Drop of Disney

Happy Fall!

Now that we’re in September, it’s starting to feel a bit more like fall. Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons. The weather is cool but not cold, the colors are vibrant, and so many delicious treats come into season. One of my favorite seasonal ingredients is pumpkin, which also remind me of one of my favorite princesses, Cinderella, and her magically transformed carriage.…

One of my favorite treats are chocolate covered strawberries. They’re not as heavy as a typical dessert and I love the combination of fresh strawberry and chocolate. Although I usually think of any kind of chocolate dipped treat as a fancy or elegant dessert, these Mickey and Minnie dipped strawberries are actually very easy to make!…

My favorite time to go to Disney World is in the late fall. Not only are all the parks decorated for the holidays, but it’s usually warm without being super hot. Breaking from routine, I had the opportunity to go to Disney World last March, and while I was super excited, I was a little underprepared for how hot it was.…

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies. I love all of the characters but as a reader, who would often spend hours getting lost in a good book, I felt a kinship to Belle and her desire to find adventure in the great wide somewhere. I was so excited when the Be Our Guest restaurant opened at Disney World because I loved the idea of getting to go inside Beast’s castle.…

I love chocolate. It’s definitely my favorite dessert because it can be used in so many different ways and it tastes delicious! I’ve always wanted to try making my own chocolate candies and when I got this adorable Disney ice cube tray on sale at the Disney Store, I knew it would be perfect.…

The new Christopher Robin movie comes out today and I can’t wait to see it this weekend! I’ve previously mentioned my love of Winnie the Pooh and his Hundred Acre friends and I’m excited to see what how this new story brings them to life. To get ready for the premiere, I made these super cute donuts inspired by Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and (my favorite) Eeyore.…

While visiting Disney World in March, I had my first Dole Whip, which is a little surprising given the number of times I’ve been to a Disney Park. It was sweet, delicious, and refreshing and it made me wonder why I had gone so long without trying one. This recent heat wave had me thinking about that Dole Whip and so I whipped up a batch of Dole Whip inspired cupcakes.…

It feels like summer is flying by. I’ve been lucky enough to have some time to travel and am just getting back from the U.K. While I was there, I was able to have some of my favorite treats, including scones with clotted cream and jam. I just love sitting down to a nice cup of tea and some warm scones.…

Back when Disney announced they were making a new animated movie about Rapunzel, I was immediately excited. I grew up watching the Disney princess movies and had been wanting more. Once I saw it, I loved it. The animation style, the storytelling, the humor, the music, everything! It was exactly what I was looking for and it’s still my favorite recent Disney princess movie. …

It’s been awhile! With the start of summer, things have been busy but I’m excited to share this new recipe with you. I was recently watching an old episode of the Great British Baking Show and I was intrigued by the challenge to make a Battenberg cake. This cake isn’t very common in the US, but I loved the checkerboard pattern and was immediately reminded of the topsy-turvy fun found in Alice in Wonderland.…
