Fresh Baked Photos

There's ample time to meet and pose with all of the characters at Tusker House. Goofy, Daisy and Mickey are pictured here... but Donald is usually around somewhere too!

A perfect pose from Daisy Duck who is showing off her safari outfit.

Hi Daisy! Looking good in that safari outfit! Somehow, this reminds me of Jane's outfit in Tarzan.

The characters you will likely meet at Tusker House. How can you not like the safari outfits? Very cool.

Dang, that Goofy is one tall character! He's almost scraping the ceiling at Tusker House.

Years ago, Donald was the character you would meet outside and have your photo taken with. Now, all four characters roam around the various dining areas of Tusker House.

If you ask me, Mickey is always the snazziest dresser. The outfit Mickey has on here at Tusker House is very similar to what he wore in the original Jammin' Jungle Parade which had it's last run a few years ago.

The "Mix It, Make It" demos don't really feel rushed. The 90 minute format (sometimes a bit shorter, depending on the demo) gives everyone time to take photos and ask questions.

The food-based Mix It, Make It demos usually have more components than the beverage-based demos.

The "Mix It, Make It" interactive demos do cost a bit more than a "normal" culinary demo. That's mostly due to the time and man-hours that go into setting up 50 place settings, with all the components that you need to make your own food or drink.

This Mix It, Make It demo titled "Become a Spice Blend Mix-Master" presented by Pam Smith and P.S. Flavor! contained 17 individual components!

First, put the pound cake in the cup. Next, pour in the espresso and vanilla... and now we're going to let that soak while we build some other components. The steps are easy enough for the whole family to follow along.

I made this! The concept of making food is new for some guests, and the "Mix It, Make It" series is a fun way to remind all of us just how much effort goes into making the food that we enjoy every day.

Cile Moreno leads an interactive Four Roses Bourbon tasting and Manhattan making session for Epcot's Mix It, Make It, demo series.

A small food plate was usually part of the beverage based Mix It, Make It demos. More times than not, the beverage was also used in a glaze or sauce on the food item!

Here's the finished product from the interactive demo... a Black Manhattan. Each guest got to make their own using Four Roses Bourbon products.

The Four Roses products that guests got to sample and use in their own Black Manhattan. You will get some background information and history of the products being used at the various Mix It, Make It demos.

Each table was set with everything you would need to make your own Black Manhattan. Most beverage-based Mix It, Make It demos made use of a cocktail shaker.

The first seating area you'll find after rounding the corner at Anandapur Local Food Cafe is this small grouping of tables. The area opens up more once you get past these few tables.
