A new cake shop, located at Disney’s Florida theme park, is opening this fall and is being criticized for its high prices, with fans calling the cost of some food items “obscene” and “offensive.”
The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers on the BoardWalk at Disney World in Orlando is set to open on a not yet disclosed date later this year after replacing the ESPN Club, which closed in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but Disney fans are criticizing the shop’s menu prices ahead of its opening.
“These prices are obscene,” one person said on Reddit.
The menu was posted outside the bakery, which is not owned by Disney, showing prices that include a slice of cake starting at $22.
The cake offerings will include Gwendolyn’s Famous Earl’s Court Chocolate Cake at $26 a slice, Oprah’s “O” List Mint Chocolate Cake at $24 a slice and Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Roll cake for $22 a slice.
