Disney Spotlights Candy Cauldron’s Show-Kitchen Tradition at Disney Springs
An official profile highlights craftsmanship, cast mentorship, with the Halloween-favorite Evil Queen apple as a focal point.
Overview
- Operating since 1997, the Evil Queen–themed shop features a dark, dungeon-style setting with a show kitchen at Disney Springs.
- Disney candy and caramel apples date to the early 1970s on Main Street, U.S.A., evolving into onstage creations guests can watch through the shop windows.
- The mid-2000s Evil Queen Apple, finished with a glossy red shell and signature green drip, returns each fall as a top seasonal draw.
- Longtime cast member Joanne, with over 30 years at Walt Disney World, has mentored many confectioners, including her son Pedro, who joined in 2010 and later moved into Disney leadership roles.
- Current offerings include classic caramel apples, character designs like Olaf and Jack Skellington, plus other treats such as cake pops, crispy rice sweets, and freshly spun cotton candy.
