Beaches and Cream Soda Shop - A Disney World Restaurant

The Kitchen Sink, Disney World's largest dessert!

Beaches and Cream Soda Shop is a small restaurant in the Beach Resort at Disney World along the
Boardwalk outside of Epcot. It's a great place to have a hotdog or burger and ice cream. Often times there is a wait to be seated, but we went late at night around 9 PM and were seated right way. We did not have a reservation. We sat out on the patio outside overlooking the pool. Next time I would sit inside, it seemed way more exciting inside.

We went here for ice cream one night and ordered the Kitchen Sink. They literally serve your serve your 10 scoops of ice cream and every topping they have in a little metal kitchen sink. Even with all five of us eating we couldn't finish it!

It cost $26.99 which may seem like a lot, but when you can feed a family of 5-8 people with it, it's actually an affordable option. It's probably cheaper than buying 8 people individual ice creams.

I highly recommend taking your kids here to get the kitchen sink. My kids having stop talking about it and it's been well over a month since we were there. I think they will always have memories of the lights  and sirens going off when they bring it out and the funny announcement they make about the monstrous dessert. 

You should have seen my kids’ faces when they saw it! If I had known ahead of time about the production they make when serving it and how my kids were going to react I would have videotaped it!

FYI - As an added bonus there is an arcade next door and it's very reasonable.

Mint Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Ice Cream Cake

A while back I bought an ice cream cake from Cold Stone and was a little taken back by the price. I wondered if I could make one. I wasn't sure how hard it would be. After searching Pinterest I realized how easy they are to make. They are way cheaper to make then they are to buy.

Mint Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Ice Cream Cake

1 package brownie mix (get whatever kind you like best)
1 carton mint chocolate chip ice cream
1 package mint Oreos
1 package regular Oreos
1 jar hot fudge

Bake the brownie mix according to it's directions in a 9x13 pan. Make sure not to over cook the brownies. You want the brownie to be soft enough it will hold the Oreo mint cookies you press into it all along the sides of the pan. Once your brownie base has cooled enough add the cookies all along the side. The add an ice cream layer on top of the brownie base.

Next crush up some regular Oreos and sprinkle them across the ice cream. I tried to use the mint ones, but they do not crumble up well.
Next pour the hot fudge over the crumbled cookies and ice cream layer. Spread around the hot fudge.
Finally add another layer of ice cream and top it with some more crushed Oreos. Put it in the freezer until your ready to eat it.

I forgot to take a picture of the finished cake and it didn't last long once I got it out of the freezer. The kids gobbled it up in no time!

Sugar Factory - Las Vegas strip

The Sugar Factory is the brand new candy store that opened in front of the Paris Hotel, in Las Vegas that is known for couture lollipops.  I didn't know that there was such thing as a couture lollipop.  I had bad feelings about this store because they knocked down the beautiful fountain in front of the Paris casino to build it.  I changed my mind after going in there.  It is really well done and fun for the kids.

They let the kids sample candy for Free until they can decide what they want.  My kids, of course, took advantage of this and had at least ten samples.  There is also an ice cream counter, hand made chocolates, and gourmet cupcakes.  You are also allowed to sample the ice creams.  My son sampled 4-5 of those!

The other half of the store that I did not get any picture of is their restaurant, Sugar Factory American Brasserie.
