This is beautiful! Was it something you planned out, or did you just ask for an Up themed and they came up with this?View attachment 270283 View attachment 270284 Just celebrated my husband's birthday at California Grill and surprised him with an Up-themed cake. It was absolutely perfect -- better than I even imagined. It was also very fresh and delicious.
It's just the two of us on this trip, so we're going to be eating cake all week!
Thank you. It was a collaborative effort. I knew I didn't want the 2-D characters, and I knew I wanted the movie's key elements. The AMAZING team at the Contemporary came up with the primary design. I just asked that they add a grape soda pin.This is beautiful! Was it something you planned out, or did you just ask for an Up themed and they came up with this?
I love the Contemporary's pastry team!
I love the attention to detail, and the soda pin you requested! Glad it worked out and that he was surprised!Thank you. It was a collaborative effort.

It was just perfect. I'm thrilled with it, and my husband was completely surprised!

Love this! Can I ask how much it cost? I want to order a replica of our wedding cake (which was up themed and at Disney) and the balloon and house detailing is very similar. I attached a picture of our wedding cake.
Has anyone here ever seen or had made a Pirates of Caribbean mini or 6" round cake? Celebrating our Daughters birthday in 3 weeks at Disney and she is a big PoC fan. We will be dining at Tusker House, so hopefully we can work it out. I looked back through all 5 version of this chat but couldn't find one. Thought maybe @lurkyloo has seen one before??

Anyone had any luck ordering Custom Cakes last week or so? I know someone mentioned they wouldn't be making any between now and Oct. 1st. This was only place I had heard of that. I have left messages last Thurs and Today with cake hotline for Tusker House and still no call back. We have reservation for Oct. 7th.
I was the one that said it. She told me it was the celebration cakes they're having trouble with due to the supplier and the hurricane. I think that's the Mickey shaped generic ones. Not sure if they've sorted the supply issue now or not. However custom cakes are fine I'm dealing with POR for a cake for Oct 1st and other than them being really busy haven't had any problems so far. So maybe try chasing then up again they should have got back to you by now. When do you arrive? She told me the need 5 days to make my custom order so you've still got time.
So I just called contemporaty resort private dining line and the person I spoke with said YES they do make custom cakes. So I am now in the works to the my cake done there. I am a little frustrated why I was told by staff at POR that CR doesnt make custom cakes when they actually do. I am so grateful for all the forums that give details like this one to help us get our magic on. Disney website is so limited, as is the knowledge of some of the cast members unfortunately.
I started wondering are they all in competition with one another or is it just plain lack of knowledge. I hope the latter because otherwise that is not very disney friendly. Actually one of the cakes I saw I here is the inspiration for the cake i want. So i double checked the post and noticed that cake was done at cr and was a 6 inch (which I was told by POR staff it could not be done custom) and was delivered to the Wave just earlier this year. Was very happy to see that!
I could see that. I think the fact that I was told noje of it could be done at CR when in fact it could was disappointing. I am just glad it is getting done.I have heard that some locations aren't doing (or are giving pushback on) 6" customs. I understand that an 8" is probably easier for then to work with, but if you don't want anything too elaborate then I personally don't understand the issue.
