Disney fans are expressing outrage over the high prices at the new Cake Bake Shop located at Disney World, where slices of cake start at $22. The shop, set to open this fall, replaces the ESPN Club and is owned by an independent operator, not Disney. Menu items include Gwendolyn's Famous Earl's Court Chocolate Cake priced at $26 per slice and other desserts with similarly steep prices.
