Suggestions for when and from where to order a birthday cake?

[Abra Cat]

Hi-- we're planning a trip for mid September, and will be at WDW for my youngest son's 4th birthday. We celebrated his birthday with a cake at dinner at Chef Mickey's last year, and celebrated his brother's birthday in December with a cake at dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe. Both of them really enjoyed the fuss.

So this year, we want to order a cake again, but I'm having a hard time figuring out when and where to order it. We wanted to have dinner at WCC on his birthday, but could only get a late lunch reservation (gonna keep checking for cancellations, though!), so we're planning to break up a day at the MK with a trip to WCC for lunch. When we were there for my other son's birthday, the restaurant's desserts sounded so good, we had them packed up to take back to the hotel (yes, for breakfast!), while we ate birthday cake for dessert. We'd like to do something similar this time, but we'll be going back to MK after lunch, and keeping the desserts fresh would be a problem (we're staying at POR-- too far to make a detour and stick them in the fridge). We're just doing counter service for dinner that night, so we won't be able to order a cake with dinner. I don't want my son not to have a birthday cake on his birthday, so I was thinking about ordering from the POR bakery, assuming this is a possibility. What do y'all think? Has anyone ordered a cake to be waiting in their hotel room? I would think this would be easy enough at a deluxe, but I'm not sure about a moderate. Or do you have another suggestion as to when or where to order one?

Thanks in advance, and I hope I haven't made this too convoluted to understand!

YOu can ask at POR bakery as they certianly have good deserts....
Your other option would be the Boardwalk Bakery at the Boardwalk Hotel (I know other resorts and places will do this as well) as far as delivery I am not sure from any of them I believe you need to pick it up but I am sure Disney will do anything if the $$ is right.

There is a sticky at the top of this page with all the contact information. The OP did alot of information gathering and others have posted pictures of their cakes.

Yes, thank you, that thread was helpful the previous two times I've ordered cakes at WDW, but I was also looking for some suggestions regarding the timing of when and where to have birthday cake, not only contact information.
