About Nothing Bundt Cakes

To find the perfect recipe, you first need the perfect ingredients. And that’s what our founders Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz were for each other. In 1997, they joined forces, or better yet kitchens, to make cakes for their friends and family. The cakes they made were delicious, unlike anything anyone had tasted. As a result, their friends and family asked them to entertain more and more.

They quickly realized this side project of theirs could be something more. There was a gap in the world for delicious cakes, readily available, that didn’t compromise on their ingredients. Real eggs, butter and cream cheese; nothing was too good to achieve perfection. And perfection is that decadent, slowly melting bite of cake we all know and love.

Flash forward and the Nothing Bundt Cakes brand has grown nationwide. Built on Dena and Debbie’s vision, each bakery still has the warmth and nostalgia of its home-kitchen roots, but we also take a modern approach for the world today. So whether you’re enjoying a Bundt Cake or a Bundtinis®, one thing is certain – perfection is all we offer.

Nothing Bundt Cakes are made fresh easy day with the best ingredients to make for a delicious, deluxe dessert experience. The cakes retail in single serving sizes (aka Bundtlets), as well as larger cakes designed to cater to birthday and anniversary parties. Large custom orders are also accommodated. Nothing Bundt Cakes’s flavors include Red Velvet, Carrot, Lemon, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, White White Chocolate, Cinnamon Swirl, White Chocolate Raspberry, Pecan Praline, Marble, and a special flavor of the month.

We have more than 300 corporate and franchised bakeries in 40 U.S. states and Canada. Of the 300+ current Nothing Bundt Cakes bakeries, more than 90% are female-owned. We love what we do! Our brand purpose is to spread joy every day because we believe that real smiles are contagious!
