monsters inc

Scare away your hunger with these Monsters Inc cake jars!

Mike and Sulley are here to help you satisfy your sweet tooth with these adorable treats. They are super easy and fun to make.

So turn on Disney+ to watch “Monsters Inc” while you enjoy these delicious cake jars!

INGREDIENTS:

  • Mini mason jars
  • Vanilla cake mix (You’ll need water, oil and eggs)
  • Vanilla frosting
  • Food coloring in neon green, neon blue and purple
  • Small pastry bag and icing tip

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Prepare cake mix following the instructions on the box
  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Separate the cake mix into three bowls. Add food coloring to each one, adding the purple coloring to the smallest bowl
  • Now it’s time to fill the mason jars:
    • Mike: Fill the jar halfway with the green cake mix
    • Sulley: Add a layer of blue cake mix, then add small drops of purple cake mix on the sides. Repeat until you reach halfway
  • Place the mason jars in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on them because they can turn a bit brownish at the bottom if you leave them there for too long
  • Remove cakes from the oven and let them cool off completely before frosting
  • Place a dollop of white icing on top of the Mike jar then place a blue chocolate candy on top to create the eye
  • For Sulley, use neon blue food coloring mixed with the frosting to make the blue icing. Transfer to the pastry bag and pipe “hairy” icing on top of the cake
  • Repeat the same process for the purple icing to make the spots

Now it’s time to enjoy your Monsters Inc mason jar cakes!

DIY It’s A Small World Flower Pot Stakes!

Its a small world

Add a touch of magic to your garden with this “It’s a Small World” inspired DIY!

Did you know that “It’s a Small World” opened on May 28th, 1966 at Disneyland Park? That’s why in honor of it’s anniversary, Disney shared a very cute and colorful DIY! It will make you feel as if you were on the happiest cruise that ever sailed!

Plus is super easy! Here’s the list of the things you need and a few simple steps you need to follow to create them. Take a look:

Supplies:

  • 4-5 inch wooden cutouts in circles or hearts
  • 12 inch wooden dowels for the flower stems
  • Basswood sheets, thin enough to be cut with scissors
  • Acrylic paint in solid and/or glitter colors
  • Paintbrushes
  • Scissors
  • Hole punch
  • Letter stickers or paint markers
  • Hot glue

Step 1: First we will start painting the cutout circles and hearts as well as the wooden dowels with a base coat of acrylic paint. You can paint them in colors that match the signs from “It’s a Small World” or get creative and improvise!

LEGO Store in Disney Springs Reopens on May 27th

LEGO Store

More good news for Walt Disney World Resort! The LEGO Store at Disney Springs will officially reopen to the public on Wednesday, May 27, 2020.

The LEGO Store is quite popular among both kids and adults. They have fantastic photo opportunities with their impressive LEGO displays, such as their unofficial store mascot, Brickley the Sea Serpent. The other LEGO character displays are quite impressive and worth seeing while visiting Disney Springs. Shoppers can find brick toys of fan-favorite franchises for Star Wars, Marvel Comics, Disney, and other franchises.

The LEGO Store is reopening on Wednesday along with a handful of other Disney Springs stores, such as the World of Disney and Marketplace Co-op. To protect the health and safety of guests, the store will have capacity limits and require social distancing from other shoppers. Due to the current pandemic concerns, we expect to see some other minor changes. It’s unlikely that the play area will be open. Many kids enjoyed playing with the open LEGO bricks and figures, but it’s understandable if this isn’t available upon reopening.

Have you ever stopped for photos at the LEGO Store in Disney Springs? What are your family’s favorite LEGO toys? Let us know in the comments!
