This year for my birthday, I decided I wanted to try to eat desserts around the world at Walt Disney World's EPCOT. I started planning, researching and enlisted my friend, Suzanne, to help me out! While Curtis drank around the world, we enjoyed desserts! It was soooo fun!
I'm sharing with you the desserts we enjoyed that day!
First up, well actually this was the last dessert we had for the day, but it's the closest to the front of the park…so you can have it first or last.
These carrot cake cupcakes are at Sunshine Seasons (food court) which is located in Future World at EPCOT. Loved these!
Before you hit the World Showcase, you have to the right and hit up Refreshment Port. Their version of the cronut, a croissant doughnut, is amazing! You can get it with or without the soft serve ice cream…and the soft serve options are vanilla, chocolate or vanilla and chocolate swirl. If you're asking me if you should get it with ice cream, I will say you MUST get the ice cream!
That's Suzanne's son…agreeing with me that you NEED the ice cream! He was a trooper and helped us with the desserts that day!
Pro tip: For some reason, they don't have knives at this kiosk so I always try to bring one from Starbucks from the front of the park or you can grab one in the UK or Mexico…especially if you're sharing this donut with others!
If you look at a map of EPCOT, the World Showcase starts on the left at Mexico or if you're like us, we usually go to the right and start at Canada. For some reason, this day, we started in Mexico.
These churros are served with a caramel sauce and they are just perfect…the perfect amount of crispiness outside and chewiness inside!
By the way, I missed a couple of “countries” (pavilions), such as China and American pavilion, but I'll definitely share with you ones from those areas that I want to try or have tried in the past!
We then made it over to Norway to the Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe where we had the chocolate mousse. I have had the school bread and love it too!
When we went for my birthday, the Frozen Ever After ride wasn't open yet but I have since gone back and rode it, it's lovely! If you love the movie, you'll love it! Be sure to get Fast Passes for it!
We skipped China but next time, I really want to get the caramel ginger ice cream. And we also skipped Germany…I must get the caramel cupcakes from the Karamell-Kuche next time!
We then made it over to Italy and went to the Gelati kiosk where we enjoyed the tiramisu. I love their tiramisu and have been getting it for years. You know when you have good tiramisu and when you have bad, you know what I mean!
I have both the Espresso Gelato “Affogato” and the gelato sandwich on my list!
We skipped the American Adventure pavilion but my favorite there is the funnel cake!
This was a perfect “break” for our dessert eating adventure…Kakigori Japanese Shaved Ice, we got the rainbow one (it had four flavors) at the Kabuki Cafe.
We skipped Morocco…I have had the baklava at the Tangierine Cafe on my list!
In France, at the Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie…I couldn't decide so we got two desserts! The lemon tart…oh my, isn't it perfect?
Also, be sure to check out the from scratch ice cream at L'Artisan des Glaces in France. I love the coconut white chocolate ice cream when they have it and their seasonal macaron ice cream sandwiches are amazing!
And the nutella beignet…it's so soft and pillowy and perfect! I also love getting their chocolate croissants…getting it to go and having it for breakfast for the next day.
I'd say we did pretty good for a full day! And it's safe to say that I had an amazing birthday!
Notes about the United Kingdom pavilion, we skipped but I kinda want to try the Victoria Sponge Cake at the Yorkshire County Fish Shop which by the way has amazing fish & chips!
And Canada, doesn't have any desserts at any walk up kiosks, sadface!
Okay, so have you eaten desserts around the world at EPCOT or do you have any favorites? I want to hear all about it, share with me in the comments below!
This is not a sponsored post. While I do go to press events at Walt Disney World from time to time, we pay for our own annual passes and I love to share with you the experiences I enjoyed!

I’m an annual pass holder and Epcot is my favorite park! I can’t wait for Food & Wine next month! <3
Christina | Christina's Cucina says
I have never been to Epcot, but what a great choice of international desserts! I have a lot of sweet teeth, but I think that number of desserts in one day would do me in!! All of them look superb, though!
Jennifer says
Wow, all those desserts are way better than one birthday cake! The lemon tart looks absolutely to die for. And I am totally craving a snow cone right now in this summer heat.
Erin@WellPlated says
I can’t decide which country is my favorite! I haven’t been to EPCOT in YEARS and am now dying to head back ASAP!
Lauren @ Climbing Grier Mountain says
Um, I would gladly take one of each!! Disney knows how to do desserts!
Lori @ RecipeGirl says
Well, happy belated birthday! What a fun choice to do on your birthday– I hope you brought some of those home, lol! My favorite would have to be the churros with caramel sauce!!!
Karen T says
We have been to Disney once…. Maybe it is time to go back and concentrate more on the food this time!!!!
Julie Deily says
Yes you do need to come back! There’s so much good food!
Brenda @ a farmgirl's dabbles says
While Curtis drank around the world, ha!! I’d have joined both you AND Curtis around the world, dessert AND drinks!! 🙂 Everything looks so good!
Julie Deily says
Haha, I totally didn’t take any photos of his drinks…I should have! 🙂
Nicole Taggart says
we drank around epcot. I need to eat around there next time!
Julie Deily says
Yes you do!!!
Debra Smith says
Oh Canada! Shame on you! What – no little tiny donuts? no Tim Horton’s? no beaver tails? no maple syrup poured over snow? My cheeks are scarlet as a maple leaf in the fall – with embarrassment. Sorry Julie.
Julie Deily says
There’s a restaurant in the Canada pavilion called Le Cellier Steakhouse…it’s been on my list to try…they have desserts!
All of your ideas for desserts at a walk up kiosk sound amazing, Debra!
TidyMom says
Can you believe we’ve never been to Disney! Pinning your post!! So much fantastic looking food there!!
Julie Deily says
I can’t believe you have never been…you need to change that! They definitely have a lot of amazing food at Epcot!
Kara@K&R Adventures says
We just went back in May too and ate our way around the World Showcase. We tried the brioche ice cream sandwich in France, but honestly not my fave. We LOVED the raspberry macaron and nutella beignet from there. We also tried several items from the flower & garden festival stands – the candied strawberries in China were killer.
Julie Deily says
Hi Kara!
I actually loved the brioche ice cream sandwich…I haven’t had it in a while but I did it with the coconut white chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce…which flavor ice cream did you do? The raspberry macaron is amazing! I love Flower & Garden! I love love those candied strawberries, have you ever gotten their bubble (boba) milk tea before? I’m obsessed…I wish it was a regular menu item.
Have you been to Food & Wine in the fall before? Another highlight of my year…I love the food!
