I called Private Dining this morning for BC and now I am debating. We are going to celebrate my 40th Birthday and our 10th Anniversary and there will be 5 of us. My options are 5 Chocolate Covered Strawberries for $25 (or $50 with a White Chocolate Donald Duck) or a Marble 10 in cake with Fruit Mousse filling and Chocolate Ganache for $45. I am leaning towards the cake, but was wondering what the fruit mousse taste like? (what is the flavor)

I actually just got off the phone with Yacht Club Private Dining (BC & YC share I heard) and I asked what flavor the fruit mousse was...he said he believes it's strawberry. Hope that helps!

Thanks Jenn, I didn't think to ask when I was on the phone with them, it is a Monday and my brain is not working yet.

Maybe I have missed it somewhere in the thread but can anyone tell me if I can order a cake and pay for it ahead of time? We're making a visit soon that will be my daughter's first trip and also covers my wife's birthday so I'd like to surprise them both with a cake on our first night there at dinner. (Just don't want the wife to catch a whiff of the bill...my treat)

Shameless bumping of this question as I was curious too. We put in our CC# to Private Dining, but haven't finalized a price quote yet and was wondering if they will charge beforehand or charge the day we receive the cake. I would have imagined that they would add it to our bill for the Yachtsmen Steakhouse since we will be paying a tip on it as well?

You pay for the cake, along side your dining bill. It will actually be on a seperate check with an additional gratuity charge added to it.

Thank you!!

Do they make anything that you request? Disney wise? My nephew loves TRON and I wonder if they could do something like this. Is it best to just call and find out?

I see some amazing cakes on here but worry that if I did something like this it may go wrong! Lol

 

[kglenn]

there were some wonderful themed cupcake items from i believe a disney bridal show that lurkyloo put up on her site? or this thread? has anyone ordered one of these yet or attempted to??? less than 2 months and my fine details are ready to be worked out!

 

[jcondrad]

I'm so excited! I just finalized my cake order for our trip in 2 weeks. I worked with Kelly from the yacht club private dining and it was so simple! I emailed a a photo from the gallery, the Minnie topper in a garden of flowers and got the following price breakdown...
Cake 10" vanilla w/ white chocolate mouse filling and vanilla buttercream - $45
Fondant - $20
Decorations - $30
Gold tinted Minnie topper - $30

I'll let everyone know how the quote compares to the actual price in 2 weeks!

If you ask for a celebration cupcake they will bring this out.. free of charge =) We received ours at 1900 Park Fare at the GF and my mom got the same thing but with purple icing at CRT in MK. My friend just returned and got the same cupcake at Chef Mickeys.

They also have the mini surprise celebration cakes that cost $15 that you can order ahead of time or at the podium when you check in.
I originally ordered this for my daughter but we had late dinner ressies and by the time it was ready for her cake, they were out of them. So she was brought out the cupcake above with light up tink and buzz light year lol.

How do you order these in advance?

We are celebrating our son's 2nd birthday at the Cape May Cafe in 2 weeks. Will I be able to order the piped Mickey head cake? He loved the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show - so I think this is a good choice - although it serves 12 and there will only be 3 of us. LOL.

Also, do they supply birthday candles?

The Yacht & Beach Club Bakery.

Usually you have a choice of strawberry or raspberry.

It depends on the capabilities of the bakery that services the location where you get the cake, so it's best to call and ask.

How do you order these in advance?

You don't. The treasure chest cakes are reportedly no longer available. The birthday cupcake you just ask for when you get to the restaurant.

So far, I've only heard of the Contemporary doing the piped version of the Mickey Head Cake (and I would definitely be sure they know that's what you want). Every place else does ganache icing. Also, yes, they usually have at least one candle for you.

OK, I called the Grand Floridian to find out if they allow you to bring in a cake from the outside or if you HAVE to order one of their cakes. They told me that they will allow you to bring a cake in, but they will charge you a $25.00 cutting fee. Ouch, but I understand why. They reeeeeaaaaalllllly want you to purchase one of their cakes.

 

[kglenn]

i called and spoke with GF the other day and will be sending in a picture to get a quote... no fancy cupcakes just the mini's or next best a 6inch which i think will work well. i want it to be a green/blue rolled fondant look with a white starfish & shells... very ariel like we are celebrating my daughters 7th and i will be suprising her poolside at a cabana instead of a table service i'll update later in case it helps someone else out along the way :

Many Disney restaurants have this policy (some places only charge $2.50/person, though), but I would be verrrrrry surprised if your server actually charged you the fee—especially if you cut and served the cake yourself.

I am thinking perhaps she thought I meant a wedding cake (I did not specify it was a birthday cake). That would make much more sense for the cutting fee. I guess I will call back tomorrow and see if the fee is still the same if I cut it myself.

I ordered a cake to be delivered to our BLT villa for my brother's birthday. I spoke with Carolyn at the Contemporary & she was very nice!! The cake will have the 2 old guys from the Muppets on it (I forget their names....Waldorf & Statler?). She said it will probably have them sitting in the balcony. I was thrilled because I didn't know if they had any Muppets characters! I was quoted $65 for the 8 inch chocolate cake. Can't wait to see it!!!

 

[cakesnjammom]

I have questions regarding a mini wedding for a birthday. I know it says the cakes feed 1-2? If we are 2 adults / 2 kids is there enough for us to all get a small piece???
If eating at California Grill would I order it from the Contemporary?
If celebrating a 40th Birthday with 2 adults & 2 kids (ages 7 & 9) what restaurant would you recommend (outside the parks) for our celebration???
