REVIEW: Be Prepared for the NEW Scar Halloween Cupcake at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Walt Disney World is stocking up on delicious Halloween-themed treats available all season long, including snacks based on our favorite Disney Villains. The Lion King‘s Scar graces the top of this cupcake now available at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

This is a red velvet cupcake with toasted marshmallow filling and chocolate marshmallow frosting. It’s topped with chocolate pebbles, white chocolate flames, and an edible icing Scar.

Scar is wreathed in green flames and reddish-brown bubbles of lava.

While the edible icing Scar and white chocolate flames made for a cool effect on the top of the cupcake, they were a little too sweet for our taste.

We did like the chocolate marshmallow frosting and felt like it was a nice touch to the entire cake. The chocolate pebbles were crunchy and added a more interesting texture to the snack.

Unfortunately, the red velvet cake and toasted marshmallow filling didn’t have enough flavor to balance the sugary toppings. It might be a fine treat for anyone with a sweet tooth, but we found it a bit too overwhelming.

We got the Scar Cupcake at Creature Comforts (Starbucks) at Disney’s Animal Kingdom for $5.99. It’s also available at Flame Tree Barbecue and Restaurantosaurus.
