OMG!!! I want this now!! DS LOVES the monorail!! Are you getting it delivered to your resort, or to a dinner adr? CAN you get it delivered to a resort ADR???? We got an ADR at Kona for DH's birthday, and I planned on one cake for DH and DS, that would be PERFECT!!! Did you get your choice of fillings or colors?

We had a choice of chocolate, vanilla or marble cake and we choose the marble with buttercream icing. We are having it delivered to Chef Mickeys during our breakfast. I'll post pictures as soon as we get back!!!

Oh these cakes are all amazing. I shared the cake that I got for my husband on the DIS, from our 2007 trip. We never did get to taste it because we were just so stuffed that we never got around to it. We tried to save it by wrapping it and placing it in the cooler on our way home but it didn't work..it became a huge mess. We did keep the Mickey and Minnie toppers and they were yummy. ...And the memories...oh my!!

I'm going to hopefully be ordering a custom "10 cake for our lunch at Crystal Palace in a few days and I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions. It's my 3 nephews first trip and I wanted something with an edible image that said Welcome to Disney. But I'm not sure which character or colors, etc. If anyone can give me some recommendations that would be great and if someone posted some pics of welcome cakes even better.
Now, onto some questions. How much are the edible images? And since there's 7 of us I'm pretty sure they'll be left over cake, can the restaurant hold the cake left for us until we leave later that night?

Ok, and after reading all 10 pages, I am still confused.
Do I order a cake from the place we are eating? (crystal palace)
Do I order it ahead of time(I read 2 weeks, a few days, at podium...)
I am reading the quality of the cake not so good unless its from a bakery, like in GF? DO I have to order now, then go to GF myself to pick up a cake that day? Do they deliver to park restaurants?
Are there other options?
I would like a small cake for ds 1st birthday. I would love a baby mickey or something like that but mainly, I want a great tasting cake(for the costs I am reading here especially).
ETA- I found another cake thread and see a mickey Dome cake- has anyone had it? Size(feeds how many ppl?) and was it good and how can I get it?

If you are eating at Crystal Palace and want a cake for that meal, you'd call the cake hotline and order one or you could wait till you arrive and get the Sarah Lee ones that are available at the podium.

You cannot order a cake at GF and pick it up and they do not deliver. If you want a cake from the GF, you have to eat there.

Most Deluxe resorts have their own bakery for their guests. You can't go there and pick one up.

The only bakery you can pick up a cake from is the Boardwalk Bakery or the Magic Kingdom Main Street Bakery.

We're planning to celebrate my daughter's 10th b-day at Disney in Oct. She loves Mickey. I don't like the Mickey head cakes though. We're going to eat at CRT for her b-day meal (hopefully!) and I want to have a cake there. Any ideas for what kind of Mickey cake to do at CRT? Thanks!

thank you for the info, I appreciate you reply-
So all of these nicer looking cakes I see pictures of I cant get, right? The Sarah Lee cake is the plain with writing on top? If I order one from CP ahead, will it still be the same basic sarah lee? Can I bring one myself into CP from Main street bakery?
I dont want to get all excited for his first birthday cake in WDW and get a basic frozen cake with his name on it,kwim?

I just tried to read all the treads I could find about cakes.

I still feel so clueless! Our trip is May 2 to May 9th. We are celebrating our childrens bdays. It is there first time going to WDW. Our son is going to be 7 and our daughter is going to be 2. I wanted to do 1 cake for both of them. Any ideas? nothing too crazy its only 4 of us.

How funny - we are going for our kids b-day too and our oldest is going to be 7 and our youngest is going to be 2.....I am looking for the same type of cake for the 4 of us too!!!

Quoting myself to add...how much time before the date should I call for a custom cake?

You can try to get a nice custom cake for your meal at CP. You'd call the cake hotline and ask what they can do. It would help if you have some idea of what you are looking for.

They (MK) can do custom cakes but most of the really fancy ones are from the GF.

If you get a cake for CP, it's coming from the MK bakery.

The Sarah Lee cake is the cake you order at the podium. You should be able to get a nicer cake by calling the cake hotline ahead of time.

In defense of the Sara Lee cake, I found it to be far more moist and delicious than the whipped-cream covered EasyBake Oven-looking thing you get at the podium at restaurants outside the Magic Kingdom!

I am ordering a Cinderella or Snow White cake this year for Narcoossee's so we will see how that one goes I will try to have the Grand bakery make this one. The pink Minnie was for Julia's (my good friends daughter) 2nd birthday the princess cake will be for her 3rd this May.

 

[jm106]

thanks again, Ill call and see what I can get. If I cant get a nicer cake Ill wait for his birthday party when I get home. Its special since its his first.

We did the slipper dessert at breakfast at CRT this past November...it was wonderful! It was the perfect taste of sweetness after our breakfast (if that makes sense?). It was my daughter's 5th birthday and it was the perfect way to celebrate...a trip to BBB and then breakfast at CRT! In fact all 5 of us shared the dessert (not that it's huge, but it certainly hit the spot after a big breakfast). Here's some pics:

Thank you so much! Your adorable birthday girl looks like she is really enjoying it as well. Think I just might go ahead and order it for my girls. Our ressie is early 8:05 but heck it is vacation isn't it?
