Pin Preview - 2014 Epcot International Food And Wine Festival Chef Jessica

A new pin being released on September 19th at the 2014 Epcot International Food And Wine Festival will feature Jessica Rabbit as a chef - and it comes with her recipe for Carrot Cake! Jessica is dressed like a chef with white hat and coat. She's holding a plate of carrot cake (which will be a PVC element). There is another pin layer below her with the event logo and her quote, "I'll bake you a carrot cake." The backer card is actually a recipe card for Carrot Cake with White Chocolate Cheesecake Icing. Sounds delicious! The pin is a Limited Edition of 4000 and will sell for $14.95 each. Should this pin still be available after 30 days of release, it can be ordered through Disney Merchandise Guest Services.
