Official Cake Chatter Thread

[Praise2Him]

Obviously a teen is (cough, cough ) more "sophisticated" and he doesn't particularly care for the "cutesy" type themes being a "regular guy", but I'd like to have a little bit of a sweet treat to acknowledge this milestone!

Anybody out there with any design ideas? We have dinner planned at YSH

We celebrated my DH's birthday at ESPN Club during football season, so I asked for a football design. They told me that it had to be "Disney" (which was fine by me), so I said, "Maybe Mickey holding a football". And that's what they did.

Does he have any favorite sports, or Disney movies? Or maybe his favorite character? Or since it's for graduation, maybe use his school colors? I like ugadog99's idea of graduation Mickey too!

I (20) am taking my sister to Disney for her 12th birthday. We are dining at 1900 PF for the big day. I want one of those mini castle cakes but with two teirs like the mini wedding cakes. Can this be done? Also, would it be possible to get pink fordant/icing instead of white?

Maybe I am being unrealistic!

Also, would I call the cake hotline of the GF bakery?

Yes, call the cake hotline. I think that sounds doable (and very pretty) - I'd definitely ask and see what they can do for you!

If you're looking for something small for each of them, Disney has these new little cakes called mini celebration cakes. They come in this princess treasure looking box and look adorable! There's also a pirate one for boys! Here's a link :

DH and I plan to have dinner with our boys at the Hoop Dee Doo the night of our anniversary....Can we have a cake delivered there? We are not wild about the dessert there anyway.

Never mind...I found it

Yes, you can! Just call the cake hotline (# is on the first page of this thread).

That sounds about right, $45 for the cake itself and the Mickey is like $35, so there's $80. Add tax and the automatic 18% gratuity and you'r in the ball park. A 10 inch cake is huge though, we had 7 people eat ours at two meals and I still had tons to give away.

Isn't that wild for a cake....lol. We paid $25 last year and it was a horrible cake, so I am hoping that by ordering something special it will be fresh and good. The CM said the cake will feed 16 and there will be 6 of us . We will be eating cake for breakfast for a few days......... The cake you ordered was beautiful.

I am surprising my parents with an Illuminations Cruise. They haven't been to the world since '76. There will be 7 of us. My mom cannot have strawberries. Anyone have ideas for something to have on the cruise that would be doable??

This one was for my son's 6th birthday...
Liberty Tree Tavern - Jan 2008
Chocolate butter cream with yellow cake
Don't remember the price or size - maybe about $40 - $45
There were 7 of us, and there was plenty left over...

In January 2008, we celebrated my father's 70th birthday with a fireworks cruise on the Grand One. We ordered cake, coffee and soda and had the yacht decorated. This was a surprise & a splurge....well worth it!

The cake was from the Grand Floridian.
* I think it was whipped cream. The filling was strawberries and custard. Very yummy! There was 12 of us and we had plenty left over.
I don't remember the price...sorry.

Has anyone tried these cakes or know how much they cost? I am wanting to do something for ds on his birthday and the pirate cake looks interesting. I don't want anything too big or elaborate, just something special for his b-day.

We have one on order for next month (the princess version). When I added it to the ADR they said the cost is $15.

Thanks for the info. I hope your dd enjoys it!

Hi everyone,

Just want your opinions on a decision I have to make. I want to surprise my 2 dd's with a slipper desert. We are dining for breakfast at CRT and also at 1900 Park. I think I would like to order the slipper at CRT since it is earlier in our trip but I am a bit hesitant because it is breakfast time. Has anyone ordered it for breakfast? How did it go?

We could get it at 1900 we are going there for dinner but it is our very last night at WDW. I don't know what to do.

What do you guys think?

Breakfast at CRT or 1900 Park Fare for Dinner on our last day?

Thanks~

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:

We have one ordered for my DD's bday in the beginning of May. (Princess version as well).

Would love to see what people thought of it also!?!

I saw some real pics on the old Cake Thread II. Looks nice, and sounds great at $15 plus tax and tip!

Here is the link to a couple pics of the cakes on the old thread. Both Princess and Pirate are shown.

Thanks for the links. I will definately be ordering the pirate cake for my ds @ Chef Mickey's!

I was not going to celebrate DS's first birthday in disney since we are there 2 weeks early, but realized, thats silly-just do it.(I wanted to be thereon his 1st, but couldnt)
So if I call back, do I just order the cake from ADR? What will they do if anything? Do I need to call now for May? What are cake choices?
I am ok with cake and candles and I have a 1st birthday crown for him. But thought it would be great to have the pics and memories of his first cake there. I have Crystal palace booked for dinner and chef mickeys for breakfast(so not thinking cake at 10am) so would do it at CP.
