Starring Rolls cupcakes are really good - they are huge with so much topping! I wasn't too keen on the Babycakes NYC ones in DTD - I didn't really like the frosting. I had the vanilla cupcake, so would be keen to try other ones.
i love the rich devil's food cake one at the Polynesian resort at Captain Cooks. It's so devine. -and not sickening sweet. it has mickey sprinkles too!
Animal Kingdom - There's a coffee shop in Africa (can't think of name). They have a really good chocolate cupcake/vanilla icing w/coconut shavings, with a white choc. elephant on top. It's big enough to share. YUM!
Last year, this kind of cupcake was at Sussigkeiten in Germany, Main Street Confectionery in the Magic Kingdom, Seashore Sweets on the Boardwalk, and Goofy's Candy Company. Frankly, they didn't taste as good as they looked.
Here are the ones at the Boardwalk Bakery:
I didn't have my camera with me at Starring Rolls at DHS. (My room wasn't ready yet, and I accidentally left my camera in my suitcase at Bell Services.) I tried the Butterfinger Cupcake, and I didn't like it. The topping was so hard, I couldnt cut it with a knife. The cake part was a dark chocolate, and I didn't care for it. There was a marshmallow filling inside.
I hear they have some cupcakes at Animal Kingdom, but I didn't see any. I'll have to look harder next time.
We had some awesome cupcakes at the Boardwalk Bakery. They were enormous! DS was 3 years old at the time we had these and he could hardly get it in his mouth because it was so big.
You can stop looking! The best cupcake is the vanilla cupcake at Roaring Fork in WL. You will see other cupcakes that look the same at other resorts but there is no comparison. I had one 3 days in a row (on a 3 day trip) last August.
I like my cupcakes to be vanilla and cloyingly sweet, so my favorite is the vanilla-caramel cupcake from Karamell-Küche. I'm not sure I can recommend that sincerely, though. My taste in cupcakes (or mountains of frosting, really) rarely aligns with the tastes of others.
