Construction of The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s Boardwalk is finally nearing completion. Crews have been installing gutters and testing newly installed lighting fixtures.
The Cake Bake Shop Construction
Last week, we reported that The Cake Bake Shop had installed more lighting fixtures, signs, and details. The new Disney’s BoardWalk venue started hiring for multiple positions back in March.
During our last visit, we saw a construction crew member working on the exterior gutters near the restaurant entrance.
When we were watching crews at work, we noticed that both of The Cake Bake Shop signs were testing their embedded twinkling lights.
Dozens of these miniature lights flicker in a glittering golden pattern. This effect will be easier to see during the evening, but it is such a fun addition to what would be a typical restaurant sign.
Here, the crew member is attaching a water spout to the gutter. The water spout is covered by the exterior wall running down the building.
Here is a closer look at the twinkling lights on the sign. You can see where some of them are off and others are on at different intensities.
From this angle, it appears that the wall touching the BoardWalk has been painted. Previously, this wall was still a concrete gray. There were construction crews inside the restaurant as well, and while we couldn’t see them, we could hear them working.
We received this nighttime video from WDWNT reader @j.a.hass on Instagram of The Cake Bake Shop signs lights twinkling at night. They report that this past Wednesday night was the first night that the twinkling lights were turned on.
