i wanted him to do a monorail cake but he couldn't do it with the other theme i wanted. so his option was to do the monorail amenity/truffles and the themed cake i wanted. there's a link to the chocolate monorail on the Contemporary thread. i can find it if you need. we're goiing in February so i'll def take pics and post the cake part. it sounds pretty cool.
Can't wait to see what your presentation will be like!
Anyone?

We're going toward the end of Feb. and I'm conjuring up plans for a cake for my twin boys' birthday!!
Sorry, I've been meaning to post pictures. Got busy with the holidays and a family emergency since coming back from our trip. This was good motivation to finally get on the ball, though
I was very pleased. The cake was moist, and the carrot cake/moch mousse combo worked even better than I expected. I haven't eaten much fondant before, but I really liked what Disney used. We ate slices most morning for breakfast, but still had plenty left by the time we went home. Since we drove, it wasn't an issue to pack the leftovers up. Even a week later, the cake hadn't dried out.
As I said in my original post, I emailed Janet at Pop with pictures of what I was looking for design-wise. I just searched for Mulan cakes on Google and saved a few pictures of what I liked. I chose the image I wanted printed on the chocolate cut-out and specified what color I wanted the fondant to be and what I wanted the chocolate banner to say.
My sister loved it, and it was a complete surprise to her. She felt bad about eating Mulanbut that didn't stop her.
I hope that helped you a little. The ordering process was a lot easier than I expected. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
Not sure if either of you will like this idea...but I had discussed it with a runner friend who was thinking of a cake to celebrate if she did one of the halfs.
We were using the following spinner pin as inspiration...

We thought about having one of the smaller 3d white chocolate castles in the middle/top center of the cake and then a 2D stand up white chocolate Mickey edible image in running gear (like the one on the pin) poised like he's running around the castle in the center. Then there'd be lines/swirls kind of like on the pin to show his trail.
She wound up not being able to travel to run, but I still think the pin is a decent inspiration piece for a Disney run themed cake.
Not sure if it helps, but figured I'd share
