| - Nothing Bundt Cakes is a clever play on words, but seriously this shop is so much MORE than cakes! I was tickled when I walked in this place. It is more like a boutique cake shoppe without the sky-high prices and stuffy service.
We were greeted right away, not only by a friendly face but with samples. I expected the samples to be a little dried out on the edges (ya know, from sitting for a while) but this little morsel of red velvet cake was as luscious as can be.
We walked around for a bit to check out all the merchandise. This is a great place to stop if you're on your way to a birthday and need a cake, card and gift. Lots of fun serving platters, holiday décor, cards, drinkware, candles.
Then we eyed up the case. They have several different sizes of cakes, including cupcake-sized bundt cakes sold by the dozen. I mean, dessert doesn't get any CUTER than that! We were only looking for cake for 4 people so we went with the Bundlet size. I would estimate it's about 4 inches in diameter, 3 inches tall? We pulled a couple of flavors and ended up with way more cake than we needed. We took home White Chocolate Raspberry, Carrot Cake, and Lemon Cake.
Each only cost $4.25 which I thought was more than reasonable.
They were packaged up in a nice little plastic clamshell that kept the cake and frosting in tact. When we got them home, they looked as beautiful as the cakes pictured on their website. Now we can finally talk about how delicious and moist these cakes were! (Sorry for all of you who despise that word) The cake was so dense, but not in a gross heavy way. The frosting (which I typically don't like) was awesome. The lemon cake (and maybe all of them) had a white frosting that tasted sort of cream-cheesy? It was amazing. What great flavor, expert baking, and perfect balance.
The girl who rang us up was very helpful, quick, and friendly. I can't wait to tell everyone I know about this shop and of course, I can't wait to come back for more bundt cakes!
