Introducing the ‘Piggylicious’ Bacon Cupcake with Maple Frosting and Pretzel Crunch, available at the 2014 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival at Walt Disney World.
I’m saying yes… although I’m trying to reconcile the taste sensation between the creamy maple frosting and the salty bacon bits. What do you think? And more importantly, who’s heading to Epcot soon? Be sure to try one of these bad boys and let us know! The 2014 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival runs through May 18, 2014.

I love bacon and it has a lot of possible uses. (my favorite being bacon wrapped scallops.) but for this i have to say nay-con it sounds disgusting.
LOL tell me how you really feel Francine! I do love bacon-wrapped scallops – haven’t had them in a long time!
I have to try it first before I give a yay or nay. I might be pleasantly surprised or my gag reflex might kick in. I swing around your place about 1? lol knock knock
LOL I WISH I had some on hand – may have to bake some up!
Yah-con. I want the recipe!!
I’m trying to find one Rick!
I would to have to say Nay to this. I love bacon but not in sweet dishes.
Hmm… have you ever tried dipping bacon in maple syrup? I actually love it!
It’s definitely a nay-con for me as I don’t eat bacon.
Well that solves that! Hahaha
I would have to say yay, if they taste as good as my maple bacon cookies these are going to be divine!!
Where are these Maple Bacon cookies you speak of??
If it were a cornmeal muffin less all the icing (substitute a drizzle of maple syrup – the real stuff) I would say yay-con, otherwise no. I’m sweet enough LOL
Oooh… that actually sounds divine!
I think I’m on the ‘nay’ side — I don’t like bacon to begin with!
You don’t? Oh no, I’m not sure we can be friends anymore Victoria! LOL
I dont know. I guess I would have to try this recipe before deciding. Im okay with bacon, but im not a bacon addict.
I think it’s a good thing that you’re not a bacon addict – too much is not good for the ol’ ticker!
WOW! That looks too good to be true!!
Cici, you are officially the first 100% without-a-doubt YAY-con. So interesting – I thought there would be more fans!
Why do brands choose the most unhealthy food to promote themselves? Good, healthy food sells as well ! On one side, people are becoming more and more health conscious these days with rising health care and insurance costs.On the other side, brands encourage people to eat unhealthy food. This is a sad reality we live in.
They promote what is popular. Unfortunately, you probably won’t be seeing ‘broccoli cupcakes’ promoted by big brands anytime soon. On another note, it may be unhealthy, but in moderation there is nothing wrong with it!
I agree with you Jaime. Epcot celebrates delicious foods from around the world – mostly fresh, healthy options – and the Bacon Cupcake just happens to be one of the featured items for the Flower and Garden festival, but certainly not the only item. Everything in moderation!
And Misty, kudos to you for living a healthy lifestyle, even when faced with tempting brand advertising. Good, healthy foods are always the right choice to make most of the time!
Finally, a great reason to visit Disney
I know I could count on you as YAY-con :)
I have to go with nay. This sounds too rich for me :).
I’m wondering what the frosting tastes like… rich for sure,but maybe balances the saltiness out perfectly?
Yay!! YUM, Id try it :)
Another YAY-con, love it!
That’s a no thank you for me! I love bacon, but not with frosting.
LOL! When you say it like that, it sounds hilarious!
Yuck! No thank you :)
Another firm NAY-con! Thanks for weighing in Nicole :)
I think it would be yummy if it was corn bread and bacon
By the looks of the cupcake I’m wondering if it could be,,, that would certainly make sense!
As disgusting as this combo sounds. I am sure, it would become addictive. This would actually be fun to try as a dessert for the next family gathering. I am not a huge bacon fan, but love the smell of it and sometimes as a topping. My 3 brothers, wives & kids are the opposite.
I think the whole salty-sweetness of it would definitely make it addictive :)
This should be at the Canada pavilion at Epcot – it does not get more Canadian than maple and bacon!
You’re absolutely right Leslie – I never thought about it that way!!
It’s bacon…always YAY!!
YAY! Thanks for weighing in Melinda!
Now that I have looked at the picture a little more closely, it does look like that is a cornmeal “cupcake” – but still, ditch the frosting for me ;) LOL
I love your suggestion of drizzling maple syrup!
They look like cornmuffins with red peppers & bacon. Hmmm.
Hmm… that would be rather delicious!
I don’t eat bacon either so nay-con from me.
Yup, that would definitely make your vote easy!
Nay. No offense people but I think this bacon craze is disgusting. lol
LOL! It’s good to have an opinion!
I have to say nay . There is such thing as too much bacon in my opinion . lol
LOL – I do hear you. Thankfully I haven’t had bacon in ages so I’m up for it! Hahaha
I would definitely say yes this look delish!
Another YAY-con! Yay!
These look delicious and I am going to try them this weekend.
I’m not big on anything sweet, but if you put bacon in it I can be convinced to give it a try!
Yay Yay Yay for me! lol I adore bacon and I could see myself enjoying this, but my favourite way to enjoy bacon is bacon wrapped peaches grilled on the bbq!
I love bacon but I wish I didn’t and what I really would love is if I could be a vegetarian or vegan because I love animals
