REVIEW: New 50th Anniversary Peanut Banana Pie and German Chocolate Cupcake at Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Contempo Cafe in Disney’s Contemporary Resort has two new 50th anniversary treats. We visited this week to try out the peanut butter-banana pie and German chocolate cupcake.

German Chocolate Cupcake – $5.99

Chocolate cupcake filled with German chocolate filling topped with buttercream, chocolate Contemporary Resort 50th anniversary logo, and white chocolate curl

We wish this cake was a little moister.

The filling is nice and the German chocolate flavor is obvious. Coconut and walnuts are not in short supply inside this cupcake.

The white chocolate garnish was sweeter than some other Disney cupcake garnishes. The icing was too sweet as well.

With the sugary sprinkles, the toppings of this cupcake took it overboard, but the cake and filling were good.

Peanut Butter-Banana Pie – $4.99

Sweet tart shell filled with peanut butter mousse and banana sauce topped with chocolate glaze and chocolate décor

This one is definitely for peanut butter lovers. It’s a copy of Contempo Cafe’s previous peanut butter pie, but with some extra garnishes.

It’s heavy on the peanut butter flavor and completely lacking in banana. The shell is nice, buttery, and well-made.

The chocolate complemented the peanut butter well but does add to an already rich dessert.

More of a banana taste would have helped to cut the rich chocolate and peanut butter.
