Hi i am hoping to make my ADR's this week, it is my fathers birthday & my DF & i are getting married too, i have read on this board that you can order a cake (with castle on top) & a chocolate Mickey (wearing tuxedo - i think) with tuxedo strawberries.
Can anyone tell me how or if i can order these (we are staying at ASM) we are hoping to eat at California Grill so could we order them for there or any other way???
Thanks Tracey

If you call and make your ADR and tell them you'd like to order a special cake they will give you the direct # to the CR dining staff. Hope you have a great trip.

PS those strawberries are to DIE for!!!

I could be wrong, but I do know for sure that the Grand Floridian has a bakery that takes orders, for their restaurants, and they do amazing work - and it tastes great too!!


So I would make an adr at a Grand Floridian Restaurant, even if its just 1900 Park Fair and then when you call the bakery you give them your adr number, and you leave a credit card for confirmation (it wont be charged until you receive, or you cancel w/o notification)

I ordered an extra special birthday cake at LTT , and it was horrible, it was a "standard" cake that had been frozen, the icing falls off when it thaws, they dont put your name or anything special on it, but they do charge you the $12 or $16 for it - not worth it imho...

Contemporary Resorts Calif. Grill Restaurant it is a "fancier" place, if you have the Dining Plan its 2TS, but they did give us a really nice bday surprise, with chocolate bar that says congrats...

Good Luck!

The price ranges. For what you want I would say it would be between $60-75 for that cake. Yes you can order cheaper ones. The cheapest one is $12.50. It's a standard 6" round cake w/ Mickey on it. It is genaric however and it's okay tasting not the best though. The cupcakes they give you (free of charge) for a celebration taste MUCH better. If you call and talk to them they will beable to give you ideas and prices.
As for the strawberries I ordered them for my DGM on our last trip and the plate of 6 w/ a chocolate Mickey cost me $35. It seems a lot of 6 strawberries but it was COMPLETELY worth every penny!!!

Also someone started a thread about birthday cakes and pictures of the ones people have ordered. You could do a search to find it. There are some really nice cakes there. You might get some good ideas.

Thanks everyone
One last question -
Would i be able to order these when i check in (check in Thursday hoping for ADR following Tuesday or Wednesday) or do you recommend i do it in advance when i make my ADR's?
I would be sooo lost without this site & all the wonderfull people on here

 

[wdwholic1206]

When you make your ADR they will give you the phone to call and tell you you need to order it at least 48 hours in advance.
I ordered one for my DD (during our trip) on Sat. for an ADR on Wed. It was fine.
Hope you have a great time.
