Pop Food at Pop Century

by Nicole Weston, Posted Mar 10th 2006 @ 9:19AM

Are your kids already requesting a trip to Disney World for their summer vacation, or maybe you haven't decided where to go for some rest and relaxation this year? There is no reason not to factor food into the equation and if you're looking for something really fun, the Disney Pop Century Resort in Florida may be just the ticket. Not only can you relive just about every trend of your childhood at the brightly colored complex, but the food is just as exciting as the architecture. Retro-chic classic comfort foods, like fried chicken and mashed potatoes are served in a TV tray, and tye-dyed colors swirl through timeless favorites like cheesecake and fluffernutter sandwiches. All the food is served in a casual, food court-style setting, which makes it perfect for families with small children, offering something for everyone.

About.com's photos of the prepared foods they tried, the chicken TV-dinner and the cheesecake, show that the real thing looks every bit as good as the promotional photos from the resort, pictured here. Actually, the cheesecake might look even better in the live photo because you can clearly see the Red Velvet Cake layer underneath the cheesecake, but the fluffernutter still looks too cool to pass up.

Update: Want to make the cheesecake? Here's a recipe for it!

I figured it was done with food coloring -- as my kids would say, "DUH!" -- but there`s probably some trick to getting the colors to layer just like that.
I look forward to trying the copycat recipe, and experimenting -- as apparently many others here do, too.

I envision millions of homemade multi-colored cheesecakes on tables all over America and beyond, in the next few months, all thanks to this post.

And I think that in itself is a very beautiful thing.
