Birthday cake at Disney Restaurants?

[thf913]

Has anyone ever ordered a personalized birthday cake at one of the WDW restaurants? We are arriving on Dec. 10th, which will be DS #2's 4th birthday. We are having dinner at Chef Mickey's that night and I was wondering about ordering one of their cakes. How big are they? Are they worth the cost?

We celebrate DS6 Birthday every year at CM. We always have a cake, but it doesn't come from the restaurant or the resort unless you want a standard cake. If you want a personalized cake, call the Cake Line at 407 827 2253. We order either an 8 inch round which serves our family of 4 quite nicely with leftovers. You can order several different size cakes and several different batters and icings. Since CM has really good desserts, this last year we had the cake delivered to our room at KV and had it for breakfast. Either way, we enjoy it even though it's a little pricey. It's one of the things that's now tradition in our family, so the cost is built in. Enjoy!

I have ordered a cake for DD's 7th birthday. We did ours at Ohana. I ordered about 30 days in advance. You can get a small cake which you won't be able to personalize or a bigger size which you can personalize and pick fillings and designs. Here are links with all the info you will need and pictures:

Thanks. That really helps! I will give the cake hotline a call! I looked through the cake thread but there are so many posts I couldn't find a picture of a birthday cake from Chef Mickey's. Can they do different characters?

They can do a character that you choose. I think they can do almost any one that you pick, however, it has to be the bigger cakes. The smallest 6 inch cakes cannot be customizable. My DD got a Snow white cake with dark choc. mousse filling. When I got to the restaurant, I just told them at the podium and it was delivered after our meal. The servers also sang happy birthday to my DD. Beware, the cakes can be pretty expensive. This cake cost me $60. Here is a pic:

Yes, the cake hotline will get you to the right location.....In 2009, we celebrated 4 different celebrations during a 10 day trip. I ordered 5 different cakes for 5 different restaurants. That is the first year that all the cakes but one tasted bad, or old. They just werent good. A huge surprise to me because we ordered 4 cakes in 2008, they were amazing. Don't know if they were just extra busy Sept 2009, or what. However, it was a real disappointment considering the money spent on cakes. They were beautiful though, absolutely beautiful. I have never really read many bad reviews so I guess we were there when the chef was on vacation. lol, He must have prepared our cakes before he left. I hope the cakes we order soon will meet my expectations. I know Disney has good cakes, especially the Grand Floridian. From my experience, GF has the best!!! Enjoy your Magical celebration!!
