    Hi Sam and Jay!
    Thank you so much for going to The Cake Bake Shop yesterday and posting this video so quickly!
    We were so looking forward to watching your video 👏🏻👍🏻
    When we saw the peanut butter pie in the Bakery’s menu we thought about Jay.
    Thank you so much Sam for staying up late to have dinner there and thank you both for bringing us along!
    We can’t wait to give the Bakery a try 😋🍰
    They just need to to give sturdier plastic spoons and forks at the Bakery 🍰🥧

      You are so sweet and thanks for watching so quick! Jay is synonymous with PB chocolate desserts and this was worth the $16.99. It was a late night, but we still made it to our day jobs on time this morning :) Running on sugar and pixie dust. I am hoping those spoons were temporary because it didn't meet the aesthetic of the restaurant and wasn't sturdy enough for such a thick dessert!

    Hi Sam & Jay 👋 ☺️!! Thanks for sharing your dining experience at both The Cake Bake Shop & Restaurant. The decor was absolutely elegantly beautiful. Sam, I believe you commented with the word "bougie" was dead on. In the restaurant, the ceiling decor/molding reminded me of pre-war apartments in NYC, where I live. The atmosphere wanted to offer you a "white glove" experience. I AGREE with you wholeheartedly about the pricing. Just to compare. For $27.99 (the cost of Sam's half sandwiches), you can get a Katz deli (NYC - Harry met Sally) corned beef or pastrami sandwiches. These sandwiches are piled so high, literally, you can make 2 - 3 sandwiches from them. I think with the Cake Shop pricing, you are paying for the elegant decor, ambiance, their "rent & electric." (LOL) With that pricing, the food & flavors really need to knock your socks off & based on your low enthusiasm, it did not.
    Thank you for this experience. I really love your variety of choices in restaurants and their foods. See you for the next one. 😊 ❤ 🐶❤

Also, it was funny to say the thing to get here is sweets when the name is Cake Bake shop. It's not just you, I mentioned a seafood restaurant I love where I live and the friend said yes, but the corn dog bites are meh.

But the fact all of this is more expensive than places I go to already in Los Angeles gives me pause about this feeling a bit more spendy than it needs to be.

    Extra TPF video, yes please! 💃🕺🏻So nice to see you guys today, such a nice surprise. I've been really excited (like every WDW food fanatic 😂) to see this place. Everything looks beautiful! I'm thinking it should be inside the Grand Floridian. Sam's sandwiches are ridiculous. For that price you should have house roasted turkey, and a pile of it with a side of hand cut fries. That looks like Oscar Myer turkey and frozen fries. That's disappointing. We will stick to the cakes 😊 my husband is so jealous of the peanut butter pie. Those are his favorite flavors. (Get better spoons!)
    Thanks for another awesome video and review. I just love being able to see this place! You guys are the best. Frank would be proud ❤

      We were surprised too hahaha It really is stunning and does seem like Grand Flo would have been better placement. I think putting it so close to Epcot where there are so many great offerings is risky business. The desserts are in a league of their own though! Thank you for always treating us with such kindness and support. We miss Frank so much- my wish I made at the restaurant was to be able to see him again.

Just seems like it has to be something so special to get people to go out of the way for, and just don't think this is enough at these prices.

    • @ThemeParkFoodies

      That's what gets me- walking distance to EPCOT where there's so many great offerings. The sandwiches at the France quick service are half the price and better than this.

It seems like they have a huge imbalance between their pastry/bread/cake offerings and all the other food they offer. The baked goods seem to be top tier and worth the price, while the other items are more of an afterthought. They need to step up their game so the quality of their savory dishes matches the desserts, or else seriously think about lowering their prices.

    Price should NOT be a factor when you are on vacation at a luxury resort, especially at Disney. I can see where we would not go all the time but you’re sitting in a beautiful place eating very well prepared food with quality ingredients . You guys are spot on and I love you to death but on this I have to disagree. How much are the entrees at FLYING FISH? CHEFS TABLE AT V&A WITH PAIRING? Let’s face it life’s expensive and if you are there you make choices based on your budget. I could see this conversation if this bake shop was built at Pop Century but at that resort. It’s right in line.

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  11 часов назад +4

      We definitely indulge in a lot of expensive meals and we come to expect hefty price tags in the Disney bubble. With that being said, if I thought the food was above average I wouldn't mind the price. My sandwiches were incredibly weak, and Les Halles in Epcot has better for half the price. I do agree the atmosphere is unmatched and you are paying for that elegant environment and superior service. The pricey desserts are worth it, some of the absolute best and you can taste the quality ingredients and the portions are shareable, which helps justify the cost. Very interested in trying out the brunch options and the tea time. We aren't writing this place off, just for us the dinner portion didn't wow us. We appreciate your comment and insight :)
