Here is the Redhead Cake that I had made for my mom's birthday.
Details:
8inch Vanilla cake with strawberry fruit mousse
Red fondant with roses and a chocolate screen print of the Marc Davis art of the redhead from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride (idea courtesy of lurkyloo
)
Taste was excellent!
It was created by Crystal, a pastry chef at the Y&BC
Cost:
$85 plus tax, put on TiW (didn't want it to be, but the server did anyway so she got a better tip...we were going to tip more anyway because she was really good, but once we saw that she got the extra tip on the cake, we decided not to).
Ordering Process:
This was very stressful. I didn't want to order to far in advance so I called the private dining line for the Y&BC on Dec 31 and spoke to Johanna. Because this cake was hard to explain, she had me send an email, which I did right away with pictures and a full explanation of what I was wanting.
I followed up after the holiday weekend to make sure she got the email and was told that they had to send for approval to use the picture and she would contact me when she heard something.
I waited 4 days and emailed her to check on the status. She did not respond.
I emailed her on the Monday we arrived (Jan 12) to tell her we were at the Beach Club and could she please let me know what was going on and also that I would not be at home so not to call there. No response.
I called the private dining line the next morning and was told by someone else that they were still waiting on approval. I explained that I needed this cake by Saturday. The girl told me she would look into it personally and call me back.
No call.
I called the next afternoon and spoke to Yamira who told me that they were still waiting on approval. I was getting frustrated at this point and said that I had been waiting 2 weeks for an approval. She told me it can take up to 30 days to get an approval.
I nearly lost it. I explained that someone yesterday morning said they were going to look into personally and call me back and they never did.
She placed me on hold for about 5 minutes and came back and said they had the approval for the picture AND the saying "We Wants the Redhead!" which I didn't know they needed.
Now, I didn't even know how much this cake would be because they hadn't sent it to the bakery. I had to call back the next afternoon to get that. Now I was worried the cake would be $150!
When I called I was told Johanna had called and left a message about the cake. She called my home phone.... Needless to say I wasn't pleased with the service from Johanna.
All was well, got the quote and the cake was awesome.
Now, for some pictures!
The details of the roses and leaves were amazing and made of gum paste.
My mom kept the picture and most of the roses and the goblet with 'gold' chocolate coins
All I had asked for was the red fondant, roses and the 'drapes' to look like the slip under the skirt. Crystal did an amazing job in adding the extra details and I will be sending off an email to Disney about her.

. How long in advance do these things need to be ordered? For a cake for CRT does it need to be ordered from CRT? I saw someone post the picks of the princesses on top of the cakes, anyone know if they had Elsa/Ana?
