Cake Question

[Swimalie]

We are celebrating our son's 5th birthday next Tues while eating dinner at CRT. We just want the small cake they offer. Do we need to call ahead or can we tell them when we get there?

Any specialty cake needs to be ordered in advance. 24-48 hours is plenty. You can call dining reservations and request it.

There is a standard Celebration cake you can ask for when you check in at the podium. You can also special order any cake by calling 407 827 2253

Thanks. We're going with the standard. He'll get a 2nd cake at home when he has his birthday party so we're not going overboard with the one at Disney.

Here is the birthday cake I got for my daughter's third birthday.

Price: 47 dollars including tax.

Date Received: March 9, 2010

Location: Carried it out from Boardwalk Bakery

Cake info - Flavors, special requests, etc: It was a 10 inch cake, chocolate with chocolate buttercream, with regular buttercream frosting. Even though it has some special features (pink, custom writing), they gave me the standard price on the basis that it is "just tinted pink." I think the chef worked a nice deal for me by doing that. It tasted good.

Anything else special about that particular cake: Although I originally wanted fondant, I read on the dis boards that it doesn't taste very good. I was worried that the more detail I asked for, the less likely I would be able to afford a cake at all. So I decided to keep my requests simple, basically to beg for pink. She really wanted a pink cake. I said. "can you maybe write Happy Birthday Julia on it?" and he said sure. I told him I had my own cake topper because I couldn't afford one from Disney. I brought this cake topper you see in the photo, an Ariel snow globe. I got it for 8 bucks at the Disney Store before our trip. Snow globes cannot go in carry on luggage but they are permitted in checked luggage.

The trickiest part of getting a cake is having any room in your stomach to eat it. I have to admit the cake was huge and we hardly ate any of it. My little daughter loved the cake but wasn't really hungry and was overwhelmed in general by being at Disney World in the first place. Nevertheless I am glad I got it because I've got the photos and she can build memories of this celebration by looking over the scrapbook for years to come.

I would like to post photos but when I try, I am rejected because it says I haven't posted enough yet.

I guess you can see it at my blog mountain mom report. Or maybe somebody can tell me how to post it here. Thanks.
