Amazing Amorette’s Patisserie Cake Decorating Experience in Disney Springs

Two of my favorite things…cake and Mickey Mouse! If you agree, check out this amazing cake decorating experience at Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs. Here’s everything you need to know to book and create your own Mickey Mouse Dome Cake, courtesy of Disney:

Master the culinary technique that goes into decorating Amorette’s signature Character Dome Cakes.

Ever since Amorette’s Patisserie opened in 2016, its Disney-themed cakes have created quite the stir. Consisting of flavored chiffon cake, mousse and fruit jelly, these showstoppers elicit a chorus of “oohs” and “aahs” everywhere they’re presented.

A Delicious Lesson

Now you can take your own dessert game up a notch by signing up for a special 90-minute cake-decorating experience. You’ll gather in Amorette’s show kitchen before the shop officially opens for the day―the very same place Disney pastry artists skillfully blend artistry with storytelling in order to create some of the most enchanting confections around.

During this small group lesson your instructor will share insider stories and tips while describing the process of cake decorating from design to completion. You’ll learn how to pour glaçage and coat Mickey’s sculpted ears, tail, belt and buttons with edible paint.

A Bevy of Beverages Included

Sip on refreshments included with this experience, like specialty coffees, teas, water and select alcoholic beverages.

Magic to Take Home

At the end of this class, you’ll have a sweet masterpiece—which will be neatly packaged so you can easily take it home or back to your hotel to share with family and friends. You’ll also receive a gift from Amorette’s Patisserie as a reward for your artistic efforts.

Amorette’s Patisserie is happy to hold onto your cake that day—so you can freely explore Disney Springs at your leisure and then pick up your cake later in the day.

Price

This 90-minute experience is $199 plus tax, which covers up to 2 Guests decorating one cake.

For an extra $50 plus tax, you can add a second cake—which you can request up to 48 hours before your class reservation by calling 407-934-3500. Ordering a second cake will not change the party size (up to 2 Guests per reservation).
