So, today we’ve got a SUPER cute cupcake from Contempo Cafe at Disney’s Contemporary Resort!

The restaurant, located on the Concourse in the Resort, is one of my favorite stops for delicious counter service eats. It’s just a monorail ride (or quick walk) away from Magic Kingdom, making it a great option if you need a break during a busy Park day.

But they’ve also featured some truly decadent and beautiful Cupcakes throughout the years. I’m always anxious to pop in every time I’m in town to see what Chef Jeff Barnes and his creative team have come up with!

And on a recent visit, I didn’t come up empty handed when I stopped by for an afternoon snack.

The Hot Chocolate Cupcake

Well, the very last thing that you want in Florida 11 1/2 months out of the year is a steaming cup of anything. So this is a fun nod to hot chocolate without getting any of the “hot!”

It’s pretty great that you get so much description here on the sign…and it’s pretty irresistible, eh?

I quickly opted to try this new-to-me cupcake, passing by the ever popular Frozen Cupcake and the classic Red Velvet Cupcake.

It’s definitely super cute, with Toasted Marshmallows on top, a Striped Chocolate Straw, Red Sprinkles, and a mound of light Chocolate Buttercream.

When I cut into it, I found what I’ve come to expect in a Contempo Cupcake: filling, with a cutaway piece of cake inverted so that it forms a base for piping the buttercream. The chocolate cake was also fairly standard — not dry, but nothing spectacular. Perfectly fine, in fact.

The Filling, according to the description card, was Chocolate Marshmallow.

It definitely seemed to be different than the light and airy buttercream, but I didn’t get an overwhelming flavor of marshmallow. Still, I loved the looks of this one. I may not have it again and again, but I’m glad I tried it once.
