If you’re someone who doesn’t prefer to spend a fortune on sweet treats in Disney World, we’re warning you now — this post very well may change your mind.
Pecan Pie at The Cake Bake Shop
We talk about The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk quite often, and how much we love it, but to be honest, our wallets don’t feel the same. It’s no secret that it’s one of most expensive spots for desserts in all of Disney World, but it’s part of our job to keep going back time and time again to give you our full review on all the latest snacks that land on the menu. A new pecan pie just landed on the menu here, but is it really worth a $15 price tag? We’re finding out!
One slice of Pecan Pie at The Cake Bake Shop will cost you $15, and while that seems like a lot, this is a Southern-style Georgia pecan pie that’s a version of The Swan House in Georgia. To get the perfect pie texture, the recipe calls for chopping some pecans and leaving others whole, baking it in the Cake Bake Shop’s signature all-butter pie dough crust, and then adding a bit of raw brown sugar for extra sparkle and crunch.
Delicious!
This pie is indeed absolutely loaded with pecans! They are deliciously toasted, so crunchy, and the flavors come through. The classic pecan pie filling isn’t overpowering, and it’s thick-set, so we appreciated that it didn’t ooze everywhere. As with so many holiday pies, the crust looks gorgeous on the outside, especially on the back corner, but with how much filling there is, you can’t taste it.
Look at that crust!
Now, we do wish it came with something a little lighter, like vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, as the sweet flavor here does get a little overwhelming after a few bites, but if you’re someone who absolutely adores pecan pie, you likely won’t share this same sentiment. It’s also a great piece of pie that can be shared between two people, which helps mitigate cost as well!
Pecans beyond!
