Disney World fans have fumed over “obscene” prices at a new cake shop opening up at Disney ’s Boardwalk in Florida , with prices for a slice of cake reaching up to $26 (£19), much higher than its other stores outside of the park. The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, located on the Boardwalk at Disney World in Orlando , is set to open now that construction appears to have been completed, yet an official opening date is yet to be announced. Ahead of the establishment opening, some Disney fans have noticed that menus have been posted outside the new eatery, revealing several flavours of three-layered cakes, pastries, and ice creams, as well as a restaurant menu that will be available to guests strolling down the BoardWalk once it opens.
The Cake Bake Shop’s menu includes three-layered cakes, such as Oprah’s ‘O’ List mint chocolate chip cake selling for $24 (£18), a pumpkin-spiced cinnamon roll cake for $22 (£16), and a Gwendolyn’s famous Earl’s Court chocolate cake priced at $26 (£19). After the YouTube channel Fantasy Land News posted a video of the new menus – one for the bakery and one for the restaurant –some people were not so happy with the prices of the bakery items. “These prices are obscene.
$11 for a hot chocolate. Water with a bit of chocolate powder. $8 for a cup of Earl Gray tea,” one person on Reddit wrote.
“I think I’m going to avoid going to this place solely out of principle. Those prices are utterly outrageous” another sai.
