The Cake Bake Shop construction - February 1 2024
Posted: Friday February 2, 2024 10:18am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Here is a latest look at the construction progress on The Cake Bake Shop on Disney's BoardWalk.



 

Construction has been moving at a leisurely pace, and the restaurant missed its planned 2023 opening. Disney says, "The Cake Bake Shop will bring exquisite dining, delicious Afternoon Tea, delectable desserts, marvelous champagne and fanciful cocktails for an extraordinary and whimsical experience. "




While we still don't have an opening date, the current progress looks like we won't see it open until at least the summer.

    You should consider applying to be a jungle cruise skipper

    What I don't get is the green palate color just like at Grand Floridian they chose a mint toothpaste looking that just doesn't fit or match the resort. Boardwalk's color is maroon!

    Lots of mint paint left over from M. Mouse Merchantile, I see.

    Never happen. There isn't enough parking, and Lexin who owns the downtown wants RIDICULOUS rent for the space. Many attempts were made to do something with the space and all have failed.

    I didn't realize changes were being made to the store there, I thought it was fine and nice the way it was, but of course because it was nice it has to go, as such. Speaking of that also wondering about the Emporium, that entire back quadrant through to casey's walled off. Do we start cringing now how thats going to turn out?

    Ah, the Boarddwakd, home of on-theme locations like Cake Bake Shop.

    Hot take, if I was in charge... I'd be trying to remodel that bar ;) Maybe some more subtle colours, less circus, less tacky. ETA: I used Bing, please don’t write to corporate about me using AI to express what I would design.

    100% accurate in your assessment - 1990s Disney at its BEST.

    lol. Hey, that's still theming far beyond anything Carousel Coffee came up with.

    ;) (Yeah, I know it's gone, but it happened.)

    The BoardWalk Inn pool bar is a great example of theming done well.

    I agree with your point, but saying Carousel Coffee has a theme b/c it has pictures of carousels on the wall - is being extremely generous to Imagineering.
