About The Cake Bake Shop Restaurant by Gwendolyn Rogers

When celebrated Indianapolis baker and restaurateur Gwendolyn Rogers brought her iconic Cake Bake Shop brand to Disney’s BoardWalk in 2023, she didn’t just open a restaurant — she created an experience. The dining room and bar are an immersive fantasy of magic and wonder, filled with glittering chandeliers, floral arrangements, and the kind of whimsical elegance that feels perfectly at home in the Disney universe. Views of Crescent Lake complete the picture.

The menu reflects Gwendolyn’s eclectic culinary heritage — New Orleans-inspired gumbo, French bistro classics like Croque-Monsieur, and elevated American comfort food, all united by an obsessive commitment to quality. Ingredients like French bread imported daily from Gambino’s Bakery in New Orleans and Valrhona French chocolate in the cakes speak to the restaurant’s uncompromising standards.

But it is the cakes, ultimately, that make The Cake Bake Shop unforgettable. The signature Earl’s Court Chocolate Cake — with its layers of Belgian ganache and malted chocolate cream — and the Raspberry Champagne Cake have already become legendary among Disney dining enthusiasts. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, afternoon tea, or a full dinner, no meal here is complete without saving room for dessert.
