The Cake Bake Shop lowered its prices after outcry online over its price point while being located at Walt Disney World. Though not open to the public yet, The Cake Bake Shop can be found on Disney’s BoardWalk.

When construction walls came down in early October, the initial menu and prices were revealed for the new restaurant and bakery — leaving many Disney fans and locals shocked at the price point. As an example, these prices include $23 for an egg sandwich, cake slices for $26 each, and a $32 burger with pommes frites. Even a slice of toast was priced at $4.

There is no set opening date for The Cake Bake Shop at this time, though the restaurant continues to host private preview events for invited guests only.

The Cake Bake Shop has two other locations, both in Indiana. However, pricing for the same items across menus for those locations indicated that items are actually cheaper than they would be at Walt Disney World. For example, the Pesto Burrata found on the menu at both the Broad Ripple Village and Carmel City Center locations is priced at $28, while the dish was $34 at Disney’s BoardWalk.
