) got on the line. He was so helpful. I explained that we wouldn't be checking in until 9/21 so I didn't know my room number yet, but wanted the cake delivered to the room. I told him I would really like it waiting in the room for us when we arrived, but I had heard that wasn't possible (to have it delivered before check-in) he said no problem...I just had to choose what time I wanted it delivered and it had to be after 11am (because of check-out from the night before). I think we will be there about 7:30pm to check-in so I asked for it to be delivered around 7:00pm. There was no problem. I gave him my ressie number and name, he made notes about the whole order, and indicated on the note for the delivery person to call the front desk to get my room number so it will be waiting for me. 
DH and I are having a solo dinner for 10th anniversary, and we are leaving the girls w/my mom. We are going to Raglan Rd. Apparently this place has no affiliation w/Disney (per the bakery 800#) even though it is in Pleasure Island, and I was told to call the restaurant directly and ask them about ordering a cake for us (it will be a surprise for DH). My question, if I have to make ADRs thru Disney dining, why can't I order a cake thru the bakery at Disney?
Your thoughts??
I just had a piece tonight.
Here's our Pirate theme cake! We had it delivered to our table at 1900 Park Fare (GF cafe at the moment) for a late Supercalifragalistic Breakfast this past Sunday.
Everything was edible except the pearls.The treasure chest and the mast with the skull on it were made from gum paste (I think) and the rest of the items were either white chocolate or made from a hardened sugar...like the shells and the sand. The silver and gold coins were foil wrapped chocolate coins. Overall the cake LOOKED fantastic, it tasted ok. The chocolate ganache was so rich. The yellow cake was good, but the buttercream was um...not so good... it was made with a lot of shortening and not much sugar or butter IMHO, so that white part wasn't very sweet...and there was a TON of it. IMO, too much. I am not a professional pastry chef but I have made my fair share of cakes and buttercream frostings from scratch to give a good opinion, I feel. You couldn't eat too much of the cake or else it would make you a little pukey! LOL.
The cake was a yellow/vanilla cake with buttercream inside the layers and chocolate ganache on the outside. I might suggest LESS layers to anyone ordering this, because the way it was, we wanted more cake, but there was so much buttercream on the inside it took away from the cake. So 2 layers instead of 3 layers of the cake would be way better IMHO. The server put it onto the breakfast bill and I paid for everything usuing my Disney Dining Experience 20% off card, so I got that percentage off the cake.
We got it the day before we checked out, and just left it on the counter of our room. It got a little soft there but didn't completely melt. The Polynesian room fridge was just too small to accomodate this huge cake. When we checked out we asked the valet people (at the Poly) if they had a fridge and they did and so they put it in the fridge until we were ready to leave.

The cake was huge!! And my sweet baby boy loved it:
They told me I had to call room service at CSR to order it. I did and got a really sweet woman, but she really didn't know/understand, so she kept putting me on hold to check with someone else. Finally "Fidel" (like Castro he said
Called the cake hotline today to order a surprise cake for SO's 33rd birthday on 9/21. We are checking in that evening at CSR. I had read on here that you could have the cake delivered to your room (didn't want it at a restaurant, we are doing EPCOT EMH and didn't want to drag leftovers around). When I called the hotline I chose option 6 for the CSR resort, and then I was stumped...it only listed the restaurants, so I went back to the main menu and relistened to the whole thing. Finally I chose the option for the Maya Grill, to try to get directed to the right place. They told me I had to call room service at CSR to order it. I did and got a really sweet woman, but she really didn't know/understand, so she kept putting me on hold to check with someone else. Finally "Fidel" (like Castro he said
I chose the smallest cake (there is only 2 of us) and was given the following options at CSR:
-double chocolate
-strawberry
-carrot
-Oreo (I asked and he said it was a white chocolate cake with oreo bits)
-German Chocolate
I chose double chocolate and asked them to write "Happy Birthday Daryl."
I asked if I should call back to confirm the day before we are to arrive, he said I could if I wanted to but not to worry, he said he was the "room service manager" and he would make sure it was waiting for us when we arrive!!
Linda from GFB called today to say our 25th anniversary cake was at the bakery and she arranged it so I could pick it up there. Originally it was to be delivered to a wishes cruise on the 11th. But cruise was cancelled due to bad weather and we couldn't find the cake. We rescheduled everything for the next night but again the cruise was cancelled. Anyway, it was nice of Linda to call today so we could get the cake.
It's a white cake with white buttercream icing and a filling of custard & strawberries. I'd asked for something simple with peach roses. It's just beautiful and really delicious! DH & I each had a piece but the folks we were originally going to share it with have since left Disney. So there are about 10 pieces left and we leave Sunday.
Still it's a beautiful cake and I will order something similar next time.

Glad you finally got your cake! It looks stunning.
I've ordered a cake from the Boardwalk Bakery to collect on the day of our Wishes cruise. I'd read people had a few problems with the cake being delivered so decided to collect it. It's for my DBF and my friend's little girl's birthday. I told them to do something 'very Disney' so I can't wait to see what we get
This thread is wonderful!
