Love is sweet, and Valentine's Day provides the perfect opportunity to soak it all in. And what is a better place for basking in all that makes love sweet than Disney?

But really, you don't wanna miss the special Valentine's treats at Disney Parks.
Valentine's celebration options for you and your honey are endless, but the most classic has a lasting appeal. Set against a backdrop of the happiest place on earth, you and your love feast on incredible creations worthy of (Disney) royalty in any number of their exquisite restaurants. Face it: the real reason you, a grownup, love Disney so much is for its food. But, food on a holiday? Next level.
As Alex Dunlap, Disney's Food & Beverage Content Relations Coordinator described on the Disney Parks Blog, "Whether you’re celebrating with a loved one, family, or great friends, there are plenty of ways to celebrate with specialty Valentine’s Day offerings throughout the resort. Share a cupcake, chocolate-dipped strawberries, or even specialty pasta." But once you see these sweets, there's no way something savory would tickle your fancy."

The Strawberry Love Petit Cake just might be the star bake. Layers of vanilla chiffon cake soaked with Grand Marnier syrup, fresh strawberries, vanilla Chantilly cream, strawberry jam, and strawberry buttercream make up a chic, shiny bite. You can snag it at Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs.

The XOXO Red Fruit Cupcake, available at the Intermission Food Court, End Zone Food Court, World Premier Food Court, and at Disney’s All-Star Music Resorts, is reminiscent of Black Forest Cake.
