Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

[MB_Ellie]

Just finalized and made the payment for our two cakes for the end of the month. Cake 1 will be a 6” cake (3 layers - it would be an additional $40 to make it 5 layers) with a Mickey Mouse theme and it came out to $160. Second cake is a mini cake, themed to Star Wars, and was $45. They’ll both be delivered to Crystal Palace.

I thought I had read here that people paid at the restaurant? But I had to prepay, and wasn’t able to use DVC or AP discounts, which I was hoping for.

I had to pre-pay too this time rather than paying at the restaurant like I did in October. I'm not sure what changed. Both my January cake and the one from October were from the Grand Floridian bakery.

I’ve always had to pre pay going back a decade. No discounts. I was recently quoted the similar prices.

We just got back from Disney. I had bday cakes done for both my daughters, by GF. They had them delivered to Narcoossee's for our Christmas Eve dinner. I didn't think to take pics of them cut.

The blue / Winnie the Pooh cake was chocolate w/the cookies and cream filling & buttercream icing. My daughter is a big Eeyore fan, and the baker who called me from GF said this was the only thing they had with Eeyore on it.

The red / Mickey Mouse cake was red velvet w/cream cheese filling, and buttercream icing.

They were 6" cakes, and $85 each. My daughters really liked our server and had her take slices for later. The rest we took back to our room, and they had them for breakfast over the next few days.

I didn't try the red velvet cake myself, but it was a hit with my daughters. The chocolate w/the cookies and cream filling was very good though.

eta: Originally I was going to do one big cake - but in talking to the baker it was decided to do two smaller ones. I was glad we did, as one of my daughters commented it was the first time she could remember having her own birthday cake, and she loved it.

I wanted to report back that the Grand Floridian has agreed to deliver the birthday cake to Topolino's!

Thanks for letting us know!

They take payment in advance because the cake is not made by the restaurant, it's made by a resort and delivered to the restaurant.

That makes total sense, I’m just curious how other people said they got their AP discount on it? Or maybe I just misread that part

 

[Princess Merida]

Has anyone used the swan and dolphin pastry team for a cake? I have scrolled through quite a few pages and haven’t seen any mentioned. We are having my daughters birthday dinner at I’ll Mulino this month and GF bakery won’t deliver there so probably going with the Swan’s bakery.

When you order a cake for delivery to a restaurant at a resort or park that actually has a pastry team, you can be charged for the cake at the time you dine and use your discount then.

Be at CRT, has anyone had a cake delivered there recently? If so what bakery or who do I contact? Thx

 

[Disturbia]

You can also order a chocolate slipper/crown dessert at CRT. We did a 6 inch Cinderella doll cake back in 2013 when our DD turned 5 ($180+tax tip). We couldn’t even finish half; the rest melted and went bad in the Florida heat.

I believe Grand Floridian is delivering to MK. They just don’t want to advertise it I suppose.

Paging Mr Morrow has a video on the lost slipper dessert. Its a chocolate shell over the glass slipper dessert:

Does anyone know if you can have a cake delivered to Oga’s Cantina? We have several reservations totally 34 people there on the morning of 2/21 as part of our 20th Anniversary Celebration, but one of our friends has their birthday on 2/21, and I thought it would be neat to surprise them with a birthday cake!

If not is it possible to have a cake picked up or delivered to the Animal Kingdom Lodge? And would Oga’s allow us to bring the cake in and eat it? Most of us are staying at Riviera, but we have a couple of guests who are at AKL. My thinking is that they could bring the cake as we could better surprise our friend since they wouldn’t see the cake box till we all met at Oga’s.

we went in November and there is plexiglass dividing tables. They are seating 5-6 people tightly packed on each side of the booth (would normally seat maybe 6-7; is now packed with 10-12 people). There was barely any room on our half of the table after drinks and appetizers (we got both meat/cheese and the chips) in the table. They do enforce the 45 min. rule so it would be rushed. Here is a review with the plexiglass:

Looking to purchase a speciality cake for my upcoming trip. Does anyone have photos of a Tinker Bell, Alice in Wonderland, or Cinderella themed cake?

There is a photo gallery on the first page; but here is a great photo for inspiration:

I remember seeing a Topsy Turvy mini cake (colorful tilted cups) for an unbirthday celebration made by the Grand Floridian, but I can’t seem to find it.

Just ordered a cake for my wife's birthday next month. They said no issue delivering it to the Polynesian, and actually they said they're delivering everywhere except for MK? Seems to go against reports, but who knows. So excited for it because the cakes posted here look awesome! It'll be our first time getting a cake delivered during our stay. Do they bring it directly to the room, or will it go to the lobby and we'll get a call to come down? Just trying to get that figured because I'm not telling my wife about it and want to keep the element of surprise!

In the old days they would deliver it directly to the room at the Poly via Private Dining. I would call them back to clarify, though, because it may be front-desk pickup only right now. What a great surprise!
