2. Carrot Cake Cookie at Sweet Spells
A hidden gem at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney dessert fanatics know to visit Sweet Spells for the legendary carrot cake cookie.

The cookie is massive and perfect for sharing.
1. Grapefruit Cake at Hollywood Brown Derby
Grapefruit cake is a Brown Derby institution. The legend holds that regular patron Louella Parsons (a powerful gossip columnist at the time) complained that all of the Derby’s desserts were too fattening. In order to appease the frequent customer, the chef added grapefruit (an iconic diet food) to his usual cake. His creation was a hit and grapefruit cake has been a mainstay on the Brown Derby menu ever since. In this classic dish, layers of moist yellow cake and fresh grapefruit cream cheese icing create a dessert that is satisfying but light. Order the Mini Dessert Trio and select three desserts, including the Grapefruit Cake. The stunning presentation, with dried grapefruit and a grapefruit sauce drizzle, is always a delightful way to end the meal.
