Construction Walls Down at The Cake Bake Shop - October 7 2024
Posted: Monday October 7, 2024 1:05pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The construction walls have officially come down at the new Cake Bake Shop at Disney's BoardWalk, revealing its whimsical façade and intricate detailing.


Along with the removal of the construction walls, we now get a first look at the much-anticipated menu for the Cake Bake Shop – and while the dishes offer a variety of options, many of the prices are notably high.

The Cake Bake Shop menu features offerings from breakfast to lunch and dinner, as well as an extensive cocktail list and a selection of decadent desserts available at the bakery. The menu spans a wide range of tastes and preferences, with both classic and creative dishes that cater to different palates. However, while the atmosphere and menu items provide a unique experience, the premium price points are hard to overlook, making it an option for those looking to indulge rather than an everyday stop.

Breakfast & Brunch Highlights

Served from 7:00 am to 11:00 am, the breakfast and brunch menu includes several options for early risers, but at a significant cost. A plate of Cinnamon Toast Brioche Bites is priced at $24, while Challah Orange French Toast is $26. Even simpler items like Belgian Waffles are listed at $22.

Breakfast cocktails such as Mimosas are priced at $23 and Bloody Marys at $19, making a morning beverage an indulgence. Guests looking for a lighter start can choose the Fruit Plate for $26 or a Broccoli Quiche for $28.

In addition to these items, the menu features other breakfast classics with an upscale twist. The Classic Eggs Benedict is priced at $34, while the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict comes in at $42. The Blackberry Avocado Salade at $26 offers a lighter, refreshing option.

Lunch & Dinner Selections

From 11:00 am to 11:00 pm, the lunch and dinner offerings continue with high pricing. The Croque-Madame is $34, while the Grilled Salmon Sandwich is also $34. Even a Chicken Salade Croissant is priced at $26.

The Charcuterie Board is listed at $78, which may be best shared among a group given the high price. Other highlights include Steak Frites au Poivre for $58 and Crab Cakesfor $52, both of which are positioned as signature entrées meant to offer a memorable dining experience.

For those seeking lighter fare, the Green Goddess Cobb Salade is available for $28, and the Lemon Caesar Salade is priced at $26. The soups, such as the French Onion Soupe at $20 per bowl and the Chicken & Andouille Gumbo at $24, add to the variety of choices available, though they maintain the premium pricing theme seen throughout the menu.

Desserts & Drinks

Desserts are a key highlight of the Cake Bake Shop, featuring items like Gwendolyn's Famous Earl's Court Chocolate Cake at $24 per slice and the Millionaire Cake at $26. The Raspberry Champagne Cake is also priced at $24 per slice, and while these desserts are certainly indulgent, the pricing makes them a luxury treat.

The drink menu includes specialty cocktails such as Gwendolyn's Famous Cosmopolitan for $26 and classics like an Old Fashioned for $24. For champagne enthusiasts, a bottle of Dom Pérignon is available for $600, catering to those looking to celebrate a special occasion in style.

The selection of teas, coffees, and non-alcoholic beverages also maintains the theme of premium pricing. A London Fog Latte is priced at $7, and even a simple Coca-Cola will cost $8.

A Pricey Dining Option on Disney's BoardWalk

The Cake Bake Shop aims to offer an enchanting atmosphere and well-crafted dishes, but they come at a premium cost. With high prices for even basic menu items, the Cake Bake Shop clearly targets those seeking an upscale, special occasion meal rather than an everyday option.

An opening date is not yet available, but with the construction walls now removed, its debut should not be far away.

It is a head scratcher... for sure. I am waiting for them to open a French Laundry at the Caribbean Beach Hotel and a Delmonico's at the All Star Sports next... Spago at Fort Wilderness?

It already has reviews :rolleyes: from people that don't understand the restaurant is not Disney either.

Chef idea Mickey`=15 minutes ago

That's what I would like to know, so far anyone who's been just mentioned whole experience or a particular cake that they liked was their favorite!

RKpb23 minutes ago

Yup, in agreement with the rest of the postings on price. I can't believe they took out ESPN for this over priced option. The kids loved the ESPN atmosphere as well as the arcade. I can see this dyeing on the vine like the down town NBNA experience. Why spend the kind of cash they did to redo this for a obvious fail and took forever to rebuild this spot? Crazy decisions these days, I think the California crew is making all the decisions on the Florida operations changes and they just don't get it. Look at the Polynesian tower they are building, doesn't fit the Poly theme at all to me, looks like a northern California hotel; gah what are they doing to the parks and surrounding properties..... go look at the Pop food court change, wow, whos doing this stuff? I'm loosing the magic that Disney had brought me in the past.

I'm not one to hope businesses fail, but I hope this fails. At some point the consumer needs to vote with their wallet. These prices are a bit offensive and its a shame that this space is being utilized for this. As someone who typically stays in the Epcot report area, I was really hoping for a moderately priced (for Disney standards) lunch and dinner venue. We lost Big River, the new deli is anything but an authentic jersey deli and who the heck eats corndogs anymore. There is a clear lack of vision for this area, which has so much potential. We love Flying Fish, but that's a splurge as well.

New ad- Mouth watering, Eye watering prices! Bake Shop.

Based only on what I have seen of her other restaurants, I am sure the interior will be very pretty and glam...in a Beverly Hills Housewives sort of way.....and I am sure the food will be good.... I just think with all the recent and continued price hikes across property, that maybe this is not the right restaurant at a resort where the guests are starting to feel fleeced...I think the bucket is tipping and a place like this feels like it is pushing it. Both ESPN and Big River were reasonably priced dining options... now your only reasonably priced dining option is a corn dog on a park bench...oh yeah or a deli sandwich on the same park bench...

That's the thing. It could be of equal quality. But the fact will then become am I going to spend $44 on a Burger, fries, and a beer, or $55 for salmon and a beer? There's just no chance at similar prices, I'm taking a burger over fish, even if it's a great burger.

I was going to say the exact same thing. If I'm spending that kind of money, I'll walk 2 minutes down the boardwalk and go to the Flying Fish instead. This place is outclassed and outvalued and it hasn't even opened yet.

Bocabear1 hour ago

There are those that will...but it will most likely be once....and maybe that is all they care about. Maybe if you just have a $12 corn dog and a complimentary cup of tap water, you can afford the $26 slice of cake for dessert....then your lunch would only be $38 excluding tax and tip...Want fries with that Dog? it's going to be over $50 and you have to it outside on a park bench....

UNCgolf1 hour ago

I can't imagine this place succeeding in this location at these prices. For people that want a high end meal, Flying Fish is basically next door, and it's probably the best non-V&A restaurant at Disney World. I doubt the Cake Bake Shop will be better, and it's just as expensive if not moreso. I think they could be pretty successful with breakfast service (considering that's hard to find at Disney), but not at those prices. $18 for bacon and eggs? $9 for a cup of fruit? And most people aren't planning to spend $30+ on a sandwich for lunch, either.

Bocabear1 hour ago

Looking at the menu I would think the delay was getting the toilets gold plated and encrusting the silverware with jewels....lol

neo9999551 hour ago

Absolutely insane. I'm in NYC and cannot think of a slice of cake that this price. Billy's slices are like $8. Even Magnolia slices (overrated, but famous) are only about $8-9. For twice the price you can nearly get a full cake from Molly's. Lady M is $12-13 or so.I guess Serendipity approaches $20, but it's not nearly worth the price. I hope this place does terribly so others aren't influenced by the pricing.

JMcMahonEsq1 hour ago

Not by much. The crab cakes are $51 bucks at its two other locations. The Charcuterie Board is $68 buck as opposed to 78 and the Steak Frites au Poivre is $53 bucks.
