base (which we’ll get to shortly), we just have to start with those toppings!
You’re ready to jump on the “Millennial Pink” treat bandwagon. We know. That soft pink is kind of irresistible. And thankfully, there’s no need to resist! We gave you the inside scoop about the many pink things that have popped up in Walt Disney World, and today we’re getting up close and personal with two Millennial Pink cupcakes!
We’ll start in one of the best food courts in the World: Landscape of Flavors at Art of Animation Resort!

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 opened last weekend and the cutest member of the Guardians has to be Baby Groot! We just love the little guy, so we were super excited when we spotted a couple of Baby Groot items at Disney’s Hollywood Studios today!
Hooray for Hollywood Studios!
How cute is this Baby Groot Sipper? You’ll find the cup at the popcorn carts at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. He can be yours – filled with your favorite fountain beverage – for just $12.75.

Heeeeeeyyyyy! As all of you know, I just returned to from a fantastic visit to Disneyland for the opening of the 2017 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival! But I also had a blast checking into all of my favorite spots.
Entrance
I made a point to get to one place especially — the new Sprinkles located in the Downtown Disney District in Disneyland Resort!
You guys — I make NO secret about my deep and abiding love for Sprinkles. Well, my love for cupcakes in general goes deep. After all, Disney Cupcakes are some of my favorite things ever.
And there’s something well, magical, frankly, about having Disney and Sprinkles located in the same place.
And now, I can enjoy that Disney Sprinkles fun whether I’m in Walt Disney World or Disneyland!
Close Up of Sign
As I entered the store, a glance at the menu showed me that many of my favorites were available on the day of my visit. This outlet is much smaller than the Disney Springs store, however. [Read more…]
Hey Guys! We are back today with another fun — and timely! — DFB YouTube Video!
So, we were all a little shocked and saddened — although not totally surprised — a few weeks back when we learned that Starring Rolls Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios would be closing. Womp womp.
Oh, Starring Rolls.
This was totally a Word-on-the-Street kinda thing. Disney didn’t make any announcements, and there’s still been no word about whether the closure is temporary or forever. (We’re hearing temporary. But we’ll keep you posted.) [Read more…]
Can you believe it’s already been over three years since the Magic Kingdom’s Main Street Bakery became the first Starbucks location in Disney World?
At the time of the transition from the original Main Street Bakery, it was a pretty major, high-profile change. These days, though, it’s no longer unusual to spot the signature Starbucks green Siren logo around both Disney World AND Disneyland, and guests have become rather accustomed to getting their favorite Frappucino or Pumpkin Spice Latte on their Disney vacation.
As far as food goes, primarily you’ll find similar (if not the exact same) options that you’ll be familiar with if you tend to frequent Starbucks in your hometown — pastries and treats like the popular Iced Lemon Loaf, or small meals like Breakfast Sandwiches.
But you’ll still find a few unique-to-Disney items in the case at Main Street Bakery. The same is true of the other in-park Starbucks locations: Epcot’s Fountain View, Animal Kingdom’s Creature Comforts, and The Trolley Car Cafe in Hollywood Studios.
Today we’re going to look at a mix of both at the Main Street Bakery — one Starbucks item, and two unique-to-Disney items. In fact, we’ll mix it up even further by making one of those Disney items a seasonal offering. After all, ’tis the season for creepies and crawlies…
