It was supposed to cost us $25 but our server let us have it on the dining plan instead of ordering desserts (it was our choice either we could have dessert and pay for the cake or no dessert and cake was included in dining plan..of course we said "YES!!"). I'm not sure if they would do that normally though...but it was a good way of boosting his tip

I say hopefully because this is a picture that the GF sent me to give me an idea of what they could do.

I told them I wanted it EXACTLY like the picture!! I just fell in love!
Our cake will have only two layers though. Other than that it should look the same.

There are only going to me 14 of us, and while we'll still have some wasted cake (maybe ) the 3 layers would have served about 75 people!
I don't even I could eat that much cake!

If it was $165 for the WHOLE cake I would be jumping up and down!!

It's $165 for JUST THE TOPPER!!

The cake done with 2 tiers instead of the 3 pictured, and WITH the topper would be $525.00!

I have special ordered cakes from the Grand Floridian Bakery twice before. Both times I arranged to have the cake at our traditional 1st night dinner at California Grill. The first cake was a white chocolate cake with milk chocolate ganache and fresh strawberries. Yummmy! We were celebrating my daughter's 13th B-day.



The second cake was a white chocolate cake with white chocolate buttercreme frosting. Very yummy!!! We were celebrating our anniversary. Both cakes were $25 and the price was just added to our bill. I'm not sure if they still do it this way, because it's been a couple of years.

Since they can't do "pooh", I had them do a hunny pot with hunny coming out. It was made out of molding chocolate. Not sure what the hunny was made out of. It was delicious as usual.

Cake from MK Bakery for DS's birthday. Vanilla cake with vanilla filling and buttercream frosting. July 22, 2006. The Haunted Mansion cake was $25.00 for the 8" cake and $8.00 for the image. So $33.00 altogether before tax. I have the DDE, so they took 20% off, as well.




Cake from GF Bakery. White cake with white chocolate mousse filling and white buttercream. The topper is all white chocolate and completely edible. This was for my DD's birthday. July 21, 2006



"Regular" (not a special order) cake from Kona Cafe. Vanilla cake with white frosting - NOT buttercream. I could taste the shortening in the frosting. My mom got this for me for my birthday. July 20, 2006




We had lots of cake on this trip. So much that I told my DH NOT to get me a birthday cake for my real birthday which is August 2nd.

They said they would serve 8 people and we all had huge slices and had over half a cake remaining.

Ohana's Cake (with edible chocolate Mickey's and Mickey sprinkles around the outside).



Sci Fi with a smooth fudge icing- YUM!!! We were too full to eat it after lunch so they sent it over to Pizza Planet where we planned to have dinner for no extra charge!

IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!

The cake was moist, the whipped cream was extra creamy and yummy and the fruit mousse was actually really, really good, not too sweet or too overpowering...I should have never doubted the Disney Bakers....shame on me haha

The cake was vanilla with buttercream frosting. The inside was a raspberry/whipped cream. It was *great*. I ordered it via the GF Bakery.

The cake was very good. I ordered vanilla. Here is a pic of my friend with her cake.

[QUOTE=carone0318]Hi all, we are back and I have pictures of dh's b-day cake that I ordered for dinner at LTT. It was perfect and tasty too. The only thing was, they said that they could do a marble cake and what they gave me wasn't marble, but one layer vanilla, one chocolate and another vanilla layer. After we ate dinner we had fastpasses for SplMtn and LTT held the cake for us while we rode rides and then I picked it up on the way out. We ordered a Chip & Dale cake and the picture of Chip & Dale was a screen picture, so it was very visible. The lettering on the cake was a chocolate fudge! It was an 8" cake ($25) and the screening for the character was $8, but LTT only charged me $26 and change, so I guess they didn't charge for the character screening.

It cost 40.00...expensive compared to cakes here at home, but as far as Disney prices go it seemed a reasonable cost to get what we wanted. It would only have been 25.00 but the Mickey and Minnie decoration was an extra 15.00 on top of the cost of the cake. It was very good.

It was actually pretty cool what they did at the Plaza. The waiter came out with the cake and yelled "Hey everybody guess what?" and a couple of people yelled "what" and he chastized those that didn't answer and said it again. Once everyone yelled back he said something along the lines of "We have a very special guest celebrating his 3rd birthday! Let's all sing happy birthday to Nicholas" and the whole place started singing. I was so happy. It was very special.

Anyway, here they are ...

The cake was fantastic, all chocolate, with blackberries, raspberries and blueberries on top with chocolate leaves garnishing it. It was really good, very chocolatey and moist.



PS with tax the cost was about 35.00. It fed6 people and we still had almost half a cake left. IF you are considering a Iluminations cruise with a cake, it was totally worth it. We had a great Capt, Nicole, see if you can request her.

We told the hostess when we requested a table that we were celebrating a birthday and they told us to sit for a moment while they prepared a table. A minute later, they ushered us to a nice table in the atrium area that was well decorated with Mickey shaped confetti and streamers. And for dessert, instead of the usual cupcake, they brought her a huge sundae of vanilla gelato with a chocolate shell and crispy topping (I didn't get a chance to try the topping but I was told that it was nuts, not peanuts, and crushed cookies, like amaretti). That sundae was one of my Mom's favorite desserts on the entire trip and we had a LOT of amazing desserts.

At 'Ohana that evening, my sister received the usual Mickey cupcake. It was pretty and nice, but not particularly as tasty or impressive as the sundae. To finish off the day, we had ordered one of the tiny Cinderella Castle cakes (from Grand Floridian bakery) and a plate of tuxedo strawberries to be delivered to our room at the Poly. We knew that we wouldn't be able to eat a whole regular cake, so the tiny cake was perfect and the bakery did a stunning job with it. It was chocolate cake with a white chocolate mousse between the layers and then white icing with a white chocolate castle. They placed a thin white sheet of parchment in front of it that looked like a scroll and wrote Happy Birthday in beautiful chocolate script.

Originally we had wanted to order a Tigger cake, but were told that it would cost $50 for the cake and another $20 or so for custom decorations. So buying the tiny but impressive looking castle cake for $25 turned out to be a great alternative.

I was very happy with the way it turned out! The kids loved it and the cake was delicious!

Anyway, it was yellow cake with strawberry custard filling. It had a layer of chocolate buttercream on top and ganache on top of that. It was delicious.

Here are pics (cross your fingers, it works)

Not sure how much it was as I gave them my CC over the phone. Shortly after we checked in, I got a call on my cell from Diane in room service asking if we had checked in and confirming my room number. The cake was delivered that evening at the specified time and was a big hit. It was presented on a large serving tray with party hats and horns, a cake server and plates, forks and napkins. They also included a candle and book of matches. Here's a pic:


Last year we were staying at the WLV for DH's birthday and had reserved the Wishes B'day cruise for his "big" day. This is the cake that came with the cruise. Again, I had choices and the lady from speciality dining called me prior to the cruise to discuss my options.


Both cakes were very yummy!

I could have opted for other cake flavors (white, marble, etc.) or a raspberry filling instead of chocolate mousse, and the icing options were buttercream, whipped cream, ganache, or chocolate icing. It was one of the most delicious cakes I've EVER tasted, and I'm a sweets-loving, cake-eating kinda girl It was almost more like a torte actually. There were 4 layers of cake alternating with 3 layers of mousse between them and a nice thick layer of icing on top & sides The buttercream was awesome...not too sweet, not gritty/sugary and really smooth & creamy. I would highly recommend ordering a cake from WCC if you're celebrating a special occasion there! We had 4 adults and 2 kids, and the 6" cake was plenty big enough. We ate a little more than 1/2 of it there and they gladly put the leftovers into a box for us.
