Amorette’s Patisserie In Disney Springs

If you love sweets as much as I do, I’ve got some fantastic news for you. On May 15, 2016, a brand new high-end bakery will open in Disney Springs – Amorette’s Patisserie – aka heaven on earth for those of us addicted to sugary goodness!

Amorette's Patisserie 7This adorable shop will offer delicious sweets beautifully decorated by Walt Disney World’s best pastry chefs. The location itself will even feature an on-stage finishing kitchen so guests can watch the pastry chefs expertly decorate the artistic cakes.

There are so many treats to try, you may have to make more than one visit during your vacation. On the menu you’ll find chocolate-chocolate chunk cookies, macarons, sacher torte, opera cake, eclairs, and cheesecake just to name a few. There are also signature sweets like the “Strawberry Fields of OC” which is a decadent strawberry mousse with basil sugar and lemon curd or the “Reflection in Memphis” which is a tasty peanut blondie with bacon, banana, and chocolate.

Of course, you’ll need something to wash down all of the that sugary deliciousness and they’ve got you covered. Everything from champagne to an ice cold glass of milk are available. And if you’re looking to push yourself into a full sugar coma, go for Amorette’s Hot Chocolate Ganache which is basically like drinking a cup of hot fudge topped with Chantilly and shaved dark chocolate. Talk about rich!

Amorette’s Patisserie will open in Town Center at Disney Springs on May 15, and beginning on May 22, guests can pre-order cakes by calling 407-934-3500 with 72 business hours advance notice. I plan to check this place out during my next trip, and I’ll be sure to let you know what I thought. It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it!

The Ganachery In Disney Springs

Ganachery 4

The Cure For Common Chocolate!

With New Year’s Day (and those pesky resolutions) behind us and Valentine’s Day on the horizon, you know what I’ve been thinking about? Chocolate, of course! If you love chocolate as much as I do, I’ve got some fantastic news for you. In December, a brand new shop opened in Disney Springs – The Ganachery – aka heaven on earth for those of us addicted to the sweet dark goodness!

Ganachery 9And as with all things Disney, they have once again gone above and beyond with the details. This is not just your typical candy shop. “We like to tell a story, because when guests arrive they want to feel like it’s a real place,” says Imagineer Theron Skees. “Our cast members will bring our story to life and make our guests feel part of it.”

“It’s a fresh take on an old apothecary,” says Skees. Bottles, scales and other props inspired by drugstores of another era adorn the little shop. The walls are even painted the colors of chocolate and caramel. “The theming carries through right down to the packaging,” says Skees. “Traditional Apothecary labels are ‘blocked’ with spaces for weights, measurements and descriptions, so we were inspired by that idea and made it more modern for the elegant chocolate bars and chocolate boxes.” Thus the clever tagline, “the cure for common chocolate.”

But the real star of the show here is the custom-blended ganache, created with Disney’s special recipe of rich dark melted chocolate and cream, that is then covered in a chocolate waterfall to create 16 delicious flavors. “The trend in the United States is dark chocolate, and The Ganachery uses a bold, 65 percent dark chocolate made with a touch of vanilla for a beautiful balance of fruitiness and acidity,” explains Disney Pastry Chef Stefan Riemer.

If your mouth isn’t already watering, check out this video for more details!

Open daily at 10:00am, The Ganachery is located in The Landing at Disney Springs across from Paradiso 37. I plan to check this place out during my next trip, and I’ll be sure to let you know what I thought. It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it! 😉
