Anyone else just LOVE funnel cake? America's finest desert
We are having dinner a few nights while we are in epcot and afterwards while we are walking around, we would like to stop and get a dessert. Any suggestions?
This is a high-output Disney eatery, which no doubt means a lot of frozen and processed products go into everything you see and presentation is almost always better than flavor. Napoleons in particular have a very low chance of being really good if they're sitting in a case b/c those thin layers of pastry need to be crisp, and they absolutely won't stay that way in a refrigerated case. That said, it's all in what you're used to of course.
Has anyone gotten the caramel corn recently at Karamel Kulche and if so...was it crunchy or chewy?
The first time I got it...it was warm and the popcorn was crunchy. It was by far the best caramel corn I've ever tasted. Every time since then however the corn has been chewy and it hasn't been nearly as good.
Sorry you didn't like your pastries at Epcot. Thankfully you have better in N. J. Just be glad you don't live in Europe- in our years living there I wasn't often able to find pastries any better than at Epcot.
Not sure how your NJ bakeries handle their cream filled pastries, but I have never seen a recipe for pastry cream that didn't require refrigeration. And I am also pretty sure that a temperature and humidity controlled glass case is better for the puff pastry than sitting out on an open shelf in the heat and humidity of Florida. Something tells me that refrigeration would also be required by the food inspectors. Perhaps you got a bad batch? I've never had a problem with soggy or unflaky pastries. Maybe I've just been fortunate.
I'm not sure if anyone remembers but back in 2004, we had a blueberry pastry at CRT that was so awesome we had to ask for extras. We were there in September, and now they don't have it anymore. French toast pie was great though.
