Happy Friday! Today, Disneyland celebrates its 65th anniversary! The first thing that comes to mind when I think about Disneyland, and all of the Disney parks, is the castle. To me, the castle embodies the magic and grandeur of Disney. Disneyland is home to Sleeping Beauty’s castle and so I used that as inspiration to make this magical strawberry lemon fireworks cake.…

Meeko’s Wild Berry Shortcake
Today marks the 25th anniversary of Pocahontas! Pocahontas is one of my favorite movies, if only because it features my absolute favorite character, Meeko. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when Meeko is lounging in the berry bushes, casually snacking on all of the fresh berries. It was that scene that inspired me to make this wild berry shortcake!…

Given today’s date, I knew this week’s treat would have to be Star Wars themed and I couldn’t resist re-creating one of the latest additions to the Star Wars universe in cupcake form.

Jiminy Cricket Cupcakes
Today, Pinocchio is celebrating its 80th anniversary! Pinocchio has always felt like a classic Disney movie to me, maybe because it’s been around for so long. But also because one of it’s characters, Jiminy Cricket has become something of a spokesperson for wishes. From his song When You Wish Upon A Star, to his appearance in the Wishes fireworks show, Jiminy Cricket has become one of the most classic and recognizable icons of Disney wishes and magic.…

Happy Frozen Friday! After so much anticipation, Frozen 2 officially releases today! Frozen isn’t one of my favorite Disney movies, but I am excited to see what the next chapter brings.
Frozen 2 seems less winter focused than the first movie, but I still heavily associate it with winter, especially since Elsa has ice magic.…
