The Whispering Canyon’s 10-Gallon Sundae doesn’t appear on the menu, but that shouldn’t stop you from ordering this massive dessert.

Scoops of vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and mint-chocolate chip ice cream serve as the base of this sundae. On top you’ll find:
- Pineapple sauce
- Strawberry sauce
- Caramel topping

- Two brownies
- Two chocolate-dipped Mickey Mouse cookies
- Two chocolate cream-filled cookies
- Four toasted marshmallows

If this sounds like a pile of dessert products tossed in a hat, you’re not far off. You could easily dish out the individual desserts to your family and serve a party of four or six quite generously. Last reported at $27, this is one crazy indulgence.

The Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street offer this adorable sundae served in a souvenir Mikey sink. The sink is almost as good as the dessert, and definitely adds value to this $16.99 dessert. The dessert comes with two scoops of the ice cream of your choice with either hot fudge, peanut butter, or caramel topping. Whipped cream and two cherries sit on top. Though this is generously sized, it could serve one person with a large sweet tooth.
The kitchen sink dish is designed to resemble Mickey’s classic red pants. It features spinning Mickey glove handles and a faucet. If you’re looking for an adorable piece of décor for your kitchen or bathroom, this is a delicious way to pick one up.
