Captain Marvel Cupcakes

Growing up in the 80s and 90s, my favorite superheroes were Wonder Woman and She-Ra! I really don’t remember being that into superheroes but I do remember I used to have a red cape that I would wear here and there.

With the exciting movie opening of Captain Marvel, we are so thrilled to share our Captain Marvel Cupcakes with you!

My son and I are huge Disney fans. He’s been watching Disney movies since he was a baby. We visited Disney World for the first time as a family when he was just 4 years old. It was one of our first big trips as a family, one I will never forget. With each trip, I learned what we needed to pack. After that first trip, we knew we had to stay at a place with a kitchenette and access to a washer and dryer. Since we usually stayed for a week or longer, it was helpful for us to have both amenities. We even took a few trips to Disney World in the summer!

We are a family of Disney Dreamers and believe in pixie dust. I adore witnessing my son discover the magic of Disney each time we visit the parks!

Just in time for the new Captain Marvel movie opening March 8, 2019, we are celebrating with Captain Marvel Cupcakes!
