Drop of Disney

It’s National Pretzel Day! One of my favorite Disney park snacks are the big, soft, Mickey pretzels and today I’m excited to share this delicious homemade version! These soft, salty Mickey pretzels are perfect on their own or with some homemade cheese dip!

Pretzels are something I hadn’t really thought about making at home.…

Happy Earth Day! It’s important to protect the planet every day, but right now it feels even more important to celebrate our planet and work to protect it. Since today is Earth Day’s 50th anniversary, I’m celebrating with these super fun Mickey Earth Day cookies! Inspired by the Earth, these blue and green sugar cookies are topped with a red M&M Mickey.…

Happy Easter! Our Easter celebration is a bit lower key this year, but we’re still adding a bit of Disney magic with these Mickey shaped bunny butt and Easter egg rice krispies! Inspired by the spring treats found in the parks, these fun rice krispies are a super easy way to brighten up your Easter or spring-time celebrations!…

Today A Goofy Movie celebrates its 25th anniversary! One of my favorite parts of A Goofy Movie (besides Goofy and Max) is Powerline. It’s been years since I actually watched the movie, but I often find myself randomly singing I2I–it’s such a catchy song! So, to celebrate, I made these super fun Powerline inspired cupcakes!…

Happy April Fool’s Day! With everything going on in the world right now, it sometimes feels hard to be silly and upbeat, but I do think it’s important to take a moment and do something that makes you feel happy. Since April Fool’s Day is all about tricks and jokes, I’m taking to a moment today to watch some cartoons with my favorite jokesters, Chip & Dale.…

Much to the dismay of my cat, it’s National Puppy Day and we’re celebrating with a treat inspired by some of my favorite Disney puppies–the 101 Dalmatians! These soft and chewy peanut butter puppy paw print cookies are a quick, easy, and satisfying treat!

I’ve found there are two main peanut butter cookie camps.…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Today I’m wearing green and celebrating with these spiked shamrock cupcakes! Given our Irish heritage, my family has always celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. When we lived in Chicago, we’d go to the parade and watch as the City dyed the river green. A lot of the large celebrations around the country have been cancelled this year, but these fun cupcakes are a great way to celebrate at home!…

Happy Pi(e) Day! I don’t usually celebrate Pi Day but things have been a bit crazy with all of the news this week and the temporary closure of all of the Disney parks and Pi Day felt like a fun excuse for a bit of Mickey magic (and, of course, pie).…

Today Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway opens in Hollywood Studios! While I miss the Great Movie Ride, I’m excited that Mickey & Minnie finally get their own ride! To celebrate the opening, I made this chocolate orange cookie train! Decorated with orange royal icing, it’s the perfect centerpiece to celebrate Mickey & Minnie’s new ride!…

Happy Mardi Gras! Today we’re celebrating with this delicious cinnamon king cake! This yeasted cake is filled with cinnamon sugar and topped with a sweet icing and colorful sugar.

Growing up, I took French classes in school and one of the parents would bring in a king cake every year on Mardi Gras.…
