Disney4me Posted February 14, 2024 Report Share Posted February 14, 2024 Valentine’s Day in Disney World is WAY more than flowers, chocolate, and gifts. Connections Cafe & Eatery in EPCOT Valentine’s Day in Disney World is about LOOOOOVVVEEEE. Wait…who are we kidding? Valentine’s Day in Disney World is ALL about the snacks. Which we love. So close enough. We’re busy trying ALL of those snacks, too, including a Valentine’s Day shake, a Strawberry Delight cookie, and more. Well, we’re back with a NEW Valentine’s Day snack, but –SPOILER ALERT — this one wasn’t much of an upgrade. The Valentine’s Day Baumkuchen from Connections Café is a Chocolate and strawberry-flavored tree cake with chocolate icing coated on the outside mixed with sprinkles. So what exactly IS a tree cake? Well, it’s a cake made on a spit. Chefs brush on even layers of batter while rotating the spit over a heat source. Each layer browns before a new layer is poured on. When the cake is sliced, you can see the layers, which resemble the rings of a tree that’s been cut. It resembles tree rings Now this isn’t the first baumkuchen we’ve had here, but we’ll warn you that it’s not our favorite. However, it is a super cute dessert. You can taste the chocolate coating on this, but that chocolate layer is more like what you’d find on a donut dipped in chocolate, rather than a ganache coating like we had on the Chocolate Baumkuchen from here. That was our first disappointment. It’s pretty You can also only taste a hint of strawberry in the cake layers, which we found to be kind of dry. The sprinkles only add a cute festive flair, but they don’t do much for the flavor.
