Bubble Room Cake Back In Fort Myers This Weekend

Author Gina Birch
February 10th 7:35 AM

Apparently Fort Myers residents and Southwest Floridians can’t get enough of it. The famous Bubble Room cake back in Fort Myers this weekend for another pop up run.  It all started three weeks ago when the owners of the Broadway Palm Dinner Theater gave the world famous Captiva Island restaurant use of its kitchen for the weekend. The cakes sold out in three hours.

The Bubble Room was severely damaged by Hurricane Ian and like many island businesses has been closed since the storm hit on September 28th.

About the Bubble Room

The Bubble Room is an iconic island restaurant, known for its shadow box tables in the dining room and an old train traveling along the ceiling. The place is a treasure trove of trinkets and antiques. Servers are known as Bubble Scouts and the menu items have clever names. Some include, Duck Wellington, Smoke Get’s In Your Eyes, Marylin Mignon and more.

In addition, The Bubble Room is known for its cheesy Bubble Bread, sweet Sticky Buns and massive cakes. The slices of cake are legendary. Locals driving to Captiva for the day would almost always take time to stop for a slice to go. It was an adventure.

The desserts had taken on such a life of their own that the restaurant opened a parking lot outpost called Boops By The Bubble Room.  Not only could you find slices of cake but also cookies, donuts, ice cream and more. It’s an old fashioned soda fountain that is also still closed.

For this weekend, go to the back of the Broadway Palm Dinner Theater on Colonial Blvd and Summerlin Rd to get your cake. It starts at 11am and goes until 2pm or when it runs out. Whole cakes are $63 and slices are $9.50. You can not order in advance. It is first come, first delicious serve.

 

Returning To Sanibel Island

Returning to Sanibel Island has been nearly impossible since Hurricane Ian destroyed the Sanibel Causeway on September 28th. It was the only way to get on and off the island, other than by boat. Yesterday, for the first time since the storm, hundreds of bucket trucks were able to slowly drive across. Their important mission is to begin repairing lines and restoring power. The bridge is still not safe for regular traffic but workers have miraculously made it passable enough to continue restoration efforts.

Just look at this site.  Bucket trucks lined up almost as far as the eye can see. It seems impossible that just weeks after being washed away in several places, that the causeway is actually passable. Right now the road is only open to emergency workers. Civilians are not allowed on the island, via the causeway, until October 21st.

Until yesterday, the only way workers were able to reach the island was via helicopter, boats and barges. However, this temporary bridge fix will  expedite clean up and repair efforts in a major way.

Passes to return to Sanibel Island

Residents and business owners need passes to return to the island. That or a driver’s license with your Sanibel or Captiva address on it. If you don’t have one, the reentry passes are being issued at The Crown Plaza Hotel in Fort Myers. It’s located behind The Bell Tower Shops. This is where city officials have set up a temporary, satellite city hall of sorts.

Here are some pictures of the Sanibel Causeway after Ian hit. It makes returning to Sanibel Island after only two weeks seem like an incredible feat. It is, but it is happening thanks to an incredible amount of work and fortitude. Thank you to all of the linemen and construction crews who have run to our aid. We are truly grateful.
