For Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Amorette’s Patisserie is celebrating with two new treats: the Strawberry Boba Tea Petit Cake and the Mushu Cake Bar.
Amorette’s Patisserie is located in the Town Center area of Disney Springs, near Levi’s and World of Disney.

This takes a pretty picture, but that’s the best thing about this cake. The presentation is great. What we don’t understand was the decision to make the boba pearls on the outside from fondant rather than using actual boba.
The strawberry mousse is overpowering. It’s a very strawberry-forward dish, but the mousse is artificial and drowns out the cake itself.
The cake was soaked in strawberry milk tea and filled with strawberry popping boba. There are also pieces of strawberry Pocky sticks that add a nice texture.
Like most of the petit cakes at Amorette’s, it’s covered in fondant. The two strawberries on top are chocolate with a very off-putting artificial sour strawberry flavor.
Mushu Cake Bar – $8
Chocolate and Red Velvet Cake Bar
Rating out of 7: 5
This had a rich dark chocolate flavor and the cake was moist. While not listed on the ingredients, there are crunchy pearls inside. The chocolate coating could have been overkill, but it works well here. It’s not overly sweet. The flowers are fondant, which we do not enjoy, but others might.
