Hi all. I'm working on the LTT review now. Should be up in a few hours. Not feeling very well, so everything is slow going at the moment.
Thanks! I especially liked the gold dust as well. I'll definitely take my pics and experience and post them in that thread when I get a chance. My DIS time right now is pretty much focused on these reviews. I wanted to get them finished quickly due to the rule, and the fact that I leave for another trip very soon!
The price is really horrifying, and I agree that part of it is probably not wanting to have a huge demand for cakes. Other part is most people are a bit of a captive audience. If you want a cake, you either get it from them in some form or trek out to a grocery store. Believe me, we can't afford cakes like this either, usually. Usually we spend between $15-$20 on birthday or Mother's Day cakes. It just counted as part of my birthday present, and also factored into our food budget. This was the second and probably last time I'll ever be in WDW on my birthday. It's fun, but twice was enough for me. Miss seeing other family back home.
Don't think it does much of anyone good to say "You will all love this!" when I know full well some people won't. Like with Chefs-- I love it, but if someone hates noise, I say skip it and go to Bistro.
In general, I'm the type to praise or criticize Disney as I see fit; pretty balanced in that regard, I think. Despite the amount of money the Mouse nabs from my wallet, I am no shill for Disney.
I hope you do get to try it! Lots of different options, so everyone should be able to find something they like! Thanks for reading!
I think actually by just replying you're subscribed. That's how it used to be, unless they recently changed that. In which case, I'm behind the times! Not able to be on here as much as I used to be.
Thank you for taking the time to read it! Sorry it's taken so long. Between family emergencies and computer problems and photobucket issues, this has become a far more complicated project than I ever anticipated.
Great reviews. I love the gold pixie dust on the castle. You should post your cake pictures on the cake chatter thread. People would love to see pictures of your beautiful cake over there and to hear about your ordering experience.![]()

I was going to whine about wanting a cake like that for my birthday...until I saw the price! Holy, moly! I'm not a fantastically talented cake decorator, but, given a castle mold I could make the whole cake for under $10. I guess their prices are meant to control the level of demand. Sigh. I wish I were one of the fine folk who can afford to spend that on a cake! It was beautiful!

Thanks for reading!Great reviews.![]()
Glad it was helpful to you! As much as I love Disney, I aim to be honest about everything. As much as Pixie Dust is fab, I realize not everyone likes the same variety!Oo, I like your description of the Tonga Toast. So many people praise it, but you were so descriptive about it that I know now without ordering it that I would NOT like it. Some reviews make it seem as if everyone in the world will enjoy it, but you're very honest about it, and I appreciate that!

Just found your thread. Gotta get caught up.
EoS looks very good. Might have to try it on the upcoming trip!
