The flowers are sprouting, and our seasonal allergies are acting up. That can only mean one thing: springtime has officially arrived. Speaking of spring, one of our favorite springtime holidays is happening NOW — it’s Earth Day! In Disney World, we’ve seen everyone from Disney Springs to Disney’s Animal Kingdom get involved in the festivities.
King Louie and Baloo came to celebrate Earth Day!
Today we’re back to visit a Disney World hotel serving a fun little Earth Day treat. Who’s hungry?
Behold, the Cactus Cake! We found this limited-time treat at The Mara (home to the famous Zebra Dome treat) at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
We got the Cactus Cake from The Mara for $7.99! It’s chocolate cake with peanut butter filling, strawberry jam, and buttercream!

This specialty dessert is made up of a chocolate cake layered with peanut butter filling, strawberry jam, and topped with buttercream icing. It’s like a peanut butter sandwich combined with chocolate cake; we like the sound of THAT!
The Cactus Cake
We know you shouldn’t judge a Disney treat by its looks, but we must admit that this is a cute little cupcake. The cake was fresh and moist, and the peanut butter layers are nice and thick with a sweet jelly layer between them. You can’t go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter — it’s a classic for a reason!
We love the sugar flower on top!
Now, here’s a tip: you’re going to want to eat this FAST! Our terracotta-inspired chocolate planter melted pretty quickly. If you’ve ever tried a Mickey Bar, you know how fast a thin chocolate shell can melt in the Florida sun.
Looks at those LAYERS!
If you love peanut butter or consider yourself a peanut butter and jelly lover, this is worth a try! If you aren’t a fan of peanut butter and tend to steer clear of overly sweet Disney treats, you can skip this one.
Eat it quickly! It will likely melt!
You can try this fun treat for $7.99 exclusively on April 22nd! In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more!
