Drop of Disney

Mother’s Day is just around the corner! To celebrate, I’m excited to share these delicious bear claws inspired by the movie Brave. I first saw Brave at a point in my life where I was creating a life for myself in college but also relying on my parents and so Merida’s struggles to be strong and independent while still respecting her familial responsibilities really resonated with me.…

This week, Disney’s Hollywood Studios celebrated its 30^th Anniversary! While it has undergone a lot of changes over the years, it remains one of my favorite parks (second to Magic Kingdom). When I first visited it, it was Disney’s MGM Studios and the “Earffel Tower” stood high above the park.…

It’s hard to believe that the major Avengers Infinity Saga, a storyline that has pulled together 22 different movies, is coming to an end this week. I hadn’t been super interested in Marvel comics or superheroes growing up (definitely more of a Batman girl), but I went along with my friends when the movies came out and found myself captivated by the different characters and stories.…

Happy Easter! One of my favorite Easter activities is hunting for eggs. When I was growing up, my family planned scavenger hunt style egg hunts where clues were hidden in eggs that led to the Easter basket. We always had so much fun spending the day together looking for eggs and then eating all of the tasty chocolates inside.…

Cheers to Spring! It’s really starting to feel like Spring here–the weather has been warm, the birds are singing, and the flowers are all in bloom. All of the beautiful flowers really make Spring one of my favorite seasons and as I was thinking about this week’s dessert I knew I wanted to make something vibrant and colorful.…

As we enter the season of April showers, I’m reminded of my favorite Hundred Acre Wood character, Eeyore. Gloomy and often followed by a rain cloud, I love Eeyore’s pessimistic and unintentionally humorous takes on situations. Despite my love of snacking and never ending desire for something sweet, I see a lot of myself in Eeyore and so for this week’s dessert I’m excited to share these adorable rainy day Eeyore cupcakes.…

This week brings the release of Disney’s live-action remake of the classic movie Dumbo! Dumbo is definitely a viewed as a classic Disney movie and is beloved by many. I’ve always had a hard time watching this movie, mostly because when I was little I was so heartbroken when Dumbo was separated from his mom that I wasn’t able to fully connect with the rest of the movie.…

Happy Spring! While it’s finally starting to feel like Spring here, Disney has been celebrating the arrival of Spring since early March with the Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT.

I went to the festival for the first time last year and was captivated by all of the colorful flowers, fresh produce, and adorable Disney character topiaries.…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! My family has always celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with corned beef, cabbage, and some kind of Guinness or Bailey’s dessert. To keep with this tradition, I’m excited to share these adorable pots of gold!

These chocolate pots are filled with a fluffy chocolate mousse, topped with golden Bailey’s whipped cream, and decorated with gold foiled chocolate coins, rainbow candy, and a green Mickey candy.…

Happy Mardi Gras! Growing up, my family would always eat pancakes or waffles on Mardi Gras. It was usually one last sugary meal before a season with a smaller amount of sweet treats. While I usually continue this tradition, I was inspired by the Mickey Mouse beignets in Disneyland and decided to change it up a bit this year.…
