How do I order a birthday cake?

[disneymom]

ive heard we can order a birthday cake to be delivered after the meal but how do we do it? Is there a phone number or is it done by contacting the restaurant directly?

[BouncyTigger]

I would ring the restaurant before you go and tell them that you are celebrating a birthday and they will sort everything out for you.

In a few of the restaurants I have been to the waiters and waitresses have even sung happy birthday to the celebrating guest. :p015:

[Johnie]

There are quite a few options. Where do you want the cake delivered to?

This is a cake I ordered in advance from the Polynesian. It feeds 16 and was about $40

[Tink]

What kind of cake was that Johnie, do you know? Can you order something specific? Say, chocolate with raspberry filling and whipped cream icing, or is it a matter of "here are the choices, pick one?" :unsure:

[Johnie]

They give you a ton of choices with the big cakes. I'll see if I can dig up the info.

That is chocolate icing, it's vaniila cake inside with a strawberry layer.

[Tink]

Wow! Thanks Johnie!!! That's some good info! :yes:

The prices are not nearly as crazy as I thought they would be. I am disappointed to find out that the Cinderella slipper dessert can't be ordered at any resort (full service) restaurant. :sigh; I had an idea there... :D

[Johnie]

I thought the slipper could be delivered to any GF restaurant? I had one delivered to the afternoon tea for Alysia's birthday ages ago.

[Tink]

GF, Grand Floridian. Not dining there. :sigh;

[Johnie]

I wonder if you could order it and pick it up from the bakery?

[Tink]

What bakery? :unsure:

[Johnie]

The GF bakery 407-824-2474

Boardwalk Bakery 407-939-5175

[Tink]

Hmmmmm... I'll give them a call in the morning. Thanks! :yes:

[Tink]

I phoned the Cake Hotline number but no answer yet. I'll try again at 9:00 am. I did learn from the voice menu though that the 6" cake now costs $21.00.

Do you think it would be too wierd to have a cake ordered for breakfast? :unsure:

[Beccaberry]

Absolutely NOT. But then again I did have prosciutto and cheese for breakfast this morning, so my authority may be a bit lacking on acceptable breakfast foods :wink:

[Tink]

I went with it. A ten inch is now $45.00. Not a huge bunch of choices, but I think it will be ok in the long run.

[Beccaberry]

Wow. So then, what sort did you get? My prosciutto may need dessert :)

[Keith]

Johnie that's BRILLIANT info thanks! I really want to do this for December

[Johnie]

They do a really good job with the cakes.

When we went to Disney for Alysia's 5th birthday, we had cake for breakfast! She loved it!

[Beccaberry]

Good heavens. I'm sitting here reading this thread without it dawning on me that I actually *need* it!!! I have to order Andrew a cake for his birthday while we were there!!! OMG. I have GOT to get on the ball!!!

[Tink]

Chocolate cake with raspberry mousse filling and chocolate buttercream, decorated with roses. :D They couldn't do Tigger. :(

But it will be fine. :yes:

[Johnie]

I think there is some sort of licensing thing with the Pooh characters.

[Tink]

S'okay. Sometimes we have to have a little maturity and dignity. :lol:

[Beccaberry]

S'okay. Sometimes we have to have a little maturity and dignity. :lol:

Certainly.

You could always wrap the presents in Tigger... :wink:

[Tink]

Presents? There are supposed to be presents? :eek:

[Beccaberry]

Indeed there are...at least according to Andrew...and they are to be small and electronic and quite expensive.

[Tink]

Uh huh. Well, Dear Andrew. Prepare to face the experience of being wrong! :lol: :wink:

[Beccaberry]

LOL!! :laugh: He has that experience a LOT actually...but he never ceases to be surprised by it :wink:

[Johnie]

Hope springs eternal :lol:


We actually have a lot of birthdays to celebrate on this trip......perhaps we should order a cake for everyone one night. Of course, Andrew needs his own cake since he is 16 :lol:
