If we’re spending $22 on a slice of cake, we want to love it, and these are the top three favorites that are worth your money!
Cake Bake Shop
The Cake Bake Shop Bakery on Disney’s BoardWalk is home to some of our favorite sweets at Disney World, and we’ve shared our ranking of all the cake slices we’ve tried. The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers can be found right next to the Cake Bake Shop Restaurant. It has been controversial among Disney fans — mostly for their massive cake slices that are $22 a piece! With that price tag, you want to make sure you’re going to love it.
A slice of Gwendolyn’s Famous Earl’s Court Chocolate Cake is made with Valrhona French chocolate cake filled with Callebaut Belgian chocolate ganache and malted chocolate cream. Topped with Callebaut Belgian chocolate fudge and Fleur de Sel.
Gwendolyn’s Famous Earl’s Court Chocolate Cake
The cake itself is fluffy but still has that slight density you want in a really good chocolate cake that’s rich and satisfying without being overly sweet. The chocolate flavor is deep and well-balanced, and then between each layer, you get this thick, creamy chocolate ganache that might have been our favorite part of the whole dessert. It’s smooth, sweet, intensely chocolatey, with even a little hint of nuttiness, and it’s layered so perfectly throughout the cake.
Look at the layers
Inside, there are also layers of malted chocolate cream, which are lighter in flavor and cooler in texture, and they do such a good job balancing out the heavier chocolate notes. It keeps the cake from feeling too rich all at once, even though it’s definitely indulgent. And then the top is just incredible: a thick Belgian chocolate fudge layer finished with fleur de sel, which adds this subtle saltiness that cuts through the sweetness in the best way. It’s beautifully done, beautifully plated, and even dusted with a little edible glitter, because of course it is.
A bite
When we tried the Millionaire Cake. This cake is made of multiple layers of moist chocolate cake with inserts of chocolate ganache, buttercream icing, creamy caramel, and shortbread crumbs. To put it bluntly, this thing is heavenly!
Millionaire’s Cake
If you’re a fan of a good Millionaire’s Shortbread (which, hello, that’s us), you’re going to fall in love all over again with this version of a classic treat. The entire cake was so soft and melted in your mouth, and it’s encased on the sides and top in a layer of milk chocolate topped with more caramel drizzle and shortbread crumbs.
Delicious!
The Peanut Butter Crunch Cake is number one in our hearts. This was layers of chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream, chocolate ganache, and crunchy chocolate pearls between the layers. That chocolate was rich and sweet, and the ganache complemented the peanut butter nicely. The peanut butter buttercream was our favorite part, though — a delightful peanut butter flavor and some excellent texture from the crunchy pearls that made it more unique.

The cake itself was moist and thick, and, as usual, very high quality. The whole thing is sprinkled with edible glitter, which just makes it all the more magical. We highly recommend this treat if you’re a chocolate and PB lover — like us! This cake slice was the monthly limited edition cake, but we’re hoping it will stick around!
YUM!
I know I am already dreaming of which one I’ll be grabbing on my next trip to the Cake Bake Shop! For Disney dining reviews, news, and more, be sure to follow DisneyFoodBlog.
