Drop of Disney

Happy Friday! Today is the start of the Food and Wine Festival at Disney’s California Adventure! I would love to be there in person, but since I’m on the other side of the country, I’m enjoying a taste of the festival at home with these Snickers Mickey Macarons! Just like the ones at Disneyland, these Snickers Mickey Macarons have a chocolate base, milk chocolate coating, and are filled with a fluffy caramel and Snickers pieces!…

Happy Christmas Eve! I can’t believe Christmas is just about here! I’m lucky to be able to see my family this year and one of our favorite things to do for the holidays is make cookies and so I’m excited to share these Poinsettia Mickey Cookies! Inspired by the ones at Disneyland, these vanilla shortbread cookies are topped with a layer of white chocolate, white sparkling sugar, and royal icing poinsettias.…

Happy Friday! Today, Disneyland is re-opening! While I’m not in California, and therefore unable to visit, it’s still exciting to see magic returning to such a special place. To celebrate this special day, I’m excited to share some favorite Disneyland treats! Found in New Orleans Square, these mint juleps are a refreshing blend of lemonade, club soda, and mint.…

Happy Friday! There’s only one week left until Halloween and I’ve been loving seeing all of the special Halloween treats available in the Disney Parks. Since I can’t be in the parks to see them myself, I decided to re-create one of these spooky treats at home. This old favorite is usually available at the Jolly Holiday Bakery in Disneyland.…

Happy Ice Cream Day! Ice cream is one of my favorite treats and I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to celebrate today! Ice cream is a pretty typical dessert in my house as we love trying new flavors. However, I also love a good ice cream bar and there’s nothing quite like a Mickey bar.…

Happy Friday! Today, Disneyland celebrates its 65th anniversary! The first thing that comes to mind when I think about Disneyland, and all of the Disney parks, is the castle. To me, the castle embodies the magic and grandeur of Disney. Disneyland is home to Sleeping Beauty’s castle and so I used that as inspiration to make this magical strawberry lemon fireworks cake.…

Happy Friday! I’ve spent most of the week thinking it’s Friday and since it’s finally here, I’ve made some churros to celebrate! Churros are such a fun and tasty treat. I’ve only had the churros as Disney a handful of times, as I usually try other park treats, and so when the Disney Parks Blog shared their recipe for the Disney Parks Churro Bites, I was super excited to try them again at home!…

Today is World Baking Day and since baking is an activity close to my heart, I’m excited to share these copycat Disneyland M&M Brownies! Just like the ones found at the Grand Californian Hotel, these rich chocolate brownies are topped with chocolate fudge frosting and mini M&Ms!

I spent most of last week craving brownies and these were the perfect chocolate brownie fix!…

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 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!…
