“We have always had a great experience at Cake Bake. We only go for special occasions since it can be pricey, but the food and service has always been amazing and I dream about the red velvet cake. We went for my birthday and they made it so special. Also, the decor is gorgeous year-round but even better during the holidays. My 4 year old niece was in awe. Like I said, the price can be shocking, but it’s a fancy restaurant on Disney property so I’m not sure what people are expecting. And the food itself is reasonably priced for a Disney restaurant and the quality- what tends to be expensive is the cake. But again, it’s a fancy restaurant on Disney property….”
“I was hesitant to try after reading some of the reviews, but I’m so glad that we tried it. I brought my daughter to celebrate her birthday. It was WONDERFUL from start to finish! My daughter enjoyed the you pick two with a chicken salad croissant and a blackberry avocado salad and I had the caprese sandwich with a cup of tomato soup. Everything was fresh and delicious! We also loved our drinks… London fog latte and Anichai hot tea. We had a hard time deciding on a dessert with their large selection, but we narrowed it down to a slice of Mixed Berry Cheesecake. Our awesome waiter, Mark, even sprinkled pixie dust on my daughter and lit a candle that he had put on the cheesecake. It was a memorable and special day and we both loved it. Prices are a little high, so not something you’d do every day, but wonderful for a special occasion. We look forward to returning soon!”
“This place is great! Yes, it's on Disney property, but NOT owned by Disney, so the food is just that much better. It's expensive but everything we tried was just delicious! It was just a beautiful place and the desserts were even better. Highly recommend. Loved getting morning coffee and walking the boardwalk back to the Yacht club resort. This place is a great addition to the boardwalk area. It most definitely was a good stop and place for us. Some of the service was slower at times, but the place is new and everyone is learning. Not sure why all the negative reviews. If you go to Disney expecting cheap, than why even go, nothing is cheap lol! The price was worth the food/desserts. Much better than the mass produced items Disney offers.”
“Walking into The Cake Bake Shop is a complete sensory experience. The décor and the "vibe" are so stunning that many people stop in just to marvel at the surroundings. There was a wonderful sense of excitement in the air; I loved hearing the other guests—both men and women—openly expressing how impressed they were. It’s the kind of place that creates a genuine "wow" moment for everyone who enters. The staff perfectly complement this atmosphere, wearing elegant uniforms that complete the theme. I was greeted by a gentleman at the entrance who was exceptionally attentive and kind, making me feel welcome from the very start. The highlights of my visit were: The Atmosphere: Pure magic, right down to the delicate sprinklings of edible glitter on the cakes. The Treats: I had the Raspberry Champagne Cake, and the flavors were exquisite. I also highly recommend the dark chocolate and raspberry truffle for an extra bit of indulgence. The Wine: The selection is small but sounded good and I ended up purchasing a bottle of the Fortant Grenache Rosé to take home with me so I could continue the experience later! The Value: While it is a splurge at $22 per slice, the combination of the world-class flavors and the enchanting environment makes it worth every penny. This isn't just a bakery; it’s an experience that leaves you—and everyone around you—feeling completely charmed.”
“During our holiday in February to Orlando, we dined at the Cake Bake shop restaurant, now let me just say firstly, this place is beautiful...secondly, the staff are all very welcoming, polite and professional....thirdly, every dish we are between us both tasted amazing! If you want to splurge on an evening dinner, then this is the place to do it...and especially if you are a dessert person like me!....My Husband and I each had three courses and shared a bottle of Moscato. Each course was brought to our table with beautiful presentation and we didn't need to wait long between courses either. I was pleasantly surprised as it was a busy evening in the restaurant. The high standard from all the staff and our waiter remained so throughout our evening. Once we'd had our first two courses, it was time to pick a dessert each, now with us both having a sweet tooth, we chose one each....and of course not thinking about how big the desserts were. The sizes of the slices of cakes are massive....you could share one between two or three. I went for the carrot cake, and I can honestly say it was probably some of the best carrot cake I have ever eaten....it was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend trying this cake. Of course, I couldn't finish it so, they gave me a container to take it away in...and of course the container and bag it came with was stunning. I still use the container now, as I took it home. If you are thinking about getting a reservation here, just do it...you will not be disappointed. In my opinion, it is definitely worth the price tag.”
