The Cake

The best best best part, by far, of the Disney Wedding Planning Session we had with our wedding planner at Franck's (located next to the Wedding Pavilion, if you ever want to take a peek), was the cake tasting! Yes! Free Cake! We were so happy when the time came for the cake. It makes no sense- we're talking to this woman about spending thousands of dollars for one day's celebrations (albeit an important one...) and here we are thrilled about the free cake. And not only was it free, it was GOOD. I enjoyed all of the flavors. (the Bailey's Irish Cream icing was amazing!) Ryan had a few he really like too.

Our decision:

Top Layer (anniversary layer): Almond Cake with Amaretto Mousse Filling
Middle Layer: Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Mousse Filling
Bottom Layer: Almond Cake with Amaretto Mousse Filling

We obviously loved the almond cake with the amaretto filling. Super yummy!



This picture is the inspiration for our cake. They are decorating the cake to our custom requests:

Top Layer: Pink dots to form Mickey heads, white fondant.
Middle Layer: Mickey shaped swirls, in pink, white fondant.
Bottom Layer: Fabric/quilted pattern, single pink dots and Mickey head dots.

Pink ribbon around each layer, with a bit of green ribbon over top.

The minimum cake size is based on 50 people. We are expecting approximately 45 people, so it should be just right (leftovers please!). We are paying $12.50 per person for the cake made at the Grand Floridian, for a total of $665.63, plus the handling charge at the California Grill of $139, including taxes.
