:) Super honor roll:

Ginger Cake at Yakatori House - Cake is light and moist, with that surprising ginger flavor. Frosting is mousse-like, with no cloying sweetness.

Carmel Apple Tart at LTT - still a favorite. The cinnamon ice cream makes the dessert! The apple filling and shortbread crust are sweet, but not overpowering.

Mickey Bar - Just love these things! And as I mentioned in another post, the chocolate shell is rain-proof!

Bavarian Cheesecake at Beirgarten - I love light cheesecakes rather than the denser New York style, so this was right up my alley! Perfect after the heavier entrees that were served.

Honor roll:

Lemon Walnut Cake at Tony's - only part of the meal worth talking about, but it was yummy and huge! White cake with thin layers of lemon curd, thin layer of icing dusted with chopped walnuts. Would have been better at room temp, had a little fridge-smell going on.

Bread and Butter pudding at Ragland Road - tasty, and I liked the small pitchers of cream and caramel that you could add to your liking. Unfortunately I dumped them both on before tasty the pudding and then found the whole thing too sweet.

Chocolate croissant at the pastry shop in France - light and flaky with just the right amount of semi-sweet chocolate.

Passing grade:

Dole Whip at MK - the pineapple ice cream is not as creamy as it once was, heading toward the consistency of sherbert.

Chocolate eclair at the pastry shop in France - tasty but the filling was an unexpected chocolate frosting rather than the usual vanilla pudding-type.

Coconut Kiki Tart at Kona Cafe - unimpressive. Plain pie crust filled with a vanilla pudding with just a hint of coconut. Topped with plain whipped cream.

:( Needs to stay after for extra help:

Chocolate cake at Pizzafari - $3.99?? This is sold at a lot of CS places. Frosting is more like a ganache (thick fudge) so the cake is kept cold. Takes the spring out of the cake.

Strawberry parfait at ABC Commisary (sp?) - $3.99?? It's tiny! You'd get more out of eating a 50 cent strawberry yogurt!

Chocolate Mousse at ABC Commisary (sp?) - $3.99?? Again, it's tiny! Pass that yogurt!

And of course I ate a lot of Minnie's character cookies. I love these cookies for some reason. I brought a couple of boxes home, and I think I'll go grab a handful right now!
 
Thank you for the reviews of the desserts! Will you be reviewing any entrees or anything else?
 
Were any of these (non-TS) purchased using snack credits on the DDP or were they OOP? If they were credits, did you have any trouble with the CMs getting them or due to their price? Just curious. :)
 
Love the title and the dessert reviews - I love caramel apple pie so may have to get myself down to LTT next trip :)

Thanks for posting your reviews.

We were not on any dining plan.

I pay $3.99 for a piece of the Ginger cake, but that's because it's so yummy, and it is a perfect sized piece of cake. The others I mentioned are in tiny black containers. Looks like the desserts are shot into the tiny cups from some big processing system or something. Turned me off to them somehow . . .

I may do a review of some of the restaurants after I get my pictures developed (forgive me but I use the good ol' disposable cameras! LOL!). Hopefully I'll figure out how to download some of the pictures. You have to see the size of the beer DH got at Biergarten. Well, actually he ordered two!

But I truly live for the desserts. I request a dessert menu right up front so I can plan the rest of my meal!

As they (?) say, Life's uncertain, eat dessert first! :lmao:
