That turned out great! I think I remember when you started working on an idea. The cake is beautiful! Happy Anniversary!

Well I'm back at it, trying to figure out what to celebrate so I can order a cake. @HouCuseChickie have you seen any Olaf beach themed cakes? We are staying at CBR and thought it might be fun to have delivered. Thanks!

Yup, way back when!! Turned out absolutely perfect!!
If you can hold off until this weekend...I can go through the thread and post some Halloween cakes for you. I know there are a handful on here.
Awesome cake!!! I'm so glad it worked out well and the stained glass looks great!
Hmmmm...don't know if I have, but I think it should be easy enough to do. I'm sure they could do a summer edible image of Olaf and have it resting in a bed of sand (aka- graham cracker crumbs).

Here's one you could use but just have Olaf on top instead of Anna and Elsa. I was going to use a combo of this and another from MANY pages earlier for my DD's cake. (I'm pretty sure it was @HouCuseChickie 's cake with the penguins on top?)
I know there is another posted MUCH earlier of a sandy beach type theme with Stitch, I think, that would work if you were thinking of an 'in summer' theme.

This is my daughters cake which we got at California Grill. It was chocolate flavour and cost $110. She was very pleased with it

I like to put in my orders 2-3 weeks in advance.
OK @Mikay2222 - here are some of the WDW made Halloween cakes I was able to turn up...
So, this is what I turned up. I left off all of the Haunted Mansion & Nightmare Before Christmas cakes, but there are plenty of those (especially HM) in here as well.
And now a cake update
This is a 6" buttercream cake from the Contemporary. It was a yellow cake with raspberry filling and white chocolate mousse...
Mini wedding cake from the Contemporary- $35
You can also request any of the white chocolate toppers to be delivered sans cake.
10" cake from the GF inspired by the Queen of Hearts...$160
Mickey head cake
Minnie head cake
And another Mickey head cake
Another Frozen cake
And here's a cake made by an outside bakery (It's Tasty Too). The client was quoted something like $100 for a 1 tier cake, so she contacted the outside bakery and was quoted only $50 + $30 delivery fee. Apparently, the 2nd tier was a total surprise to her. Now, I know Disney won't do a 2-tier cake for less than $250. The poster said the cake was good, so it may be worth contacting them if you don't like your quote. Ultimately, $50 is WAAAAAAAAAY below industry standards for cake prices.
Obviously, the food coloring in the pink bled...so I'm guessing the cake was impacted by heat during transport.
These are from the Disney wedding cake blog. This is clearly a dr's groom's cake...
This was the corresponding bridal cake(s).
A monorail themed groom's cake (this went with the Space Mtn wedding cake posted a while back)
And I LOVE this idea...the 3 MK mountains. This was actually the groom's cake that went with the ruffles cake I recently posted.
That's all for now

Thank u!! Appreciate ur time! I actually went with the first mini cake for one dinner reservation and a haunted mansion cake for California grill. I must say - people should def request the chefs email address and bounce ideas off them- they are SO helpful and thoughtful! Also, on a side note- the chef at grand Floridian told me Olaf is not actually owned by disney so they have just started to Jo longer make cakes with him included.. Thought I'd share!
About a year ago, Disney got really strict and strange with licensing of their own character images. There were already issues with the Pooh characters, but they really cracked down on things for who knows what reason. It's like they own the characters, but certain rights for edible images for cakes present an issue. And it's A LOT of characters. I had heard that Olaf presents some issues for them for cakes, but it seems that the GF is being the real stickler in this. We've seen cakes from a couple of the other Disney bakeries where they've used edible images of him. I swear...they drive me nuts with this stuff.

I'm going to look into the Olaf beach cake that I mentioned last week. I'll let you know the answer I get.About a year ago, Disney got really strict and strange with licensing of their own character images.

I have a question, if I order a cake, do I pay for it before hand over the phone? Or is it billed to our restaurant bill? I would like to have it paid for before hand so my husband doesn't see the price ...he he
