Drop of Disney

It’s pumpkin season! Pumpkins are one of my favorite things about Fall. I love visiting the pumpkin patch and seeing all of the pumpkins. I love using them for decorations around the house, and I love carving them for Halloween. Of course, Fall also means the return of Pumpkin Mickey! Since I’m not going to the parks anytime soon, I decided to make my own version at home.…

Happy Friday! One of my favorite parts of Fall is that it’s apple season and there is an abundance of fresh apples. With all of the fresh apples about, I couldn’t resist making a batch of caramel apples! Inspired by the Mickey caramel apples at Disney, these pumpkin Mickey caramel apples are layered with caramel and white chocolate and have marshmallow ears and a green fondant stem.…

Happy Friday! It’s been super hot here so it still feels like summer, but since it is September, I think it’s totally appropriate to break out the fall recipes and treats! One of my favorite fall drinks is apple cider. I usually prefer it cold, with a cake donut, but over the past few years, I’ve also started to enjoy it hot.…

Happy Birthday Pluto! Pluto is such fun and lovable character. I’ve always liked watching the Pluto cartoons, whether he’s helping Mickey or facing off against Chip ‘n’ Dale, it’s always a fun time. Since today is Pluto’s 90th Birthday, I’m celebrating with these adorable Pluto cupcakes! These moist yellow cupcakes are topped with salted caramel frosting and fondant ears, and finished with a green ribbon collar.…

Happy Wednesday! Today is National Dog Day and I was inspired by two Disney dogs to make this savory looking treat! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Lady and the Tramp, but one of the main scenes I remember is when Lady and Tramp spend an evening sharing a plate of spaghetti and meatballs.…

Happy Friday! This week I finished the last of the RunDisney Virtual 5Ks. I’ve really liked this series. It’s been fun way to motivate myself to move more and I’m a little sad to see them come to an end. I don’t think I’m anywhere near ready for the more competitive RunDisney races, so I’m looking forward to seeing what next summer’s virtual series will be!…

Happy National S’mores Day! S’mores are the quintessential summer dessert and one of my absolute favorite treats. It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to properly roast a marshmallow and make a campfire s’more but I’ve been making do with microwave s’mores and s’mores inspired treats. To celebrate today, I’m excited to share these giant s’mores cookies inspired by the ones at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.…

It’s National Watermelon Day! Watermelon is one of my favorite fruits. Much to my dismay, we don’t have watermelon in the house right now, and so I couldn’t resist celebrating today with these Mickey Watermelon Cookies! These sweet vanilla sugar cookies are decorated with brightly colored icing to look like watermelon slices, complete with Mickey shaped sprinkle seeds!…

Happy Friday! This month’s RunDisney Virtual 5K was Space Mountain themed. To celebrate completing it, I’m excited to share this Space Mountain Smoothie Bowl! While still technically a smoothie, this smoothie bowl does feel a bit more like a light dessert. Inspired by the darkest reaches of outer space, this Space Mountain smoothie bowl has a deep chocolate almond flavor, an almond moon, and banana stars.…

Happy Ice Cream Day! Ice cream is one of my favorite treats and I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to celebrate today! Ice cream is a pretty typical dessert in my house as we love trying new flavors. However, I also love a good ice cream bar and there’s nothing quite like a Mickey bar.…
