Ok, I think I finally figured out how to upload my picture. This is a cake we ordered from the Beach/Yacht Club Private Dining for DD's 13th birthday on July 6th. We had it delivered to our Illuminations Cruise and we had no problems with the delivery. What little we had of it was delicious(we all had a very small piece on the cruise and when we got back to the room my mom decided she wanted some more and dropped the cake on the floor along with breaking the Minnie
). The Minnie on top was white chocolate that was painted with food coloring. My daughter as well as the rest of us thought the cake was more than we could have asked for! They did a wonderful job! Sorry the picture is blurry but it is the best I could get, DH took the pictures!
Here it is:

You can get it in yellow, chocolate, and white and they gave me several different choices for fillings. I am not sure what you mean by special decorations, do you mean on the cake or on our cruise? We just told them we wanted a Minnie cake, we just left it up to them. As far as the cruise, they had the boat decorated with balloons but I didn't ask for them. It was very nice!
The kicker is, we will be staying at the YC this trip, so I am so happy to hear that you ordered it from YC/BC Private Dining. 
trying to find someone who would do a custom cake, the guy at the yacht/beach private dining took pity on me. He transferred me to Darren in the back and he is the one who set it up for me. The day after we got the cake, I called them back and wanted to thank whoever did the cake and they told me that Jesse Rodriguez was the one who made the cake. I sent him an email to thank him. I wish the pictures had come out better so you could see all the detail, it truly was beautiful. It was a 10 in. cake and the total was $102($80+tax and gratuity). I thought the cake was worth it, it's too bad we only ate about 1/4 of it before my mother dropped it.
They said they were supposed to get the stuff for it sent to them from another location and it didn't show up. It was pretty and tasted very good, but I was really disappointed. The manager apologized but stated that special requests are just that -- requests.
I know when I called on Monday to thank the chef that made it, they knew exactly which cake I was talking about. I don't see why there would be a problem making a Mickey cake. I didn't have to take my own plates, etc. they delivered a bunch with the cake to the cruise. The captain of the boat was the one who cut the cake(make sure you tell them you want big slices
and I had to keep telling her "bigger" each time she cut it! There were 9 of us and we didn't even get through 1/4 of the 10 inch cake! This came into play later as soon as we got back to the room my mom decided she wanted a "real" piece of cake and ended up dropping the whole cake on the floor, breaking Minnie.
I felt so bad for DD because she wanted to save the Minnie and bring it home with us and grandma broke it. She was very mature about the whole thing even though I know it broke her heart. Sorry, I got off topic! Anyway, the cake cost me $102($80 for the cake + tax and gratuity). I thought, however, it was well worth it. Last question, no we were not allowed candles but all 5 of the Illuminations Cruises plus the people on the bridge above in Epcot sang her "Happy Birthday". It was truly a magical night. I hope it works out for you!
