Cakes

Has anyone gone through the Disney cake ordering procedure? If you do not mind could you please explain where you order it from, what type you ordered (like podium with a name on it), what u thought of the quality of the cake such as taste or appearance, and a ball park figure of the final cost (if u do not mind).
Much Appreciation for your feedback:mickey:

I have ordered a couple of cakes. The podium cake was the simplest. I asked at the desk when we got there. It was fine.Nothing special. I think they are currently about $21.

Last October I ordered a custom cake from the Grand Floridian Bakery for my son's birthday and had it served at 1900 Park Fare. Here are two pictures of it

To order I called the Grand Floridian Bakery (google- custom cakes Disney and you will find a site with all the numbers) Certain bakeries service certain location. You need to make sure the location out want is available.

I left a message for the cake coordinator. She called me back and we discussed the details. I left most of the design up to her. We then emailed a couple of times to confirm the details.

We were very happy with the cake. It was a 6 in round and was more than enough for the 5 of us. We snacked on it for a couple of days. It was $55 with butter cream frosting. Fondant increases the price substantially.

I am ordered another cake from the GF for my daughter's birthday next week by email. This time I am going with a mini 2 tier cake since we have having it at tea and do not want to deal with bringing leftovers back to our room. The bottom tier is 3 in round. It is $35 covered with butter cream.

Hope this helps.

I've ordered two cakes in the past. I don't know the number, but I called a "cake hotline" number to place my order a few weeks before our trip.

The first cake was for my and DH's 10th anniversary. I ordered a yellow cake with fresh strawberries and custard filling. I had the cake decorated in white and black with just a bit of red. I didn't ask for specific decorations other than the colors I wanted and for it to say "10th Anniversary" somewhere on the cake, I left the rest up to the baker. The cake was amazing, and very pretty. I had that one delivered to Yachtman Steakhouse. I believe the cost was around $50.

The second cake I ordered was for my son's 9th birthday. For that one I ordered a chocolate Mickey head cake. That one was delivered to Whispering Canyon Cafe, and cost around $40. That cake was also amazing, super moist!

I was very satisfied with both cakes, and thought the pricing was decent.
