A Sweet New Addition at the BoardWalk
Since its arrival at Disney’s BoardWalk, The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers has made a significant name for itself with its towering, decadent desserts and elegant French-inspired atmosphere. Known for using high-end ingredients and offering slices large enough to share, the shop has recently expanded its menu with a brand-new, limited-time offering: the Marshmallow Dream Cake.
This new addition is designed for fans of rich, complex chocolate flavors paired with light, airy textures. The slice features layers of French Valrhona chocolate cake—a premium ingredient often favored by pastry chefs for its deep cocoa notes—filled with silky chocolate ganache, fluffy marshmallow buttercream, and mini marshmallows. The exterior is finished with dreamy blue marshmallow buttercream ribbons and topped with signature Pixie Shimmer® mini marshmallows.
Understanding the Value of a Premium Slice
It is no secret that a visit to The Cake Bake Shop is an investment. With cake slices typically priced around $22.00, many guests wonder if the experience justifies the cost. The answer often lies in the quality of the components. By utilizing Valrhona chocolate and Callebaut ganache, the shop positions itself as a luxury bakery experience rather than a standard theme park snack stop.
- Shareability: These slices are famously massive. For most families, one slice is more than enough for two or even three people to share after a meal.
- Ingredient Integrity: The use of French-imported chocolate and specialized Pixie Shimmer® elements provides a level of detail not typically found in standard quick-service locations.
- Limited-Time Availability: As a seasonal or limited-edition item, the Marshmallow Dream Cake is expected to have a shorter run than staples like the Peanut Butter Crunch Cake or the Millionaire Cake.
Strategic Planning for Your Visit
If you are planning to try the Marshmallow Dream Cake during your 2026 vacation, you have two primary ways to access it. Guests can book a reservation for Table Service at The Cake Bake Shop Restaurant for a full sit-down experience, or they can visit the Bakery window for a Quick Service experience. The bakery window is an excellent option for those who want to take their treats back to their resort or enjoy them while walking along the BoardWalk toward the International Gateway at EPCOT.
For those who prefer a balance of salty and sweet, the Peanut Butter Crunch Cake remains a top recommendation. It features chocolate cake layers with peanut butter buttercream and crunchy chocolate pearls, providing a textural contrast that fans of the shop have come to love. However, the Marshmallow Dream Cake offers a lighter, fluffier alternative for those who find the ganache-heavy options too rich.
