Drop of Disney

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.…

This week, The Little Mermaid, celebrated its 30th anniversary and I’m so excited to join in the celebration with these adorable cake pops!

The things that I remember the most about The Little Mermaid are the bright colors in the animation and the wonderful music. The music in particular has stuck with me throughout my life, especially the song “Part of Your World.”…

The first thing that struck me when watching WALL-E was how beautiful space looked. I’ve always been intrigued by space. Not to the point where I wanted to be an astronaut, but certainly enough that I loved looking up at the stars, studying the planets, and pouring over images sent from different satellites and the space station.…

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve always thought of Valentine’s Day as a celebration of the many different kinds of love, not just romantic. Growing up, I would celebrate with my family and friends, and my mom would always make a special treat. One of my favorites was this chocolate raspberry tart. While I’ve made a few changes to the recipe, I’m so excited to share it with you!…

Happy Lunar New Year! For everyone celebrating around the world, yesterday was filled with wishes of good fortune and celebrations to welcome in the Year of the Pig.

Although I’m not super familiar with all of the traditions associated with Lunar New Year, I wanted to make something to celebrate. After doing some research, I decided on a batch of traditional almond cookies.…

When I was in London last summer, I had this delicious chocolate truffle filled with a rich creamy caramel and sprinkled with shortbread crumbs and small crispy candies. After eating it, I looked at the label on the box and saw that it was called a “Millionaire’s Shortbread Truffle”. I hadn’t heard of a “Millionaire’s Shortbread” before, but based on its truffle form, I knew it must be something delicious.…

Snow White was my first favorite princess. As soon as I saw the movie, I I loved it and would spend hours playing with my figures of Snow White and the dwarfs and wearing the Snow White dress my mom gave me. Not only was Snow White a favorite of mine, but the characters and songs from the movie made their way into my family’s everyday life.…
