Disney World offers many new Halloween snacks as seasonal menus continue to expand. This review focuses on the Spiced Pumpkin Cupcake available at the Contempo Cafe in Disney’s Contemporary Resort. The cupcake features a moist pumpkin cake with cream cheese filling, topped with spiced buttercream and a ghost profiterole. The pumpkin flavor is strong but balanced by the tangy cream cheese filling, though the filling does not extend to the bottom of the cupcake. The spiced buttercream is light and fluffy with vanilla and cinnamon notes, while sprinkles add crunchy texture without flavor. The ghost profiterole has an airy pastry texture similar to a donut hole. This treat is recommended for both children and adults who enjoy pumpkin spice flavors. Disney Food Blog will continue reviewing Halloween snacks for visitors planning their next trip.
