I wanted to surprise my husband with a cake to commemorate our first trip to Pandora at Animal Kingdom. The Yacht & Beach Club pastry team was extremely easy to work with. I just called the number in Post #2, which is a dedicated line for placing cake orders, and they took down my requests. A few days later I got a call back confirming what the pastry team was able to do.
As is usual these days, they said they couldn't do anything officially Pandora- or
Avatar-related, including screen prints. Which was fine because I'd actually requested, "No screen prints!"
Instead, I asked for an "exotic/alien jungle look" with a big tree and a light-up element and just let them run with that instead of submitting a sketch. I called a few days before to confirm, and they read me back my request in detail (including "no screen prints!"). The only hitch was that the cake never showed up at the time I'd requested, and I had to call Private Dining to ask for it.
Forgive the volume of photos—I couldn't get over how detailed the cake was!
