Behold, the Spaceship Earth cupcake

September 30, 2017, 10:13 AM · I usually ignore Walt Disney World's special-event cupcake fetish, but, yeah, y'all got me with this one.

Disneyland's had the Matterhorn Macaroon, like, forever, so why did it take until now for Disney to give us a Spaceship Earth cupcake? pic.twitter.com/l22CtMCqUc

Yes, that is a Spaceship Earth cupcake, a yellow cupcake with strawberry pastry cream filling, topped with a dome of cake covered in silver fondant, decorated to look like Epcot's iconic geodesic sphere. (This is one is just a dome, of course.) It's one of the speciality food items that Disney is rolling out for Epcot's 35 anniversary tomorrow.

The Spaceship Earth cupcake will be available at the Fountain View (aka the Starbucks) in Future World. Other 35th anniversary food include a Viking cupcake (with two little pastry horns) in the Norway pavilion and a Flower Pot cupcake at Sunshine Seasons.

I will be in Orlando for the Epcot anniversary celebration tomorrow, so watch Theme Park Insider for my full report, including some thoughts on the past, present, and future direction of Disney's most atypical theme park.

Just enough color, but keeping it simple. It really also sums up EPCOT: the world! I want it and I know you all want it!
