The Cake Bake Shop at Disney's BoardWalk has unveiled its August cake slice, and it's a classic with serious flair: a Boston Cream Pie Cake priced at $22 a slice.
The dessert stacks six layers of vanilla cake filled with homemade pastry cream and vanilla buttercream, then finishes with Cake Bake's Belgian fudge frosting, vanilla buttercream dollops, and maraschino cherries on top — a combination that reviewers say is surprisingly light despite its elaborate construction.
Boston cream pie isn't a flavor that pops up often around Walt Disney World, which makes this limited-time slice a bit of a novelty. The chocolate ganache edge provides richness without overwhelming the delicate vanilla layers beneath it, and the generous portion size makes it reasonable for sharing — though, as the review notes, going solo is equally understandable.
The bakery counter at The Cake Bake Shop doesn't require a reservation, so guests can walk up and order without any advance planning. The Boston Cream Pie Cake is available for the month of August only, so the window to try it is relatively short.
