We Ranked 15 Popular Nothing Bundt Cakes Flavors
Sure, you can bake a good Bundt cake, but sometimes you have too much on your plate, and none of it is the Bundt cake you're craving. Nothing Bundt Cakes is clutch in these situations. The brand, which sells Bundt cakes in various sizes and flavors, launched in 1997 and has grown to more than 500 bakeries across the U.S. and Canada. The name is a bit of a misnomer—the bakery does, in fact, do more than bake cakes. The cakes can come decorated for any occasion—with sports-themed centerpieces like basketballs, baseballs, and soccer balls for your fall sports needs, witchy bundts for Halloween, and what is Thanksgiving without a giant turkey-topped bundt cake? All options. For fall, there's the fail-proof pumpkin spice bundt. The brand bakes cakes in various sizes—Bunditinis (similar to cupcakes), personal-sized Bundtlets and 8- to 10-inch cakes that can feed more than two dozen. And they offer even more options when it comes to flavors. The menu features 10 core flavors and rotates seasonal flavors in and out, from limited-edition Caramel Apple Cider to limited edition Snickerdoodle. With so many options in mind, it can be hard to decide which Nothing Bundt Cakes flavor you should choose. To help you out, we scoured the Internet and consulted our tastebuds to bring this unscientific but highly necessary list of Nothing Bundt Cakes flavors, ranked. Related: Vanilla is a quintessential cake flavor, albeit one that can disappoint the rather vocal contingency of chocolate fans out there. Nothing Bundt Cakes' vanilla cake is creamy and hits all the classic notes, allowing it to be a blank canvas for a dessert plate loaded with other sweets. Where this Classic Vanilla Nothing Bundt Cake flavor falls short is really in the creativity. Vanilla is as groundbreaking as flowers for spring. You can get the flavor anywhere, anytime, and it's possible to make a case to skip out on paying a premium price for one. Related: Nothing Bundt Cakes added this flavor to its summer lineup in 2022, to mixed reviews. "I got this flavor yesterday, and it was everything I wanted it to be," wrote a Facebook commenter. "[It] may be one of my favorite flavors yet, and [I] hope it sticks around." However, another wrote, "If you are expecting a true traditional key lime flavor, this is not it." Someone agreed it was the first Nothing Bundt Cake flavor that they didn't like because of the aftertaste. Nothing Bundt Cakes plans has brought this flavor back for the past few summers, so you can decide if this riff on the classic dessert is a hit or a miss for you. Related: Offered: Winter Made with real chocolate chips and peppermint pieces, this festive Nothing Bundt Cake flavor tastes like a candy cane It depends on who you ask. While some fans say that this cake puts them in the holiday spirit, the comments sections of social media posts announcing the return of Peppermint Chocolate Chip are often full of people saying the brand is on their naughty list for not bringing back Gingerbread instead. The flavor is "Blueberry Bliss," but Nothing Bundt Cake fans have differing opinions on whether this flavor lives up to the name. While some call the blueberry-swirled white cake "yummy" and "one of their favorites," others have called on the brand to mix the berry-flavoring with lemon instead. Related: This fruity flavor was added to the year-round Nothing Bundt Cake menu in 2014. There's a surprise inside: There's some white chocolate mixed in with the bright berries, creating the strawberries-and-cream vibe. For those who don't like the berry or view it as a seasonal fruit, this Nothing Bundt Cake flavor may hit differently when the weather is too cold to talk about. That said, if you're a year-round berry fan, you might want to give this one a try. Related: Carrot cakes can be controversial, regardless of their form. I mean, who eats cake to taste carrots? Nothing Bundt Cakes' carrot confections also have a polarizing following. The timeless cake has carrot and pineapple pieces throughout. The traditional cinnamon and nutmeg flavor (and fragrance) is designed to warm the body and soul on a cold day, whether that be a rainy day in April or a chilly December afternoon. Some say this option is their favorite Nothing Bundt Cake flavor. Others prefer to pass, including a carrot defender who noted, "The only flavor I didn't like even though I am a carrot was too sweet — sorry," the person wrote. Related: Nothing screams "celebration" than a confetti-dotted Bundt cake. Reddit fans have raved that this multi-colored Nothing Bundt Cake flavor indulges their "child-like palate," while another called it the "best and most subtle cake they have." The aesthetic is charming and fits any occasion, from birthday bashes (particularly on too-adorable bundtinis) to New Year's Eve soirees. Yet, the flavor is similar to Classic Vanilla and suffers from the same issue—it's so common, albeit cuter. The lack of wow factor takes Confetti down a peg, but it's still worth celebrating. Lemon may get a "boring" peg similar to vanilla, but this sweet-meets-sour Nothing Bundt Cakes flavor is popular among Reddit fans. One noted it was "basically" the only flavor they got. The citrusy flavor juxtaposed with the rich Bundt cake and the tangy cream cheese icing on top makes this treat one for all seasons. Related: This seasonal flavor hits Nothing Bundt Cakes' menus each summer, and it's arguably the brand's most refreshing option. The zesty lemon combines with sweet-tangy raspberries to create a flavor that proves a Bundt cake's density doesn't limit it to cold-weather affairs. It's moist, sweet and, as a Yelp reviewer said, "very mouth-watering indeed." One of the reviewers' biggest gripes on Yelp and Instagram is that Nothing Bundt Cakes doesn't offer the lemon raspberry year-round. Related: People love themselves some Nothing Bundt Cakes. The biggest wish some make? More gluten-free options, at least if comments on pretty much every one of the brand's social media posts are to be believed. Right now, only the Chocolate Chip Cookie flavor fits the gluten-free bill. This flavor is made with real-deal mini chocolate chips and has a rich flavor and decent texture, making it a worthy option whether you're on a gluten-free diet or not. Related: Offered: Fall Are you really a food brand if you don't have a Pumpkin Spice something these days? Not really. However, having something pumpkin-flavored and having something good that's pumpkin-flavored are two different things. Fans say that Nothing Bundt Cakes' Pumpkin Spice option is "delicious," with even pumpkin-hesitant types enjoying it. "I didn't even think I liked pumpkin spice, but I guess I do now, " one Redditor wrote of the timeless blend of spices, highlighted by so-fall cinnamon and nutmeg. The tangy cream cheese frosting was basically designed for this flavor. Related: Lemon Raspberry is a seasonal offering, but Raspberry White Chocolate is blissfully on Nothing Bundt Cakes' menus all the time. The fluffy, white chocolate cake has zesty raspberry swirls and the creamy decadence of white chocolate balances out fruity puree. All told it creates a rollercoaster for tastebuds that's all peaks and no valleys. Even people who steer clear of white chocolate find this Nothing Bundt Cake flavor irresistible. Another option that'll keep cookie and cake lovers satisfied, Snickerdoodle's perfect blend of cinnamon and sugar hits all the right notes. In addition to the cream cheese frosting, the cookie-cake combo comes topped with a thin layer of sugar that makes it extra tasty, and extra fun. The flavor is familiar, but using a classic cookie as the inspiration for a cute Bundt cake is charming—and delicious. Related: This moist Bundt Cake is a chocolate lover's dream. The chocolate base is rich and smooth, while chocolate chips add crunch and (almost) more flavor than tastebuds can handle. The tang of the cream cheese frosting keeps it from being too cocoa-forward (if that's possible). However, consider this pro-tip from a Redditor: It may sound like heresy, but one fan recommends trying it without the frosting. "It's so good warm and unfrosted," the person wrote (at least try it warm for a fresh-baked-cookie vibe). Related: The Red Velvet cake's decadence warms the tastebuds like a luxurious blanket. The chocolate cake batter has hints of vanilla, and the scarlet-red hue will stand out even among the most delicious offerings on a dessert table. The chocolate chips inside prove there's nothing "half-baked" about Nothing Bundt Cakes' riff on the classic Southern treat. Take it from one Redditor who declared their favorite Nothing Bundt Cakes flavor: "Red velvet, and it has chocolate chips inside—OMG." Related: Up Next:

Michael Jordan autograph, luxury getaways up for bid in auction for Detroit students
A private plane trip to Mackinac Island with a weekend stay at the Inn at Stonecliffe, along with autographed items from legends like Michael Jordan, Bobby Knight and Billy Sims, are among the standout items in an auction benefiting Detroit Cristo Rey High School. The silent auction — part of a rooftop benefit at the Godfrey Hotel Detroit on Friday, May 16 — is currently live and open to the public online, though tickets to the in-person event have already sold out. Detroit Cristo Rey, located in southwest Detroit, is a coeducational Catholic high school open to students of all faiths. It offers a college preparatory education and a unique work-study program. The school boasts a 100% college acceptance rate since its first graduating class in 2012. Proceeds from the auction will help support students as they prepare for college and careers. "Our population of students comes from limited economic means," said the school's VP of communications and auction coordinator, Nicole Gize. More: Scrap yard fire in SW Detroit stinks up several cities in Wayne County; air tests clear Students help cover the cost of their tuition by working one day a week from freshman through senior year at more than 60 companies, including "Henry Ford Health, Corwell Health, Visit Detroit and General Motors, just to name a few,' Gize added. Philanthropic efforts, grants, and donations, including events like the May 16 auction, help cover about 45% of Detroit Cristo Rey students' college tuition costs. Other auction items up for grabs include a cruise on Lake St. Clair, a group retreat on Lake Huron, tickets to Detroit Tigers and Red Wings games, more signed sports memorabilia, a night at the Godfrey Hotel, a year's supply of Dutch Girl donuts, Bundt cakes, expensive wines and more.

Popular cake chain sells multiple bakeries to make a major move
Nearly every mother or grandmother has a secret recipe passed down for generations. This dish becomes everyone's favorite and is always the star at every family gathering, but it stays within family and friends most of the time. One popular cake chain began as a fun hobby for two Las Vegas moms with excellent baking skills and a dream of opening their own specialty cake shop. The two got together to fuse their secret recipes and made a chocolate Bundt cake with cream cheese frosting that was a big hit. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Their community became enamored with the pair's homemade Bundt cakes, and after realizing how lucrative their creations could be, they took a leap of faith and founded their cake shop in 1997. Related: McDonald's menu adds experimental new items fans will love Although it all began inside a home kitchen, this chain has become the largest specialty cake company nationwide, with nearly 700 locations in over 40 U.S. states and Canada. Image source: Bisping/Star Tribune via Getty Images Nothing Bundt Cakes has sold nine of its company-owned bakeries in San Diego, California, to the private equity firm FS Investors. Although this surprising business move might seem like a concerning development, it's actually the first step in a huge expansion plan and a milestone in the brand's long-term growth strategy. Neither Nothing Bundt Cakes nor FS Investors has disclosed any specifics of the deal. However, they made one shocking revelation that will make the San Diego community very happy. Related: Another fast-food burger chain is quietly closing locations As part of the sale of its bakeries, FS Investors also signed a development agreement to build 16 new bakeries throughout the San Diego area to accelerate the cake chain's expansion. Although 10 states have yet to taste Nothing Bundt Cakes' creations, this major development is another step toward making its cakes available in every state, as the company aims to more than double its units in the next few years. "Our focus at Nothing Bundt Cakes is to accelerate growth and build upon the record that we set of over 100 new bakeries in 2024," said Nothing Bundt Cakes CEO Dolf Berle. "Selling our San Diego company-owned bakeries to FS Investors gives them a platform from which they can build a significant number of new bakeries in this region."
