New Polka Dotted Disney Kate Spade Collection Just In Time For Spring

Polka Dotted Disney Kate Spade Collection

New Polka Dotted Disney Kate Spade Collection Just In Time For Spring

Back in January we took a little sneak peek at the new Polka Dotted Disney x Kate Spade Collection. On April 26, this stunning new collection will be arriving to Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts. The Spring Collection will be exclusive to the Disney Parks and Resorts, and not sold at regular Kate Spade retail locations.

The satchels, totes, and wallets as you can see, feature an all-over print that mixes polka dots and Mickey ear hats! As a fan of “EARS” I’m already little obsessed with this new Disney assortment from Kate Spade.

Red and pink accents contrast beautifully for the handles, trims, and zippers for the bags as well. These bags capture the iconic whimsy of Kate Spade that has a high end look, with the beauty and playfulness of Disney designs.

Each style features sleek designs and classic shapes that come in both pink, or black colorways. The tote is the perfect size for carrying all your essentials and more!

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe Has A Pretty New Dessert

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe Has A Pretty New Dessert

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe has a pretty new spring time dessert. The bakery, known for many delicious options and some pretty fantastic pastries has a new specialty cupcake. While this treat is classified as a specialty cupcake based on its creamy appearance it is very easy to describe it as a stacked up cheesecake.

The four layers in pastel colors of lilac, light blue, creamy yellow and bright pink sit on a crust and are lemon flavored. The layers are even more vibrant and beautiful inside. With a mousse-like texture, the light lemon flavor tastes light and fresh. Whipped cream, sprinkles, and adorable candy-coated chocolate egg candies decorate the top.  The best way to describe the taste of this cupcake is refreshing.  It is ultimately the perfect dessert for spring or summer, especially when watching Illuminations: Reflections of Earth for that one last time.

Kringla Bakery Og Kafe is a great option for a light meal or a snack any time of day. With plenty of pastries on the menu as well as sandwiches this quick service location in the Norway Pavillion is a favorite stop for many. This is also where you will find the famous custard filled, coconut dipped sweet roll known as School Bread or the Troll Horn filled with cloudberry jam. Lighter selections such as fruit or muffins are also available as well as a full beverage menu.

Priced at $5.99 or a snack credit this cupcake is big enough to share or enjoy on your own. Kringla Bakery Og Kafe rarely disappoints and this cupcake is no exception.
