Enchanted Castle Cookie Kit...anyone do this?

[minniebeth]

Ok guys, here come the zillion questions, as we are getting down to the wire and really starting to plan....another question by that minniebeth!
Online, I found at the Enchanted Cottage Sweets and Treats in Fantasyland, it offers the Enchanted Castle Cookie Kit for $5.40. It includes castle-shaped cookies, frosting and sprinkles.
Has anyone ever bought this? Do they still offer it?
If so, what kind of cookies are they included, and would anyone happen to have a photo of it?

This would be a treat that my kids would pay out of their allowance for and we try to budget their money so they have an idea of what they are spending ahead of time and would love to know if that would be one of the items they would like to look forward to purchasing. (We give them an "allowance" and fund for them to learn how to manage their budget ahead of time for a little vacation fund of their own.)

Thanks so much!

This sounds so cool! I too would love to know if it is available. Is it something you do there or do you take it home to make?

That sounds delicious!

I haven't done the Castle one, but it sounds identical to the kit we bought over Christmas. It came in a cute festive box, with one cookie, and you could choose a snowman, a X-mas tree, and I think a gingerbread man. Both my girls choose the snowman.

Then it came with 3 different sprinkles and 2 colors of frosting. They had a lot of fun decorating it. And I had fun watching them, but the cookies tasted terrible, to me anyway, just really bland.

Once they were decorated, they only took a few bites and then mom got the honor of carrying these masterpieces around in the backpack. So that's something to think about too, what you'll do with them if they don't eat them all.

I think I paid something like $6 a cookie and I remember telling the girls, "Whatever you do, don't tell Daddy I paid 12 bucks for two cookies!!" Which of course ensured that they did.

Anyway, hope this helps. It was fun, and I'm really glad we did it.
Here are some pics of my girls decorating their cookies so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about.

Did you see it on allears.net on the menu listings? I just checked there and it is listed at the price you mentioned. The menu was updated in January, so hopefully they still have it since it was updated pretty recently.

Yes, that is where I found it!

Mommau4, thanks for the photo! That is adorable! I do think it is more the experience than the treat itself.

Thanks!

We also did the Christmas cookie package at Santa's Reindeer Round-up in Dec 2006. But contrary to another DIS member, I really liked the cookie!! Maybe they've changed since '06. Two of my kids decorated their's there (with Mrs. Claus watching) and the third one brought it home to do later. Compared to some DLR prices, this was well worth it for my kids.
We're going back next week and I will plan on buying these kits (which I didn't know about until I read about them on DISBoards

I liked the taste of the Snowman cookie, too. But it's a never-again experience b/c although the cookie was "safe" the frosting was loaded with corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup, as were the mini M&Ms (just corn syrup), and the half he ate turned my kiddo into a rage-filled dragon for an hour or two (he can't have those things).

So if you've ever suspected that the corn syrup type things aren't food for your kiddo, don't let them eat the frosting.

Sadly I didn't realize there was an ingredient list on the bottom of the box until days after we had decorated the snowman.

(but the other half that I snuck away from DS did taste quite good...don't tell him I didn't throw it away)

I just read this to my DH - result:

About the taste of the cookie, I will say that my kids liked it even though they didn't each much of it. I personally thought it was not that great. Not very flavorful. Maybe I like my cookies sweeter.

Or maybe I'm just weird, because I also don't like those Tigger Tails that everyone RAVES about. So don't go by my taste review.
