The beverages? Perfectly chilled and just as refreshing. The hors d'oeuvres? No finer pigs have ever been blanketed. The main course? Delicious enough to throw your guests into reverential silence at first bite.
You’ve thrown one heck of a dinner party so far. Now to just serve the cake: some nondescript, unspecial thing you grabbed at the store.
Oh no. Your guests make it apparent they don’t like the cake. No one asks for seconds. And instead of staying afterward to watch a two-hour slide show of your recent trip to Bemidji, your guests excuse themselves and leave early. “We … uh … have to go home and … feed … our many, many pets,” they explain.
But you know they only have one pet. You also know the real reason why your party was ruined. You failed to serve your guests that most important thing: Nothing Bundt Cakes’ divinely moist yet oh-so-fluffy Bundt cake.
If only you’d called Eden Prairie’s locally owned specialty cake bakery at (952) 512-2500. If only you’d specified the number of tiered, 10-inch, 8-inch, “Bundtlet” or “Bundtini” cakes you would like. If only you’d selected from Nothing Bundt Cakes’ wide assortment of classic and inspired flavors – at least 11 at any given time, including Confetti, Carrot, White Chocolate Raspberry, Red Velvet, Oreo Cookies and Cream, and multiple gluten-free options.
Oh well. Live and learn! And then make this Halloween the holiday that corrects your cake trajectory for good.
“There’s no better time to give Nothing Bundt Cakes a try!” said Carly Simonian, manager of marketing for all five (soon to be seven) Twin Cities cakeries. “It’s when we feature my own personal favorite Bundt decorations: ‘Sweet and Spooky,’ which has a completely unscary ghost shooting up to say ‘BOO,’ and ‘Witch Way to the Cake?’ with an Oz-inspired pair of legs sticking out.”
I hit Carly with my most pressing cake question.
“Well, if you could have pumpkin-flavored cake all year round, then maybe it wouldn’t be special anymore! Fortunately, you still have plenty of time to enjoy ours. We offer Pumpkin September 8th through December 12th, spanning Halloween right through Thanksgiving (featuring ‘Give Thanks’ – a big turkey pilgrim). Then comes Christmas (featuring ‘Santa’s Slice of Joy,’ ‘Baking Spirits Bright,’ and our super fun ‘Holiday Gnomes Bundtinis’) to help you forget all about it!”
Not elves, I asked?
“Not elves!” Carly answered. “Though our all-kosher bakery does offer a beautiful indigo-on-white 'Happy Hanukkah' cake in case gnomes don’t quite fit your holiday season’s aesthetics.”
Take away all their dressings and Nothing Bundt Cakes cakes would still be exceptional: made with fresh ingredients, and baked fresh every day using recipes that meet national franchise founders Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz’s enormously high standards.
“We’re proud to be a woman-owned business at every level,” added Carly. “Kim Cassens, who is the only proprietor of multiple Nothing Bundt Cakes in Minnesota, is grateful to the communities that have made our Bloomington, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Prior Lake-Savage, and Minnetonka (soon to become St. Louis Park) bakeries so successful, and can’t wait to continue that streak with the grand openings of our North Loop and St. Anthony Village locations this fall!
“A big part of Nothing Bundt Cakes’ mission is giving directly back to those communities. Benilde-St. Margaret's, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Birthday Party Project, the Jordyn Clark Foundation, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and Ronald McDonald House are just a few of the nonprofits we’re blessed to support.”
