Nothing Bundt Cakes

my fiancée works at the hospital near the Skokie location and would always bring me these cute little cakes home, and when I got a flyer in the mail saying they were opening another location in the city I was stoked!
My favorite is the new the peanut butter flavor, but also have had the cinnamon swirl, chocolate, raspberry white chocolate, and marbled cakes! still gotta try all the rest, I know they will be just as delicious!

Happy Friday! Try to avoid this moist lemon bundt! What a cute alternative to the cupcake craze. There’s something retro and fun to the idea to bundts. It brings me back to a time where my sister’s favorite dessert, pistachio green cake (made green by the packets of pistachio instant pudding), was a staple at family parties. That was in the 80s/​early 90s.
Today I find a much different version of the 1950s dessert craze. I was a little saddened to see the rich cream cheese frosting filling in the wonderful ridges I know bundts to have. I’m personally not an icing fan and it had way too much piped for my taste. It’s savory nature somewhat lessened the sweetness of the lemon cake, but even then, it was just too sweet for my taste. It was unbelievably moist and had intense lemon flavor though. Overall, it was a nice treat to have on a Friday accompanied by a cup of black coffee.

This is how cake is suppose to taste like… especially the red velvet.
Staff at this location is also extremely nice and helpful.

I saw that this place opened and passed by a few times but always thought, how good could a bundt cake be? Maybe it’s that I don’t have a sweet tooth to begin with, but I imagined bundt cakes to be basic and not very interesting. I got a coupon in the mail for a free bundtlet, so I figure I’d come in and try.
Just approaching the window, the place was very inviting. The shop was vibrant and well organized. My boo and I were quickly greeted and offered a free sample of their red velvet bundt cake. This is where I was sold. This was moist af! I didn’t find it overly sweet and their cream cheese frosting was perfection. The gentleman was very helpful in telling us about their menu and offerings. After that sample, we not only claimed our free bundtlet, but purchased another (lemon and red velvet). The lemon was just as good as the red velvet. Their bundtlets are like a personal sized cake, about $ 4.50 each. I would say that they are about 1.5x bigger than a standard cupcake size. They gave us a bogo coupon after our first experience, so I definitely will be back even though this place is dangerous for my figure.
They even have an assortment of children and kitchen items and gifts in the store which is a nice touch.
I definitely will consider Nothing Bundt Cakes for a personalized cake for a future party or when I want to indulge, especially since service was delightful.

I’ll go with 4 stars. The shop is SUPER cute, the staff is very friendly, and they immediately offer you a sample– all very nice. Also this is in a shopping center with a parking lot so you don’t have to circle for an hour looking for a spot.
I think these are a nice alternative to fancy cupcakes– the size/​price are comparable on the small bundts. However– while very moist (yay!), I personally found these just too sweet. I tried 4 flavors– all good but I couldn’t eat more than a bite or two at a time (and I have a sweet tooth). Super super sweet. I had also taken some as a treat for my aunt and she said the same– tasty but «just too sweet to really enjoy.»
Also– and I feel bad saying this but the flavors tasted a little on the fake side to me.
Definitely worth a try if you are in the area and a very cute option if you need to bring a sweet treat somewhere, but I feel like these rate a little higher on «cute» than on flavor, personally.

I was greeted by a friendly staff and offered me a sample. It was my first time there and the staff took the time to explain the menu. The cakes were delicious and I will return to try other selections.

Always have a pleasant experience when I come to any of the nothing bundt cakes bakeries. Doesn’t matter whatever city I am in I search for this place and it’s brings a huge smile to my face when I see them on the maps. My favorite is the Lemon and my family love their little bundt cakes. The service is nice as well and if you’re going to become a regular make sure you ask about the card puncher, on your 12 purchase you get a free cake, also don’t forget to sign up for emails so you can get a freebie on your bday. :-)

Bundt cakes were made famous in the movie, «My Big Fat Greek Wedding.» Ian’s parents brought a bundt cake to the Portakalos family gathering and it is presented to Maria, the mother, confused she says Bundt Cake! It’s a cake! It has a hole in it? Up until now you barely saw a bundt cake, with the hole in the center, at the bakery. With the opening of Nothing Bundt Cakes in Chicago all that will change, Lincoln Park is the first location in the city, with more to come. The shop is located in a strip mall on Clybourn with plenty of parking. When you enter the shop you are transported away from Clybourn Avenue to something out of Willy Wonka, displays of cakes and accessories all dot the shop, sweet smells, balloons, flags and banners, all in bright colors. Over in one corner is a little cart with sample bites to taste. I was cheerfully greeted by the staff, who was very accommodating, they asked if I would like a sample of their cake, usually there is only one flavor that is sampled at a time.
The bundt cakes are beautiful and taste great, very moist, light cakes, with a butter cream cheese frosting, a work of art. All that you need to do is choose the cake and size, they can even have tiered cakes for larger groups that can serve up to 30. Nothing Bundt Cake does it all: bite sized Bundtinis which are sold by the dozen, individual Bundt Cakes, 8″ and 10″ Cakes, along with the Tiered Cakes. There are many cakes to choose from: chocolate, lemon, cinnamon, swirl, pralines, even a gluten free cake. My favorite cakes are: white chocolate raspberry, red velvet (it even has tiny little chocolate chips mixed in), and chocolate turtle, which happens to be the flavor of the month, all are out of this world and melt in your mouth delicious!
In addition, the staff will be happy to assist you in choosing little cardboard flags or banners, candles, and sparklers to add a little individuality the bundt cake. Nothing Bundt Cake has everything you could use to accessorize the delicious treat from, stained glass or ceramic cake plates, to a baby’s first fork and spoon for their birthday bundt! Interested in adding on to the bundt, pick up a cook book, apron and utensils. Make sure to look at the greeting cards before you leave, they are very cute. There is just so much to see in the shop, each time there is something new and interesting. Nothing Bundt Cake has been able to fill the hole in the middle,
the only thing I would wish would be if customers could buy 6 Bundtinis at a time, for smaller groups. I am giving Nothing Bundt Cakes 5 stars because of the delicious, moist flavors of the bundt cakes and their aesthetic appearance.

So, I was so excited that Nothing Bundt Cake came to Chicago. I first had the awesome Bundt cakes last year when my cousin brought some to a family dinner. I was hooked since then and told everyone that would listen how great they were and I love dessert so I know. I raved so much that a friend of mine got me a gift card for Christmas. I was so excited except all the locations I was aware of were so far away. I thought I would be going south this weekend and wanted to use my wonderful gift card so I looked up the locations online and to my surprise one had just opened in Lincoln Park and I couldn’t wait to get there except they were already closed. No worries, I’m off on Monday so I will try again! And that is what I did. I entered the well decorated store and was greeted by two friendly people. I’m walked through the menu, made my selection, whipped out my gift card and was ready to go… until the cashier had problems with my gift card. I wait patiently and then she enters a back room and speaks to someone without a uniform, perhaps a manager or the owner. After a few minutes, she comes back and says she can’t accept my gift card, they aren’t set up to accept gift cards yet because they just opened. WHAT? That was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. How can you set up a new franchise and accept gift cards. especially because of the time of year we are in, Christmas recently passing, Valentine’s Day coming up… I was so upset and continued to express how this was terrifble customer service. The cashier apologized then continued to ask me for payment. The person in the back never even came out to Ali, ogize. I was so upset! Great customer service would have said… sorry for your inconvenience, this one is on us or sorry that our system isn’t up yet, have a mini cake on us or a dollar off next time you come, or something, because afterall you do want me to come back don’t you? Or you just assume I will come back because you are that great? But I got nothing but an I’m sorry. Well, guess what, I won’t be coming back!!! I will travel out to the suburbs where apparently they can handle gift cards. Ruined my entire night.

We were so happy to hear Nothing Bundt Cake was coming to the neighborhood. We first had it last year for my brothers wedding. Anyways we stopped in this afternoon to pick up a bundt cake to eat tonight. We were greeted by the friendly staff and offered samples of the white chocolate raspberry and chocolate turtle, both were good and so moist! We both decided to bring the pecan praline home. We made such a great choice! The cake was so moist, light and had a wonderful taste. It was complimented so well with the cream cheese frosting and pecan crumble. It reminded us of a pecan cinnamon roll. So so good! We will definitely be back!
