The popular Disney BoardWalk restaurant The Cake Bake Shop is now facing multiple legal challenges from former employees who allege wage theft violations. At least eleven lawsuits have been filed against the establishment, with most recent cases resulting in settlements. Workers claim they were required to perform excessive non-tipped duties such as janitorial work while still being paid at the lower tipped wage rate. The restaurant owner Gwendolyn Rogers has firmly rejected these accusations, stating they are false and do not reflect her business culture. Her legal team argues their pay practices followed proper Department of Labor guidelines in good faith. This controversy adds to previous discussions about the restaurant’s high prices that have drawn attention since its 2024 opening. The situation remains under investigation with more updates expected as legal proceedings continue.
