Yes, you read that right — there’s a million-dollar sundae at Disney World now.
Well, technically it’s not a million dollars, but it feels like it belongs in a billionaire’s dessert cart. The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers just dropped a new sundae on the menu, and it’s got that over-the-top sparkle we’ve come to expect from the fanciest restaurant on Disney property. We got a reservation the second we heard about it — and trust us, this is the kind of treat you’ll want to know about before you book your next Disney trip.
So, if you’ve ever strolled around the BoardWalk and laid eyes on The Cake Bake Shop, you already know this place isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a full-on vibe. We’re talking chandeliers and desserts that look like they were made for a royal tea party. It’s not cheap, but hey, it’s Disney — and this place leans into that luxurious, dreamy energy HARD.
Now, the newest showstopper on their menu is the Millionaire Sundae, and spoiler: it’s as rich as it sounds. This isn’t your basic theme park ice cream cup — this thing is layered, decadent, and honestly? Pretty photogenic.
Here’s what you get: a homemade brownie (and yes, you can choose gluten-free or walnut), your choice of housemade ice cream (vanilla or chocolate), plus chocolate sauce, caramel drizzle, whipped cream, and shortbread cookie pieces crumbled over the top. And just when you think it can’t get any more extra, they finish it off with a healthy pour of Ghirardelli chocolate. It’s like if a Millionaire Bar from your favorite bakery had a glow-up and moved to Beverly Hills.
Now, before you get sticker shock, let’s talk price — because this sundae has two options. You can grab the standard version for $16.99, which is honestly pretty fair for a massive dessert at one of the most upscale restaurants on Disney property. Or you can opt for the $74.99 version that comes in a fancy porcelain Swan Boat you can take home. Yeah, that part’s kinda wild. It’s very cute and very bougie, but unless you’re collecting pink porcelain keepsakes, we think the $17 version is the sweet spot.
Flavor-wise? It’s a knockout. We tried the vanilla ice cream with the walnut brownie, and every bite was a swirl of warm brownie, melty caramel, buttery shortbread, and cold, rich vanilla. This thing is sweet, yes, but it’s also super well-balanced. The brownie adds a dense, chewy texture that works so well with the creamy ice cream and crisp shortbread. It’s not one of those “looks good but tastes like nothing” desserts — this thing DELIVERS.
What surprised us the most is how shareable it is. Like, you could absolutely split this with someone (if you’re nice like that). And for folks who’ve been eyeing those $22 cake slices on the menu but don’t want to commit to a sugar bomb that intense, this sundae is a great alternative. Still decadent, still indulgent, but a little easier to manage. And way easier on your wallet.
Here’s the one big heads-up: you can’t get this sundae at the bakery counter. It’s a restaurant-only item, so if you’re thinking of just popping in for a quick dessert to go, you’re out of luck. You’ll need to book a reservation, sit down, and really take in the whole experience — and honestly? That’s kind of the point. The Cake Bake Shop isn’t just about eating dessert — it’s about making dessert feel like an event. And this sundae fits right into that philosophy. It’s rich, it’s a little ridiculous, and it’s exactly the kind of treat that makes you go, “Okay, this is what Disney food is really about.”
If you’ve got a sweet tooth, a love for all things over-the-top, or you just want to treat yourself to something a little fancier on your next trip, go ahead and add this one to your must-try list. And who knows — you might just feel like a millionaire while you’re digging into it.
