My parents celebrated their 60th anniversary on our trip last month and this is the cake we had made for them at the GF bakery. I had seen a picture of a cake like this in someone's trip report and loved it. They were kind enough to give me the information for ordering it. The cake was a big surprise and a huge hit. Our server brought it out at the end of our dinner at the GF Cafe.

It was chocolate cake with Chocolate mousse and fresh strawberries in between, with buttercreme icing.

I have pictures with DS, but I have an issue with posting family pictures on the internet. Sorry. Hope the pictures turn out. It's my first time posting pictures.

On a side note, I was able to store the cake in the refridgerator behind the front desk until I checked out. Then, when I got home, we were successful in removing all the decorative chocolate pieces. We are going to use the boots, belt, parchment paper, star, and neck thingie on the cake for the party at home. $140 plus tax

I was SOOOO happy with this cake! You never know what it will look like until you get it and it was awesome. People stopped us on our monorail ride and walk up to Crystal Palace just to look at the cake. We had to hurry and get it to CP because the ganache was getting soft. Everyhting on the cake was made of chocolate. I think it was beautiful and my DD loved her

It was made by the GF bakery as we ate at Citrico's. We chose marble cake with the white chocolate mousse filling. I also asked for icing (rolled fondant to you guys???) rather than frosting, we don't like that. The whole picture and frame was edible. It was the most delicious cake we've ever had!






I also have a photo of the Cars cake from the Boardwalk but wasn't sure if anyone had posted that already?

And we were so full from dinner we didn't really have room for cake, too, so we boxed it and brought it back to the resort. But thanks to everyone in this thread for all the helpful info - you helped me create a special memory

The cake was an 8-inch chocolate with whipped cream frosting. I think total with tax and everything was about $56.

Now I am trying to figure out how to get the decorations home. Any suggestions?

We did CRT in Oct - it was my mom's birthday - then DD bday 3 days later... I loved the streamers and Mickey Confetti on that table - gorgeous, I'm pretty sure they got a special placemat that the Princesses signed, as well as signing DD autograph book - which my Mom just loved getting their autographs btw!!

Since it was breakfast I didnt order a cake, but they did bring the cupcake, and like you mentioned, wasnt sure if they'd eat it, so I had brought 2 ziplock bags!! I think they shared one and I brought one back to the resort - anyway it was a cute dome shaped chocolate cupcake with confetti candy on it - and was moist and delicious!!

I posted about ordering the $12 -$15 Cake - NEVER again. Unless they make it on site, I think they do deliver them frozen... but again I could be wrong.

The castle cake I believe is very small and cost $25 (again dont quote me!) When I called the Grand Floridian to arrange this special cake the CM there talked me out of it and promised we'd love the Chocolate cake best - she was right - melt in your mouth!! It is made at the Grand FLoridian so I believe you have to have a plan to pick it up there, or like us just go ahead and reserve a 1900 Park Fair Dinner - its Buffet and Delicious...

Also note, the kids eat a lot, and a lot of sweets, and a lot different than home, they are extremely excited, so for me, I belive they'd love sharing a cake - it was big enough for our party of 4 adults and one child we ate less than 1/2 small pieces I'll admit - but we took it back to the resort!!

The only price she told me was the $25. I asked if I could pay while on the phone, but was told to pay for it the night I received it.

When I arrived for our seatings they knew I had ordered a cake & it had been delivered. After dinner I had our waitress bring out the cake. She took my cc info & said all would be taken care of. This was in the 6th & I still have not seen the charge yet, I hope I don't get a surprise with a $75 delivery charge

Anyway here is a picture of the cake. I ordered this for a Dis friend that was celebrating her birthday. This is a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting & it was the best carrot cake I have ever eaten. The frosting was the best! The DDA stands for "Disney Design Addicts".

And here's the inside:



It was $40 and I ordered it by calling WL private dining. I ordered it about 2 months before our dinner and called to confirm a week prior. They had remembered, but no one got word to our server (we also had a gift basket, which I'll post later). That was a bummer because we had to ask dd10 to "fake" a potty break and ask dd15 to take her so we could talk to our server in private. We saw that she had brought out the "complimentary" dessert for dd15 and wanted to stop her and tell her about the cake and gift basket before she gave the smaller one.

The whole thing was a surprise for dd. She was surprised and it all went great once we informed the server.

We had told the host & hostess and called to confirm like 3 times about the adr, the cake and the gift basket. We really couldn't have mentioned it to the server while eating as dd was there and we didn't want her to know.

The cake was good, but I discovered chocolate ganache is not my favorite (this was the first time I'd had it). I thought it had a strange after-taste. Everyone else loved it though! After our big dinner, we were not that hungry and only ate a small portion of the cake, but did bring it back to our room at Pop (where we used the fridge swap, which was great because the cake fit!). We had the rest of it for breakfast one morning, so we did manage to eat it all, but it was HUGE for 4 people!

It's the basic 6" chocolate with chocolate filling cake. I forgot to take a picture before we ate some, so you'll have to make do with the 'after' photo! There was a nice large chocolate icing flower, but we ate that first!

The cake was pretty good! DBF loved it and was very surprised!

If you want to see what you can order at your resort, just call their main number and ask for in-room dining and they can tell you what they have to offer. Most deluxes have their own bakery that do all sorts of nice things!

I called Boardwalk to arrange a delivery of the white chocolate Mickey and strawberries and it was great! I'm sure AKL can do something great for your anniversary!

I did get the 20% discount for the DDE card. It was delicious and I thought the Mickey head confetti was a cute touch. There were only the 2 of us, so they boxed it up and kept it at the restaurant until we got ready to leave the park.

Our waitress had it timed so that Eeyore, who is my sister's favorite character was at our table when the cake was brought out. It was very special and memorable. My sister had no idea what was on her cake since I wouldn't tell her and she loved it. Crystal Palace did a great job with the cake!

[Simba's Mom]

I've seen lots of birthday cakes here, but no birthday cakes. And we're staying at a resort that doesn't have in-room dining, OKW. So where would our best bet be for ordering an anniversary cake? And do they deliver or do we pick it up?

[doodle]

Wow zurgswife - Thanks for all your work to gather the info. I'm ready to order a cake............unfortunately, I don't know when we'll be in Disney again. Oh well, it's fun to dream!!

[magicmouse2]

I would like to get a cake at the California Grille ? a 6 inch one would be fine has anyone done this ? Also what about Spoodles ?
