Places with really unique kids desserts?

[tmarquez]

I remember a place inside the Contemporary used to have a cool kids dessert that they could "paint". DD would have loved that!

What other restaurants have cool kids desserts? Any pictures?

Thanks!

Several of the signature restaurants have a puzzle paint your own dessert -- Flying Fish Cafe, Artist Point, and I think some others. Garden Grill serves ice cream with 2 oreo cookies to look like mickey ears. California Grill has a kids dessert that looks like sushi made out of rice krispie treats, gummy worms or fish, etc...

I forgot about the Kona Kone (see Post #6 later...).

And 50s Prime Time Cafe has their dessert menu on a view master (the old kid's toy). I'd have to say 50s PT had the best desserts of any restaurant... wait ... who needs dessert? I'll have another milkshake please... this time make it a peanut butter and jelly shake!

But our DS's favorite dessert is just a big bowl of Florida strawberries. I think almost every restaurant found that for him!

Is this a kid's dessert? It looks so fun - usually the kids desserts seem a little boring... We have a dinner reservation there one night - I'm sure my daughters would love this!

The Kona cone is not a kids' dessert, unfortunately. I think most of the cool desserts are on the adult menus now except at signature restaurants. The chocolate Moose and smores at Le Cellier, the Kona cone, etc.

Most of the one credit kids desserts are a choice between the generic build-your-own ice cream or a fruit cup/salad, with a few offering a cookie/cake or pudding. The Plaza still has a neat kids' Mickey-ears sundae, and Captain's Grill at the Yacht Club has a neat fruit/marshmellow kabob. At most one credit meals either DH & I share a dessert to let our girls share the other adult dessert or we skip dessert and let the kids get something more interesting with a snack credit later.

At the signature restaurants there are some really fun desserts, build-your-own smores at Jiko and Narcoosees, paint-your-own puzzles (which are more toy than food -the white chocolate isn't terribly tasty) at Artist Point and Yachtsman, chocolate fondue at Jiko and Flying Fish, the Nemo cupcake at Narcoosees, and my kids' absolute favorite, the rice crispy treat sushi at California Grill. My son still orders from the kids' dessert menu at most signatures, even though he's been an adult for DDP purposes for years.

I forgot about the Kona Cone! This was an adult dessert but plenty to share! I think the kids desserts were something else.... I gave my Kona Cone to DS. Here's another view.

Since teh DDP the really cool kids desserts have all kind of disappeared. I recall the days of peanut butter play dough, snow cone in a beach pail, for kids and a bunch of create and paint your own items that were unique to each restaurant. Those all went away when the bean counters wanted to raise the profit margin while lowering the offerings.

A few items remain but not nearly what they had when my kids were younger.
