If you did a mini with chocolate Mickey ears on top, price would be around $50
It’s a little over $37 with tax.

I ordered that exact cake from the GF, except in chocolate, and paid a little over $37 with tax. I’m excited to see how it turns out.
You ordered THIS exact cake and the GF only charged you $37 for it?!
Interesting, CR charged me $50. $35 for the cake and $15 for the ears.It’s a little over $37 with tax.

Has anyone ever encountered an 80s/90s style Epcot cake? This is an odd request, but it's weirdly what my fiancee and I love the most! I've attached photos for reference--how do we manage a classy cake that encompasses all this?!
Here are some of the cakes my guest has created for weddings while working at the Grand Floridian:

You guys might be interested in this week's episode of my Disney Wedding Podcast: I interviewed a cast member from the Grand Floridian's Wedding Cakes pastry team, and she shares all kinds of great information about how to get the cake you want at a price you can afford!
However, one thing I learned is that the Wedding Cakes team is separate from the team that does other special-occasion cakes at the Grand Floridian, which explains why sometimes people get supermarket-looking birthday cakes at the GF AND why GF Private Dining is so resistant to letting you use all the flavors and fillings open to weddings: Basically, GF Private Dining uses the same limited cake order form used by all the other resorts, which only lists chocolate, vanilla and generic "fruit" mousse as fillings.

I LOVE this idea! Can they take the 30th anniversary designs and work with that? The colors are very similar...
Please forgive my newbie ignorance, but is there any way to have the wedding cake team make a custom "non-wedding" cake or do they strictly only make cakes for weddings on property?
I called Art of Animation’s cake line last night to start the ball rolling even though I don’t need the cake until November 9th. I know that necessary lead times and response times vary, and I’d rather have too much than too little. I thought I’d share my ordering experience so far.
I knew I was calling after hours and left a message with a brief description of what I was after (a 6” almond cake with strawberry filling and fresh strawberries, fondant decorated in a food and wine and fall theme).
A very nice woman called me at 8am PST this morning, which I though was an impressively short turnaround. I mentioned in passing that I had only woken up a short while before (I’m not a morning person), and she seemed apologetic and offered to call me back later, but it wasn’t a problem. She let me know that she’d have to contact the Yacht and Beach Club bakery to see if they could make the cake in the flavors I requested, though it sounded like the only part she was unsure on was the almond cake. She gave me the choice of vanilla, chocolate, and marble as a backup and I went with vanilla as most of the rave reviews I’ve seen of the strawberry mousse cakes have been with vanilla.
She also said that the Yacht Club bakery may have to get approval for the Food and Wine logo. She warned me that the approval process could take a bit. I let her know I was fine if the logo couldn’t be on it. Finally she asked to clarify what I meant by a fall theme, and I explained that I was fairly flexible, but I thought cascading fall leaves might be a pretty addition.
She said she’d send the questions along to the bakery and asked for an email address where she could send any information and updates.
Overall she was extremely nice, seemed knowledgeable, and just was generally helpful. I was confident she knew what she was doing and has familiarized herself with what I wanted and the possible issues before calling. I wish I’d gotten her name, as she was just overall wonderful.
I did forget to mention a couple things (I possibly wanted a Remi hidden somewhere on the cake, and that a little hidden mickey somewhere in the design would also be fabulous), but I’m sure I can make those comments later.
So far, so good with ordering a special cake through Art of Animation!
