Wow have I been on a cake hunt !
Dh and I decided we wanted a cake for when we informally renew our vows during our trip in Sept. I wanted one like one I saw posted on here which I knew came from the GFB. And since I read so many times that they won't deliver to other resorts or restaurants I booked a lunch for our party at Citricos yesterday.
Yesterday when I called the GFB and explained the cake I was looking for she put me threw to Linda who would be able to handle what I was asking for.
Well today Linda called me back and confirmed that we had to be having a meal at one of their restaurants or staying there and have it delivered to our room. So I was thankful I had booked that lunch !
I explained what we wanted and how many people we would have. She figures the cake is too small as is for our party. It's only a 6 in wedding topper she said.
So she is going to talk to the Executive Chef and see how much it would be to make it a bigger cake. With the White Fondant with Silver Mickey Heads on the Fondant and the Mickey and Minnie Bride and Groom white chocolate topper.
We asked for Marble Cake with Strawberry Mousse filling.
The 6 inch is 80.00 with the topper so I'm guessing it will be close to 100.00 for the larger cake. She did offer to put the topper on any cake but I have my heart set on the White Fondant with the Silver Mickey Heads.
So she is calling me tomorrow with a price.
I already have a cake ordered for our dinner that night at Ohana's and I'm thinking now that I should switch it to another night like our first night there at Chef Mickey's. |
I called to do that and the lady didn't seem to know much about what they could do. She didn't know if they even did toppers.
I told her I wanted an 8 in with Vanilla Cake, Chocolate Mousse Filling, and Chocolate Butter Cream frosting. She offered the picture toppers. I told her I wanted the White Chocolate Tigger Topper instead of a picture one. She said she would talk to the Chef tomorrow and see if they do that and if they do how much it would cost. And asked if I wanted anything else on the cake or just the topper plopped on it LOL I said what ever he wants to do to make it nice as long as it has a Tigger Topper.
She asked if we wanted a picture one if they don't do the toppers and I told her if they can't do the toppers than I would call one of the other restaurants we are going to to get a cake with the topper there instead. But she is going to check for me and call me tomorrow.
I'm so stinking excited about the cake from the GFB !!!!!!

) It was absolutely amazing, quite possibly the best cake I've ever had! The pics really don't do it justice. The strawberry & custard filling was absolutely perfect, not too sweet and very fresh - well worth having to order the bigger cake. The cake cost $40 plus tax and gratuity, for a grand total of $49.80.
) but I was curious if someone had seen or gotten one that was particularly cute that I should look out for. My son turns 2 right before we leave so we're having his big birthday party a couple days before but we also wanted to pick one night while we're there to do something extra special. He just LOVES his Mickey so it definately has to be a Mickey cake. We're either doing it for our dinner at the GF or maybe our dinner at Chef Mickey. I assume it's different bakeries for each (I know the GF has their own bakery) so my other question is...is one bakery better than the other/does anyone have a preference? I think it would be super cute to have his Mickey cake at the dinner where he'd get to see Mickey but if the GF bakery does a better cake then having it during that dinner would work too. Especially since my little flirt likes to smile at Cinderella.
