I read and heard from cm that no more custom cakes to magic kingdom. But the mickey head cakes and mickey dome cakes are available. Plus podium cakes too...the basic chocolate or vanilla. We are going in a few weeks and though we are spending the day at MK, we decided to have dinner at Contemporary Resort's The Wave restaurant. CR does offer custom cakes and will deliver to their restaurants. And after dinner we plan to walk over to MK. So CR may be an option for you if you are looking for something custom.
Thank you!! I was hoping it wasn't true. Maybe we could try a restaurant at one of the MK resorts like you suggested and do BOG on our 2nd day at MK or just go to AK. I like the Mickey dome cakes but I think we wanted to get one of the Mickey head shaped cakes that's $50 or so. We had that last year on my husband's birthday and it was great!
Thanks again!
Well, I"m going to send the email on my son's birthday cake today. I hope I'm giving enough detail.
Are people still being told that only 8-inch and bigger cakes can be customized? I'm waffling on what to say about size. I think 6 inches is plenty for the six of us, but...
It depends on the bakery and sometimes the design. Sounds like Boardwalk is requiring an 8 inch minimum, but we've always had 6 inch cakes from the Contemporary. I don't believe that has changed since our last cake in December.

OK! I received a very prompt email reply this morning, saying that they could do a 6-inch cake with a flat-image of Goofy on top for $38 or a 3D white chocolate gold-accented Goofy figure on top for $58. I replied asking if the 3D one could be done in colors -- I'll report back when I get a response.
Fine time to ask, but am I right in thinking a 6-inch cake will be plenty for six people, especially since we're leaving the next day? I've heard even that size is bigger than it sounds!
If it's the white chocolate figures I'm thinking of, they can be painted but I think it's pretty pricey.
We had a 6 inch cake for 5 people and had a decent amount left over, so I think you'll be fine!
Looking for some advice:
If I want a 6 inch custom vanilla cake with bavarian creme or white chocolate filling and fresh strawberries, where is my best shot at having that made? I am extremely flexible with options as we will be there for 2 weeks in March.
The Mickey Mouse head cake is still listed on the first page as an available option for Magic Kingdom. It's considered a standard cake not a custom so I believe this is still offered. The special desserts, podium cake, and the newer chocolate or white chocolate Mickey heads are the only other options.
