I can't believe people pay over $100. for an 8 inch cake! To me no cake is worth that.
Well good for you!

Can someone help me. I will be ordering a cake for my sisters birthday in October to be delivered at the contemporary.
How much is the delivery fee, if there is one?
Do you prepay for the cake or pay at dinner?
Thanks.
There is no delivery fee if you have the cake at a restaurant. You give them a credit card when you order the cake, but they put the cake on your dinner bill.
Has anyone ordered a cake for the Illuminations cruise? Would I just call the cake hotline?
I thought I read about the TIW discount on the cake but want to confirm that the cake will be billed to us at HDDR and then gets the usual TIW discount and added tip. Is that correct?
You can, but it's easier to call the number for private dining at the Yacht & Beach Club directly. It is in Post #2 of this thread.
Yes.
I want to do an 8 inch custom podium cake, but how custom can I go? I'm looking at the vanilla cake with custard and strawberries with whipped cream on the outside. The second post in this thread says it would be $35 but I don't really understand what kind of cake that would be? I see there are 2 pictures of 8inch cakes , one with flowers and one with like streamers on the edge, are those the only options?
Sorry to sound dim!
Okay so we have our trip planned for February 18th. We are going to be celebrating my birthday! On my actually birthday dinner there will be three of us, 4 at most. I am torn between doing a Lilo & Stitch themed cake or a thumper cake. Thumper has always been my favorite character but I am a bit weary of what the cake will look like. I have asked and they will do a Thumper cake but I am not sure what to expect! Does anybody have any advice or pictures of Lilo, Stitch, or Thumper cakes? Also prices. Thank you!!
Hello! I was contacted by the Contemporary Fine Dining by email and then by phone. I placed the cake order by phone with the Cake Hotline. They did not take any information from me except for my name, of course, and where I will be staying. She stated that I will be charged for the cake when I pick it up at Trails End Buffet. Should I be worried?

Hello everyone!! Just a quick question. If you were on the dining plan, would you still go ahead and order a special cake? The thing is, we get the desserts included, but I would love something a little extra special but dont want to over do it!! It is just DH and me by the way so its not like I could order a sheet cake lol!! What are your thoughts on this??
So Excited! Just got email from Brian at Contemporay saying they could do the cake I requested - a 6", all buttercream, green and yellow for colors, with a cupcake on top and 3D "16" for DS birthday. Quoted $53. It's for Monday at HDDR. We had a cake a couple years back that he had done and it was fantastic but much more elaborate . I am really looking forward to surprising my DS!
I will of course post a back as soon as we get back!
No, it's OK - it's a totally confusing process and there are almost no standard options. The pictures you saw are standard options at the Magic Kingdom only. Everyplace else, it's really pastry chef's choice on the decorations unless you specify something.
"Podium cake" refers only to the 6-inch all-chocolate or all-vanilla cakes you can walk up and order on the spot at a restaurant podium. What you want is a custom cake, which has to be ordered 48 hours in advance. They will decorate it in a generic, supermarket style similar to those MK cakes unless you are very specific with what you want. I always find a photo online and send it to them, modifying it if necessary, so they can be absolutely certain what I'm after.
