Here is a quick update on the construction progress at The Cake Bake Shop on Disney's BoardWalk, set to open later in 2023.

 

Crews continue to remove steel beams from the former ESPN Club building, with most of the central roof structure now removed.



Disney says, "The Cake Bake Shop will bring exquisite dining, delicious Afternoon Tea, delectable desserts, marvelous champagne and fanciful cocktails for an extraordinary and whimsical experience. "

The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, will be replacing the ESPN Club which closed as Walt Disney World shutdown during the pandemic.

to tone down the purple and make it look like something was happening I would guess....I have never seen that done before.....Maybe it is some sort of new proprietary Cake Bake Shop coating to seal in the freshness? lol

Hold it. They actually painted EPS boards?????? WHY??????

We were in a big remodel of a house down here in South Florida, and the contractor at one point had them paint the building just to distract from the fact that none of the important things had happened and he had not paid any of the subs...it was the cheapest thing he could do to make it look like the project was moving. This reminds me of that...... Hoping not though....The Corn Dog stand looks great though....

We're staying there next week, so I don't love our odds. I'm fine with the food trucks, but my husband is still holding out for corn dogs. 🤣

Meant to be this summer, last I’d heard. So they can stop bringing in random food trucks.

Not sure, but it looks very close to done

At this point, I might be more interested in the corn dog stand than the cake shop; at least the corn dog stand seems like it might actually open at some point. Any word on its opening date?

Funny, because that was exactly my thought as I watched them paint it

Who knows at this point...I think the paint is a distraction to make it look like something is actually happening....lol

I'm presuming that that's just a layer of grey mold that has overtaken the building.

At least the puple is most painted over. Does tgis mean the building will be receiving a "dryvit" type coating snd not a "typical" New England clap board or shingle exterior?

Still arguing with the insurance company after all these years. Poor bastards.

The poor corn dog stand was just an innocent victim of circumstance.
