Imagine dropping $17 on a single slice of pie. Sounds outrageous, right? But that’s exactly what we did at Disney World’s The Cake Bake Shop Bakery, and now we’re left questioning whether it was a stroke of genius or a wallet-draining mistake. This is the part most people miss: while the bakery is a glittering, gold-adorned paradise of decadent treats, its jaw-dropping prices—$22 for a cake slice, $17 for pie—have sparked heated debates. So, when we heard about their new Blueberry Crumble Pie, we had to ask: Is it worth the splurge? Here’s our unfiltered take.
Nestled in Disney’s BoardWalk resort, The Cake Bake Shop Bakery is a feast for the eyes, but the real test is whether its desserts live up to the hype. The Blueberry Crumble Pie, priced at $17, features their signature all-butter pie crust stuffed with plump blueberries, lemon zest, and sugar, all crowned with a light brown sugar crumble. Sounds dreamy, right? But here’s where it gets controversial: while the flavors were undeniably divine, the experience wasn’t exactly seamless.
The pie arrived in the bakery’s iconic white box, wrapped in parchment paper—a classy touch. However, the moment we unwrapped it, blueberry juice began leaking everywhere. Pro tip: Grab a plate (we had to borrow one from the BoardWalk Deli next door) and extra napkins, because the bakery’s silverware setup makes it tricky to snag extras. And this is the part most people miss: for $17, you’d expect a mess-free experience, but this felt more like a DIY cleanup project.
Now, let’s talk taste. The blueberry filling? Out of this world. Juicy, bursting with flavor, and packed with whole blueberries for that perfect texture contrast. The crust? Buttery, soft, and a flawless match for the fruit. The crumble topping? A sweet, crumbly masterpiece that wasn’t the least bit dry. Every bite was a delight—no question about it.
Here’s the bold truth: If you’re a blueberry lover with cash to burn, this pie is a must-try. But is it worth $17? Our team was split. While the quality and flavor were top-notch, the messy packaging and unexpected hassle left us wondering if the price tag was justified. For that kind of money, we expected a flawless experience, not a juice-soaked adventure.
