Happy Princess Week!
If you didn’t know, each year Disney celebrates what it means to be a princess, including virtues like kindness and courage. This year, the special week runs from August 16th through August 22nd. To celebrate, they release tons of snacks around Disney World for each princess, prince, or other royal family member to enjoy. We tried 3 of them so you can know if they’re right for you!
Grab your tiaras and let’s dive into the newest treats in Disney World. Starting off strong, we went to Le Petite Cafe at Disney’s Riviera Resort. This spot has been a favorite of ours for years, so we have high expectations. We grabbed the Lemon Blueberry Entremet for $7.79. It’s made with blueberry mousse, lemon chiffon cake, lemon curd, and blueberry compote.
The Lemon Blueberry Entremet
This was easily our favorite bite of the day! It’s small but mighty in our book. The cake was very light, and the crumb on the bottom was moist. The cake also stands enough on its own that the flavor isn’t lost in the glaze or the center filling. The main flavors from all of the components are blueberry and lemon. The sweet blueberry isn’t too much, and it balances beautifully with the tart lemon curd.

The center has a whole blueberry in it, which made for a very interesting textural element. Surrounding the cake, there are small pearls that add a slight crunch to each bite. The cake is very light and refreshing, but the tart lemon packs a surprising punch. The glaze on top is thin and melted into the cake with each bite. The yellow hair was lemon icing, which made every little detail feel very intentional. It’s an incredibly easy treat to finish and indulge in. Trust us, we will be coming back for it!

Next, we stopped by Sassagoula Food Factory at Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter Resort for the Tiana’s Caramel Éclair for $7.49. You can also grab it at Riverside Mill Food Court. This treat is made with honey crémeux, caramel, and spiced pecans.
Tiana’s Caramel Éclair
While we love Princess Tiana, this wasn’t our favorite treat of the day. The choux was well made, which was evident because it was light and puffy. It was airy and everything you could anticipate from a cream puff-style éclair. The treat was chilled, so it didn’t have as much crunch as we would have liked. The filling was sugar-forward with a touch of creaminess. There wasn’t enough cream to cut through the sweetness of the filling. The filling was full of honey, and the layer of caramel added a nice touch. We would have loved to have had a touch of sea salt in the caramel for a more robust flavor profile.

The white chocolate topping also adds to that sugary-sweet flavor profile. The dessert is beautiful, but unless you’re looking for something overly sweet, this probably isn’t for you.
It’s pretty, but not for us!
Finally, we tried the Princess of the Bayou for $9.00. This treat is made of vanilla chiffon with pistachio-praline crunch and a layer of orange pâte de fruit topped with pistachio mousse. You can find it at Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs.
Princess of the Bayou!
This was another very light and delicate dessert! The pistachio mousse was easily the star of the show. The orange pâte de fruit wasn’t overpowering. Pairing the orange and the pistachio together made for extremely balanced and refreshing bites. The chiffon cake and praline crunch on the bottom were there for texture more than flavor. We were missing any taste from the praline, but the crunch did make each bite interesting.

The best bites were the ones with each component working together. We would definitely get this again, but if you’re looking for some more traditional or familiar flavors, it might not be your favorite.
She’s extra pretty!
These three new treats are a super fun way to enjoy Princess Week and even support your favorite princess during your trip to the resort. Luckily, you don’t even need a park ticket for them! As always, be sure to keep following DFB for more reviews, news, and more!
