Bake Me a Cake – Pastry Chef Andreas Born at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Do you ever wonder just how the chefs create those amazing cakes in the Disney Parks restaurants? What’s between the delectable layers? How do they make a slice of cake look like a piece of art? This is the first of a new Disney Parks Blog series – “Bake Me a Cake” – taking you behind the scenes in the kitchen with some of our favorite chefs who show us their “cake beauty” secrets.

We’re starting with Chef Andreas Born at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, whose chocolate cannoli cake is a winning combination of devil’s food chocolate cake, cannoli cream filling, ganache, a swirl of chianti red wine sauce and a crunchy hazelnut Florentine cookie. He makes it look so easy, and shares a couple of great baking tips.

No recipes – you’ll have to visit Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano for a slice of deliciousness!

Do you have a favorite Disney cake that you’d like to see one of the Disney chefs create?

  • He makes it look so easy and fast. That would take me most of the day and my kitchen would look like a disaster zone at the end of it!

  • Annette,
    Just use your hemisphere silicone mold upside down
