If you follow our Disneyland correspondent Heather Sievers on her Instagram, you know she’s got a bit of a thing for the Haunted Mansion. (And hey, don’t we all 🙂 ? )
Well, lucky for us, Heather’s friends and family treated her right for her recent birthday by ordering a totally epic specialty cake for her birthday dinner at Napa Rose at the Grand Californian Resort in Disneyland.
It’s the Haunted Mansion-themed cake, and It. Is. EVERYTHING.
Haunted Mansion Cake
Let’s just break this thing down for a minute. First is the perfectly eerie purple frosting with black Haunted Mansion wallpaper accents and Haunted Mansion-approved script, written by some of the greatest ghost writers the literary world has ever known, I presume…

The sides of the cake? They mimic the wallpaper that’s the very quintessence of Haunted Mansion decor. And look at the roses! So much detail in those petals and leaves.

But the decorations on top completely take the cake, as they say… they’re two White Chocolate HITCHHIKING GHOSTS and the HATBOX GHOST, all bursting through the Mansion gates to wish Heather a Happy Birthday while she’s here in her corruptible, mortal state.

The ghostly blue paint job that gives the ghosts their spectral quality is pretty amazing.

But we’ve kind of saved the best for last because this cake… my friends, it’s DOLE WHIP flavored! Pineapple cake is layered with pineapple cream, and it is mind-blowing.
Inside the Haunted Mansion Cake
So, remember, if you need to order a specialty cake from Napa Rose, they can totally hook you up BIG TIME! The artistry and flavor creates the complete package from top to bottom.

Omgosh, that has to be one of the most awesome birthday cakes EVER!!!!!! The HM in WDW is my fave in the MK! Happy Birthday, Heather!
OMG! The Haunted Mansion is my all time favorite. I would love that cake for my birthday next year. Will WDW offer this cake in the “very” near future?
We ordered a Haunted Mansion cake in October 2015 for my son’s 11th birthday! It was a great ending to a delicious meal at California Grill!
How much does this cake run?
We’ve ordered cakes on our last two trips (both times marble cake with cream filling with fresh raspberries) they’ve both been delicious and delivered to our rooms at the Grand Californian. If our waitlist ever clears for September I definitely want to order a cake to celebrate my friends’ first time!
Thank you for posting this photo. I just ordered one for our visit next week and there are no pictures on Disney sites. It helped to see this here. We got the churro one – cinnamon sugar cake with churro frosting inside. I’m excited. The Dole Whip one was tempting.
