You're Making a MISTAKE If You Skip the Swirled Showcase Booth at the EPCOT Festival of the Arts!

Swirled Showcase is the place to go for sweet ice cream treats during the EPCOT festivals! And for this year’s Festival of the Arts, the menu is full of some interesting choices.

Swirled Showcase

We’re live at the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, checking out the food studios, artistic performances, merchandise, and more. There’s a LOT going on, but don’t let it overwhelm you. We’re here to tell you everything you need to know before your visit. Let’s head over to Swirled Showcase and check out the menu!

If you’re visiting Swirled Showcase during the EPCOT Festival of the Arts this year, don’t tell your dentist. The sweet treats on the menu are a lot! This year’s soft serve flavor is BUBBLE GUM. Yes, really. You’ll also find three flavors of DOLE Whip: Lemon, Lime, and Strawberry.

A new Imagination Cone made with bubble gum soft-serve in a lavender cone, “sparks” of imagination, and white chocolate wings is on the menu, as is a Candy Trio Flight, and a Liquid Nitrogen Minnie cake pop.

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

First, we’re checking out the new Imagination Cone made with bubble gum soft-serve in a lavender cone, “sparks” of imagination, and white chocolate wings. You can try it for $6.75.

Imagination Cone

Well, first of all, this was absolutely adorable. It’s a bubble gum soft serve, and the bubble gum flavor is VERY strong. You’d love it if you love bubble gum… and if you don’t, this is not for you. but very cute. The only disappointment we had was that the lavender cone didn’t taste like lavender, it just tasted like a normal cone. The Nerds candies added a sour crunch that helped switch things up from being too bubble gummy.

The new Candy Trio Flight is made with DOLE Whip Strawberry with STARBURST MINIS fruit chews, DOLE Whip Lemon with SKITTLES POP’d Freeze Dried Candy, and DOLE Whip Lime with chili-lime seasoning and LIFE SAVERS gummies! You can get this colorful flight for $8. Not a bad deal! If you’re looking for DOLE Whip without all the candy, you can choose any of the 3 flavors on the menu: Lime, Strawberry, or Lemon!

Candy Trio Flight

This is SUCH a fun dessert! The Strawberry DOLE Whip flavor was our absolute favorite, but the lime and lemon were delicious too, if on the tart side. Plus, how cute is that presentation?! Our only complaint here is that the tray is kind of flimsy and it’s not really easy to combine the DOLE Whip with the candies. We think kiddos will love this!

And finally, we got the Liquid Nitrogen Minnie cake pop with berry sponge cake, white chocolate ganache, and colorful chocolate splats. The Cake Pop is available for $4.75.

Liquid Nitrogen Minnie cake pop

How cute is this mini Minnie cake pop?! The sponge cake was very soft and had a berry flavor to it. It was light, but you can still taste the fruitiness. It’s an adorable dessert and wins for having Festival of the Arts vibes, but the flavor is nothing out of this world — it tastes like a regular grocery store dessert snack cake. But it’s cute, so it may be kind of worth it in that department.

OVERALL

Swirled Showcase knocked it out of the park this year — each dessert is cuter than the last and they all taste pretty great, too! Our favorite was the DOLE Whip Flight. We think kids and kids at heart will love this booth!

Swirled Showcase time!
