We LOVED the Moana Holiday Cupcake — it’s a chocolate cupcake with candy cane mousse and chocolate decor. One thing that impressed us is the size of it — it’s bigger than we expected! It was also DELICIOUS — that candy cane mousse stole the show!

We also revisited the Stitch Holiday Dome Cake this year, and this year’s version was a HUGE upgrade. Last year’s dome looked kinda’ sad, but he looks pretty good this year. It’s made with a chocolate brownie base and mint and chocolate chip-filled mousse with white chocolate ears and fondant eyes.
So cute!
We liked it, although the mint flavor almost overpowered everything else in that mousse. Get it now for $7.99.
