Most of the "Expected to open in 2023" statements have been recently removed from The Cake Bake Shop website.

Here's what it used to say -

Good call, considering I have seen one single construction worker there in the last four weeks and I'm at BW multiple times a week. Yikes.

It has pretty been just a couple of people since it bagan. Two or Three guys are single handidly building this place. No chance its opening in 2023.

I guess that is one cake shop that won't be rising to the occasion any time soon. I guess they did not put enough dough into this production. Maybe the idea is just too half baked. Its a pity because the former restaurant had a nice mix of sugar and spice but alas this one appears to be getting stale as everything has been baking out in the sun for a little too long. With this recent storm battering this construction I doubt this will be any form of tasty addition to the boardwalk for quite some time.

Seems like it needs more dough.

How about a high class New Jersey strip club?

Theme it to the turn of the century and it's closer to theme than about half the establishments at Boardwalk anyway

It would honestly be fun if a place had a “secret” downstairs prohibition-era bar.

 

[mgf]

If they had any sense they would put in a full blown pizzeria with late night hours. That window is overrun nightly.

Another one?

I was wondering where the TRON construction team went after it opened. Thanks for the update.

I understand after they finish this next year, “the guys” will then focus on converting TriceraTop Spin into the Moana spinner ahead of its highly-anticipated 2030 opening.

This had to be one of the stupidest decisions in the past few years.

I get that ESPN wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but a restaurant with later hours and a good amount of seating is something this area needed. A refresh of ESPN would have been far more logical than this nonsense that will probably never open.

This, but see that makes too much sense, which Disney and TDO doesn't have any more for the most part. This cake place really should have been in Disney Springs... and Im guessing someone ran out of money here....

For sure not the same but we learned recently that Yak and Yeti has a secret bar menu.

Oh, so any Jersey Shore beach pavilion!

Wait, I thought nobody wanted sports anything at WDW.

Seriously though, completely agree. Historically I think the biggest downfall has been the lack of transportation here. It was always such a pain to go here after park hours and try to get back to the hotel (heck, even during park hours if I'm not at Epcot). With the skyliner, you now have 7 hotels with direct access to that boardwalk.

Agree @LSLS that adding the Skyliner to connect CBR, Riv, Pop, and Art to the BoardWalk area was terrific for those Guests. Opened up easy access for expanded dining options.

Joe Rohde, if he were still with WDI, could pull off a kind of immersive realism here that even New Jerseyites would want to move here.
