A First Taste

The team and bakers recently stopped by the radio station to share a preview ahead of opening day, and it definitely made an impression. Even for someone who doesn’t usually go out of their way for dessert, these bundtlets stood out. They were incredibly moist, rich without being too heavy, and the kind of treat that feels just right for gifting or bringing to a gathering!

A Sweet Story Behind the Cakes

What started as a simple idea between two friends has grown into something much bigger. Back in 1997, founders Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz began baking bundt cakes in their Las Vegas home kitchens, driven by a shared love of baking and bringing people together. That small start quickly turned into something special, with their cakes gaining a loyal following and spreading far beyond their neighborhood.

Today, Nothing Bundt Cakes has grown into the nation’s top specialty cake company, with hundreds of locations serving up millions of cakes each year. Even with that growth, the heart of the brand hasn’t changed. It’s still all about celebrating life’s moments, big or small, with cakes made to share, gift, and enjoy.

Flavors Worth Celebrating

The menu offers plenty of variety, with flavors ranging from classic favorites to a few fun twists. Options include Strawberry Cheesecake Swirl, Red Velvet, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Raspberry, Confetti, Lemon, Strawberries and Cream, Oreo Cookies and Cream, Classic Vanilla, and Carrot. There are even a couple of gluten-free choices like Chocolate Chip Cookie and Lemon Raspberry, making it easy for everyone to grab a slice of something sweet.

***The menu may vary slightly by location.

Pick Your Perfect Size

No matter the size of your celebration, there’s an option to match. Full-sized bundt cakes come in 8-inch, 10-inch, and even tiered designs that make a statement at larger gatherings. If you’re looking for something more personal, bundtlets are the perfect single-serving treat, while bundtinis come by the dozen for easy sharing at parties, offices, or events. There are also gluten-free options available!

More Than Just Cake

It’s not just about dessert here. If you’re planning a celebration, you can pick up a few extras to make it even easier. From colorful party candles and sparkler candles that add a little wow factor, to serving packs with plates, forks, and everything you need to dish out cake without the hassle, they’ve thought of the details.

You can even grab balloon bouquets in different sizes to round things out and bring a little extra fun to the party. It’s basically a one-stop shop for turning any moment into a celebration without making multiple trips around town.
