No...the decorations on a cake like that are usually made from something called fondant or gum paste...those are basically play-doh for cake decorators...or sometimes they are made from chocolate. Some of the other stuff might be royal icing. That stuff dries rock hard and is waaaaaaaaay to sweet to eat!
Someone ask for cake? This was ours...
Thanks Kim! If memory serves me correctly (it was 5 years ago and sometimes I have trouble with last week
) all of the cakes are done by the chefs at the bakery at the Grand Floridian. Now I don't need to test my memory for this -- I put all of my budget notes into a spreadsheet so I know what the cost was 5 years ago: even though we only had 48 people (and some were babies that couldn't have cake!), you had to buy a minimum of 50 pieces at $9.50 each plus $1.90 gratuaties for each slice and all of that was not including tax. The actual cake before serving it was $505.88 after tax, which I didn't think was bad considering how much work went into it! If anyone is interested in a Disney wedding or vow renewal and wants to see our budget, I don't mind sharing - just let me know (and be warned that the prices probably have gone up in the past few years 
)
How many people do they consider a group???
Lori - Good news! You can do the Living Seas and YOU design the menu to whatever YOU want. There wasn't a menu that had what we were really wanting for our day and I read a wedding recap that something I saw that I liked so I gave it over to our wedding planner and she gave it to the executive chef at Epcot and he made it happenI had planned out a vow renewel for our 10 in 2012. We'd do it during F&WF since that's our favorite. An early ceremony somewhere, then a cocktail hour/reception at Coral Reef's VIP Lounge(hate their food, but love the aquariums) and dessert/illuminations party at UK with a Rosa Regale toast. Not very many people, maybe 30-40. With favor bags that had a little something representing the countries in Epcot.
Yeah, then I priced it. I could meet up with same said friends and still give them their goodie bags, buy a round for us all while touring F&WF, and buy Rick and I new car!
But it was fun to plan!
(Our wedding in 2002 was $2000-the bare minimum-and included a spa day for Rick and I both!)
If you decided you wanted to do your own "food and wine festival" for your reception, they could do it for you! They rock!!! And the Living Seas space is AWESOME!!!! But the best part is the dessert party in the UK -- talk about a way to end a day with MAGIC!!! Your guests will talk about it YEARS later. The very best part about Disney is they have something for everyone - I didn't think we had enough people for a DJ so we had a caricature artist and that turned out FANTASTIC! Now come on, where else but a Disney wedding are you going to a wedding and coming home with your very own caricature? Some people are in to the fancy dancy stuff but that just isn't us....We just wanted everyone to have a great fun time.
