I paid $200 to learn how to decorate a cake at Amorette's Patisserie in Disney Springs.
Making a Mickey-themed cake and having bottomless drinks made it worth my time and money.
I thought the experience was both fun and unique, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
As a frequent park guest, I wanted to try something new at Disney World.
As an annual passholder and frequent Disney World visitor, I'm always on the lookout for new experiences to try. It's a nice change of pace to branch out from our typical vacation plans.
Amorette's Patisserie in Disney Springs recently brought back its cake-decorating class, and I knew I had to try it.
I wasn't able to book the class through the My Disney Experience app or the Disney Springs website. But I was able to locate the booking page by searching "Amorette's Patisserie Cake Decorating" on the main Disney World website.
Decorating classes take place before the pastry shop opens.
The 90-minute decorating classes are currently offered every day at 9:15 a.m., and you can arrive up to 15 minutes early.
Amorette's doesn't open until 12 p.m. on Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. on Friday through Sunday, so the classes take place before customers can come to the shop.
The classes are $200 plus tax for up to two people to decorate one cake. I invited my friend to try it with me, and we were offered the opportunity to spend an extra $50 for a second cake if she wanted her own.
Parties with more than two people need to make additional reservations.
Classes included bottomless refreshments.
In addition to a professional decorating lesson and the cake itself, we were offered unlimited servings of either coffee or mimosas.
But between listening to the instructions and decorating, we only ended up enjoying two drinks each during the 90-minute class.
The pastry artist took his time instructing the class.
The class is limited to 14 people, which allows the pastry artist to walk around and give one-on-one instructions to each group.
Our instructor, Reuben, was so encouraging and provided helpful tips for making our cakes perfect.
Amorette's currently only offers Mickey dome cakes.
Amorette's is known for its $70 dome cakes inspired by six different classic Disney characters — which you have to order from the bakery in advance. But the decorating experience only offers the Mickey dome cake.
I'd love to see classes that offer different characters or even lessons for petit cakes, which are also served in the bakery.
We decorated the cake in stages.
Amorette's pastry artists are able to create cakes with such vivid colors because they glaze them several times — we glazed our cake a total of three times.
In between each glaze, we painted Mickey's ears, tail, and yellow buttons. Once everything was glazed and painted, we carefully assembled our cake.
We were having so much fun that the 90 minutes flew by, and we were very proud of our final product.
The experience was pricey but worth it.
Amorette's cake-decorating class is definitely on the more expensive side at $200. But I believe the value, especially with the finished cake and unlimited beverages, made it a worthwhile investment.
If you're looking for something new and different to do on your next visit to Disney World, give cake decorating a try.
