Desserts Dusted with Disney Magic
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.

While I’ve made a few changes to the recipe, I’m so excited to share it with you!…

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.…

Merry Christmas! I am so excited to share this special holiday treat with you all! A few weeks ago, my family and I were able to spend a week on the Disney Magic for Thanksgiving. It was wonderful to spend time together and be able to relax in the warmer weather.…
When I first saw Mary Poppins, I fell in love with the music, story, and those adorable dancing penguins. It quickly became one of my favorite movies and as I sang along with every song, I was captured by Mary Poppins’ wit, confidence, charm, and firm but loving nature. After the announcement that there would be a second Mary Poppins film, I felt a bit hesitant.…

Gingerbread is already one of my favorite holiday treats, but there is something so delicious about those Disney gingerbread cookies. They’re thick and soft, and the flavor is the perfect mix of sweet with just a little kick of spice.…
