Favorite Food Friday – Griddled Maple Pound Cake
Our Favorite Food This Week: Griddled Maple Pound Cake
Location: Epcot, Flower and Garden Festival, Northern Bloom Booth
Price: $4.50 DDP Snack Eligible
Welcome to this week’s Favorite Food Friday where we share our favorite foods with our friends. Sticking with our cake theme from last week, this week we tried the Griddled Maple Pound Cake which is available at the Northern Bloom Booth just outside Canada at Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival. Yes, that is caramel corn on the plate and it was the perfect complement to this dish. The description of the cake is Griddled Maple Pound Cake Served with Warm Peach Compote and Sweet Corn Gelato. The compote (fruit preserved or cooked in syrup) did have some pieces of peach in it, but the overarching flavor comes from the sweet corn gelato. If you like kettle corn, sweet corn, or caramel corn you will enjoy this dish.

Favorite Food Friday – Banana Maple Cake
Our Favorite Food This Week: Banana Maple Cake
Location: Flame Tree Barbecue, Animal Kingdom
Price: $4.99
Welcome to this week’s Favorite Food Friday where we share our favorite foods with our friends. When you think of Flame Tree BBQ at the Animal Kingdom, I know you think of the amazing BBQ and the sweet sauce with a great view of Everest, but have you tried any of their desserts? On our last trip we spotted this and had to give it a try. It’s the Banana Maple Cake – multilayered Vanilla Chiffon Cake with Banana Maple Mousse topped with White Chocolate Glaze and a crunchy Meringue. The cake was super moist and had a great banana taste, but we didn’t get much of a maple flavor. Yes I just had to keep eating it just in case there was maple that I was missing. If you like banana be sure to give this a try on your next trip.
