Our daughter is turning 1 end of this month and we're throwing her a Minnie Mouse themed birthday party. We'd like to order a cake with a Minnie Mouse theme, something like the ones attached here.
Would love to order either from somewhere near Downtown Raleigh, Cary, or Apex.
Those that come to mind are Edible Art (Hillsborough St) and Sweet Memories (Apex).
Not sure if the place in downtown Apex does custom cakes. Not sure about Blue Moon Bakery in Cary either.
Other than these, looking for other suggestions. Thanks!
Sugarland Bakery in Cameron Village. They can do just about anything, and their cakes are delicious, too. They made my mother's 80th birthday cake, and it was awesome.
I tried to get a Minnie/Mickey cake for my daughter's birthday last year, and had trouble finding a bakery that would make it custom. They said they couldn't use licensed characters.
I ended up just getting a licensed one from Walmart. Lowe's Foods had the same options, but Walmart was cheaper. For us, the hardest part was getting a cake with BOTH Mickey and Minnie. Just Minnie had more choices. Unfortunately, they are not nearly as nice as the custom types like you have in mind.

Yeah. If you want a licensed character on a cake, larger bakeries won't do them. If you want a cake that is reminiscent of the character, they will do that. Needs to be transformative enough to prevent a trademark lawsuit.
Disney is fierce about protecting trademarks.
I'd go with Edible Art, by the way. Just judging from the cakes you posted.

I highly recommend the Original Cake Lady. Check out her gallery of photos at originalcakelady.com. She is amazingly talented. I've had numerous cakes of hers and they are always delicious. I have looked at other cake bakers' websites and visited "brick and mortar" bakeries and I don't think anyone else in the area is as talented as she is. She's great to work with, too. You can also visit her facebook page and see some other cakes that aren't on her website. Scroll down her facebook page to the Yoda cake...it's unbelievable. She's in the Raleigh/Cary/Apex area, and last I knew, she delivers.
