This one has graced the bakery case at Intermission Food Court for a little while now, so since it appears to be something of a hit we grabbed it on our recent visit.
Those layers of buttercream you see on the top are not simply for show. The different colors of icing are actually different flavors, too: chocolate on top, vanilla in the middle, and strawberry on the bottom to resemble the classic dessert sundae! [Read more…]

It’s no secret that with Disney’s purchase of the Marvel Universe, the Walt Disney Company was banking on bringing superheroes to its many theme parks. Disneyland in California and Disneyland Paris are getting superhero-themed lands, and Hong Kong Disneyland is getting a Marvel-themed ride.
