You can't get the wallpaper without doing fondant, since they screen print it directly on the fondant. But you just peel off the fondant and there's buttercream underneath it. Also, Disney's fondant isn't like any fondant you've had elsewhere. It's sort of marshmallowy, and over the years I've seen many many fondant haters end up loving it. Either way, there's always that buttercream on the cake.
You can try ordering the cake by calling the number for Art of Animation in Post #2 of this thread. Their cakes are made by Yacht & Beach Club, which has the capability to do fancy cakes. But AoA won't let you speak directly with a pastry chef, and you cannot order a cake for delivery to AoA by contacting Yacht & Beach Club directly.
The easiest place to work with is the Contemporary, so if you have an ADR at any of that resort's restaurants, that might be your best bet. You can send them the photo at the email in Post #2 and find out how simple you'd need to go to keep the price under $75, if that's possible.
) We want anything other than chocolate and/or vanilla, thought this might be an option. Kinda bummed AKL works best for our cake order, because it sounds like it will be a struggle.
Hi everyone! Just wanted to share a welcome cake I had made for my kids on our trip over July 4th. I ordered it from the Grand Floridian - 1900 park fare. We had a breakfast reservation so we took the cake to go. Luckily, my kids are little and oblivious to the white box I carried out of the restaurant, so I was able to surprise them later in our villa at Saratoga springs with this welcome cake from Mickey and Minnie. The cake was a 6 inch custom chocolate cake with dark chocolate moose, Vanilla butter cream frosting tinted yellow with red Mickey heads piping around cake. On top was chocolate Mickey and Minnie ears. Each little ears are 1 inch solid chocolate rounds, to give you an idea of the size. This cake was very good, but very rich. I should have gone with the white chocolate moose or cannoli cream as a filling. We paid $63, but used our tables in wonderland card, so it ended up being about $59. I call the Grand Floridian cake line and spoke with Pat, who as always helped make this cake special for our family.
