Super cute!One other little update...this is now being offered at CRT...
They're $12.50 + tax. They only come in white chocolate with chocolate mousse. I guess it's the boys alternative to the slipper.

Wow, just WOW. Love so many I just can't even start! I don't think I've seen any of those before either.
Or maybe I have....it's all such a blur of cake these days.
@HouCuseChickie are any of these posted already?
Getting close to my trip..need to start hammering out the details in my head.
I'm about 3 weeks out. Is it time to contact the GF?

I have seen/posted some of these before, but many are new.
As for your cake...yes, if it were me, I'd be calling the GF tomorrow. Let us know how it goes!

It was a 6", I wanted something small as there was only three of us
Thanks @HouCuseChickie for all the info and pictures. Taking my daughter to GF for her birthday next January and her fav princess is Belle. Now I can surprise her at her special birthday dinner at Narcoossee's. Since it's just the two of us, would you recommend the mini cake? Not that I don't mind leftover cake.....
The practical side of me (not a very big side of me
) says a mini cake is perfect for 2 people. The part of me that likes seeing a big fun presentation says maybe go for a 6" since the GF is willing to do full decorations on those. It would give you leftover cake (the mini would not), but not like the amount of leftovers you'd have with an 8".Hey everyone! These are some awesome cakes!!
I had a question though.
We are going September 16-18 for my son's birthday and we were planning on eating at chef mickey's like we did last year.
The mini cakes are adorable and perfect size for him but I saw that just this year the CR won't do custom ones?
Is that true? Even if I just wanted a basic green one with an edible tink and captain hook's hook instead of Mickey Mouse ears?
We will all be dressed in Peter Pan attire since his bday falls on MNSSHP.

Can someone tell me, how many layers are in a 6 inch cake?
Welcome to WDW Magic
Unfortunately, the Contemporary will no longer do elaborately themed minis. If your design is simple, you MAY be able to convince them, but be prepared for a no. Your best bet is to email and pitch it from a super single angle.I'm going to have to see if I can turn up any pics of cut 6" cakes. I know the 8" ones are 3 layers, but I'm not 100% on the 6" size. Hopefully I'll be able to find something.

Thanks for the additional advice. There is nothing wrong with leftover cake (other than ruining my diet) and if GF will make the most awesome Belle cake that is 6", then that's the size. Cake and a cold glass of milk for breakfast is always the breakfast of champions!

Here is a cake we ordered for her at the Grand Floridian 1900 Fare. The chef was sooo helpful! I called and asked to speak directly to her- then I was able to email back and forth with her to get the final product! It was stunning! That is a number 9 on the top. Tasted delicious as well! Disney does a fantastic job. We have also gotten a Halloween cake from animal kingdom lodge- Jiko- custom designed- it rocked!
@Mikay2222 AWESOME CAKES!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
OK- so I've been digging through pics and it's really hard to tell. These are 6" cakes from the GF...
the height on them say 3-4 layers to me. They actually look taller than a number of the 8" ones I've seen.
Of course, here's another 6" and this one looks 2-3 layers to me...
I know this doesn't really answer the question, but I think the answer is that it could vary.
Small cake update...
We start out with some Frozen cakes ->
$35 and delivered to Garden Grill
These next 2 are non-Disney made cakes, but may provide some inspiration...
The Olaf is really great, but after making a Tinkerbell similar in style to this Elsa...I really think it's better to make human figures like this by making custom molds.
This other one is stunning...made by a bakery in Singapore and fed 150...
...it doesn't even look real!
And finally, a cake from AKL.
They were quoted $65 but only charged about $23. It always kind of bugs me that the AKL cakes are typically animal themed, but I guess it goes with the territory. I think the price reduction also came in because this was made by an assistant rather than the lead pastry chef. I hate to be overly critical, but as a cake person, I would expect a cleaner cake from the bakery. Still, $23 is a steal IMO.

Love a little Disney every day!! ;)
So fun! Me and DH will be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary at Cali Grill as well on 11/3. I may do a Mini Wedding cake as well. Last year I did the cake on his birthday so on our anniversary I think I will have to get one too.

ahh... well thanks for trying. We went ahead and ordered it. Hopefully it turns out beautiful. I will definitely share a picture for you when we get it!OK- so I've been digging through pics and it's really hard to tell. These are 6" cakes from the GF...

It's hard to believe, but in about a month...I'll be reaching out to the GF to put in my cake order. Hopefully this cake will be better than our last. In the meantime, I have other people's cakes to share with you all
This cake was made by the Contemporary bakery and delivered to BOG. More proof that they're finding a way to make room for custom cakes. I was shocked to see that that was $95. I honestly expected $125+.
Slipper dessert at the GF...
Tinkerbell cake made by the GF...
Cake delivered to CBR- about $58...
$120 for this cake from the GF. Not too keen on the execution of Rapunzel's tower for this...
Royal Highness pkg cake at CRT...
Not a Disney made cake, but if you wanted a special cake- didn't want to deal with Disney prices, etc. -you have options like this one from Publix.
And finally, a Disney wedding cake. Not sure how I feel about the ruffles.
