I was wondering if anyone had some more recent pics of a cake for an adult male for a birthday like maybe a grumpy cake. My DH always usually celebrates his bday in Dec when we go and I want to surprise him with a cake this time. We will be dinning at CRT for the evening of his bday possibly so any help or ideas would be greatly appretiated!!! I have seen some older cakes with Grumpy but nothing the last year or so. :)

Let me take a look around for some inspiration cakes. Hopefully, I'll have somethings by this evening.

Thank you!! I appretiate your help! :)

No problem. Now, stick with me here b/c I have some examples...but it all works into a design thought.

This is the only Grumpy specific cake I've seen produced by the Disney bakeries...

I like Grumpy's expression on here, but the rest of the cake is a pretty average design. Now, I don't know what your budget is, but I'd love to see an edible image of Grumpy like this one combined with the glowing jewel chest/car like on the cake below. Obviously, this cake is all the dwarfs, but I'm sure they could make Grumpy larger just to balance things out more.



Since this would be a Grumpy specific cake...I think you can use the concept incorporated into the Cinderella cake below...

Obviously, it wouldn't be decorated in draping, but I think it would look really neat to have the same concept done with some of Grumpy's more iconic moments in the movie.
Ex. When they force him into the bath, when Snow White kisses him on the head, during the Silly Song, etc.

While the execution isn't great in my example below...they could even string the edible images of Grumpy together to make it all look like movie reel clippings.

Ok...final thought with it...while the cake below is about as far from a Grumpy cake as you can get...the edible scrolled message on the front is a concept you could work into the front of your Grumpy cake. If you were to top said cake with an edible 2D stand up Grumpy and have the glowing jewel chest...you could have a message on the scroll like "Grumpy, but a Real Gem." OK- just an example, but a nice little witty way to tie in the wording to the cake with a scrolled msg like the one below.

I hope it makes sense...if I had a little more time I could make a rough sketch of my idea, but I think this is my official downtime of the evening. At the very least, you might be able to work from this and get some ideas. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much!!! I really like your ideas especially concerning the second cake. That one is awesome and once I'm ready I might email that one to the cake people to see what they can come up with. If I get a cake for in Magic Kingdom is it the Grand Floridian that makes it or another location? I know I had seen that info before but I couldn't find it recently. :)

The Contemporary bakery services MK. You're good with nearly every TS with the exception of BoG. You'd noted CRT, so I can't see any problems. Here is the contact info...

Contemporary Resort* — 407-824-2955 or WDW.Contemporary.Cake.Order@disney.com

Or you could use this...

Magic Kingdom* — 407-827-2253 or magickingdomcakes@disney.com

Either should be fine. I know the info is somewhere on page 1, but it's a TON of info to sort through. Ultimatley, you can email and you should get a response from one of the pastry chefs (often Chef Brian). You can hash out details via email and then call to place your actual order.

Saw a few new Disney cakes out there that I wanted to post before trying to get some sleep...

Belle Cake


Hatter Cake...


If I'm reading the original poster's description correctly, the Belle cake was for breakfast at CRT and the hatter cake was for dinner at CRT...all in the same day. That's a whole lotta cake!!!

I wanted to post this cake I came across today. It's a really good example of how you can make a cake from a Disney bakery into a cake themed for non-Disney characters.

In case you couldn't tell, it's a MarioKart cake. The person who posted it obviously supplied the boxes and figures, but conveyed the rest of the details when ordering the cake. I believe they had it delivered to PORS and then added everything else on after delivery. They were quoted $85, but noted that the actual bill wound up being less.

this thread should get trimmed up and pinned at the top of page... a lot of useful info here

Thanks! :)

As for the pinning, not sure how to do that. It may be up to @wdwmagic to decide what gets pinned to the top of this section of the forums.

I know it can get a bit overwhelming with all of the pictures and conversations, but I definitely want to keep it an open thread for people to ask questions, discuss design ideas, and ultimately post cake pics. I have been debating about adding a table of contents/picture index towards the front, but it probably won't happen until this fall.

So, I saw this IASW inspired wedding cake made for a Disney wedding. If you've seen my cake sketches in my PTR, it's nothing like my IASW idea...but it definitely is a more refined interpretation of the queue and Mary Blair's art- in cake form. It's also a concept that could easily be translated to a single tier special occasion cake- i.e. for that IASW fan who might want a pretty/artsy and more understated way of having a cake with this theme...

Here it is! Just thought it might give you a little more inspiration to play with your Mom's cake sketches!

That is so cute!!! I had debated about Bert's stripes vs. red & white for Mary, but opted for the red and white for Mary. Love the hat & umbrella too...I had wanted to top mom's cake with the umbrella, but the white carousel horses are pre-made, so I expect it will be a cost cutter to go with the horse.
