It had been years since I had cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes and I forgot how good it tasted. I got my wife a birthday cake from this Nothing Bundt Cakes location in Durham and it was phenomenal. Undoubtedly, five stars. Can bundt cakes get any better than this? I'm not sure they can. I ordered online and picked up in-store same day, a Tuesday. I placed my order around 1pm for a 6pm pickup. The entire process went smoothly. When I arrived to the store, I just gave them my name and they got my cake, all wrapped up and ready to go, out from the back. It had a wow factor to it. More on that below. First, the website. It was very easy to navigate, find, and order what I wanted. To me, it was similar to ordering flowers. When there are so many options, I appreciate it when a website makes it easy to narrow down your choices. I clicked on Nothing Bundt Cakes' Birthday Cakes and saw they had 20 options. I picked the design I liked the best based on the helpful pictures. It turned out to the "Delicious Wishes" cake. The Delicious Wishes cake came with a lot of decorations on top: a bright orange bow, a small gift box with gold ribbon, a candle, and three signs. Two of the signs said "Happy Birthday" and one said "Delicious Wishes." All atop a Nothing Bundt Cakes branded cardboard base. As far as the packaging and presentation went, everything was wrapped in tall, clear, plastic wrap that was tied at the top with a bow and included a simple birthday card (could be customized online or you could handwrite something yourself), a card with the cake flavor name, cake instructions, and a little story about the history of Nothing Bundt Cakes, and a foldout photo pamphlet with info about other cake flavors and offerings. I went with the Confetti flavor which is one of the company's nine classic flavors. The cake had rainbow colors on the inside. On the outside, I got Nothing Bundt Cake's signature "frosting petals." The frosting petals are thick "tubes" of cream cheese and butter frosting that run down the outside of the cake in a sort of "burst" or "overflowing" fashion. There's also a bunch of frosting in the center. Mmm... I love frosting and I know it's good when I can keep eating it and not get sick of it. Nothing Bundt Cakes' frosting is high-quality and delicious. By default, their cakes come with a lot of frosting, relatively speaking. I thought it was funny that the website gave me the option for extra frosting ($2.50) when the default amount already seems extra. The cake I got was 8 inches (serves 8) and cost $24.00. The "Delicious Wishes" birthday decorations were an additional $8.00. After tax, the total cost was $32.64. Nothing Bundt Cakes also offers bundt cakes in 10-inch ($34.00+, serves 18) and tiered (8-inch over a 10-inch, serves 26, $70.00) sizes, plus smaller, individual-sized "Bundlets" ($4.50 each) and Bundtinis (12 for $22). The latter two options look like cupcakes. As for the cake instructions mentioned above, Nothing Bundt Cakes says their cakes are best served at room temperature and should be kept refrigerated until a couple of hours before serving. When I ordered on the website, there was a serving time section where I had to specify if my cake was being served within three hours of my pickup time. The reason why is because if the cake was going to be served more than three hours after my pickup time, the store would keep it chilled. The serving temperature is an important detail because it makes a big difference in both the texture of the cake and the frosting. It's much more enjoyable at room temperature and not cold. So, if eating leftovers/chilled cake, you do have to plan out a bit and let the cake sit out for a couple hours. The cake I purchased had perfect taste and texture. I was really impressed. Nothing Bundt Cakes' Confetti flavor is birthday cake baked with rainbow sprinkles. I like how the sprinkles weren't overdone. It was just the right amount. Overall, I thought the Confetti cake upgraded with the Delicious Wishes decorations was really fun and ideal for my wife's birthday. She loved it and felt special and that's what mattered most. Service by the two young ladies at this location was excellent. Currently, there are three Nothing Bundt Cakes locations in the Triangle. There's this one in Durham, near the Chapel Hill border, as well as locations in Morrisville and North Raleigh. A cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes is great for birthdays and other special occasions. In addition to cakes, this store sells greeting cards and other gift items. The store is nicely decorated, like a cute little boutique shop. It's located in the Hope Valley Commons shopping center on 54 at Hope Valley Road. It opened in 2017. read more

We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine: Parking: 5 Location: 3 Decor/ambiance: 4 Customer Service: 5+ I tried a mini bundt cake a couple months ago and have been craving them ever since! Finally i was in the Durham area and had to make a pit stop. What a cool little cozy shop! Great parking out front and its FREE! I was greeted immediately when I walked in by this super smiling lady names Alissa (sorry if I misspelled her name). She was so helpful and kind. She asked if it was my first time and when i responded with a YES, she proceeded to tell me about the available flavors and she even gave me a suggestion on her favorite (red velvet). I ended up purchasing the red velvet (thanks Alissa) and snicker-doodle! The mini cakes were $4.50 and they are huge! They add and retract flavors every so often according to Alissa! These cakes are beyond moist! They are so soft and yummy. Ok, enough of this... back to my cake! read more

Moist, delicious and so many flavors! Whenever I bring a dozen baby Bundt's to a party or event, they go fast!

I've been eating these cakes without realizing it for years- some of my friends were aware of this gem before I was and would bring them to gatherings pretty regularly. I always found them delicious- not too fluffy, perfectly moist, awesome flavor selection, but it never occurred to me to visit until recently for my husband's birthday cake. My friends told me that you can go in and purchase cakes, but if you want to make sure you get the flavor of your choosing to order online in advance. The website was straightforward and easy to use, and I could even pay in advance! We ordered a chocolate chocolate chip cake in the size that feeds 8-10 people (so not the mini, but the next smallest size). I found the array of sizes to be very nice- the minis are just $3.99 and they go all the way up to cakes with many tiers. When the actual birthday came, I stopped into the shop at my specified time. The place was hopping, even though it was early in the morning! This place clearly has a great reputation and a devoted fan base. I saw people picking up pre-ordered tiered cakes, a bunch of minis in assorted flavors, and a couple from out of town stocking up on a huge assortment of everything! I got mine without issue and headed home. When we ate it later in the day we all agreed it was delicious and adorable. I have since joined their e-club so I can get a free mini on my birthday! I can't wait to go back and try each flavor. Oh, another great thing is that the instructions that come with the cake clearly state that you can keep refrigerated for up to five days- I can't wait to have another piece tonight! read more

I have a vendor that brings the mini's into our office a couple of times a year. Can I just tell you that he's one of my favorite vendors? I've never had a cake flavor I don't like but it's that icing that makes it. I think it's made out of angel giggles or kitten purrs...it makes me so happy that I got one for my birthday! read more

I have to leave a glowing review because I had such a TERRIBLE experience at the Morrisville location, it was so nice to have an easy experience at this location. No managers wanting to fight!?

Thank you! read more

Juliana contacted me regarding partnership opportunities for our companies. The following day, she brought a beautiful Red Velvet cake for our employees to sample, and an extra sweet surprise for me - a beautiful Bundtlet tower! I told her I would be out of the office on Friday for the birthday, and she went the extra mile to include adorable candles and a sweet note. I love the personal touch and I look forward to doing business with her and the staff at Nothing Bundt Cakes! read more

Everyone who knows me well knows I'm obsessed with this place!! The cakes are seriously the moistest cakes I've ever had!!! I am now familiar with nearly every flavor. I have ordered the bundlets and bundtinis. The bundlets are a great size for my husband and I to split while the bundtinis are great to bring to a party. My favorite flavor is the white chocolate raspberry although the new strawberries and creme flavor is a close second. read more

We came by for their grand opening on Saturday. The first fifty people in line would receive a card for one free bundlette each month for a year. So many people showed up, some arriving two plus hours before the doors opened. It was so cold they decided to give the card to the first one hundred people! Now that's generous. Turns out you can't begin to use the card until January 2018, but that's ok!! We really look forward to such a treat each month! We all got to try several samples of the cakes and they really are delicious!! So moist, creamy, and flavorful. This is a great cake anyway you cut it!! Lots of wonderful flavors to choose from, it was hard to pick just one!! The employees were super nice too. To our surprise, the store isn't just about cakes. They had some wonderful little gifts too that would be great for any occasion, so don't miss them when you come in. So nice to have this in the neighborhood. I know we'll be visiting it again and again! read more

This place has only been here for 3 weeks and it's definitely a hidden gem. I've had a sweet tooth for days and passed this place on the way home. As soon as I walked through the door I was greeted with warm welcomes. I was offered a sample of their lemon cake and it was mouth watering, bursting with flavor. I ended up ordering two single bundtlets, pumpkin spice and classic vanilla. SLAM-MIN! They were both very flavorful and not too much, if you know what I mean. I can't wait to come back and try other flavors. I'm glad I stopped by, welcome to the neighborhood:) read more

What can I say, Nothing Bundt Cakes, is awesome! No matter when I am in N. Carolina, Texas, or other states I have tried them, consistently delicious. I also appreciate that they don't over-price their products and provide coupons from time to time. read more

Love their cakes! The cakes are moist and the cream cheese frosting is perfect. I usually order the red velvet...it has chocolate chips! The kiddos order fun fetti and they love it! You can order online or go into the store. I am a busy mama so I order online. read more

I have no idea what was wrong with today but there was no customer service. I came in the store and NO ONE came to the counter to greet me or check me out for a several minutes. Later I saw a guys feet at the little swing door, so I thought he was coming out. He came out did what ever it was that he was doing and walked right back into the back. Still not a hey or how can I help you. I looked around to see if something was wrong with me. Then, I was about to leave because, I started to think I was invisible and that they didn't want my business. Then a girl came out and said what do you want? At this point, I was done. I told her the cupcakes that I wanted for the kids. I paid and I left. I promise I will not buy any products from you again. You all don't treat people well. read more

I love this place! I appreciate the monthly flavor they offer each month. The parking at this location is rather limiting, but everyone is very friendly upon entering the store. I tried the snickerdoodle bundlet which was amazing! Their frosting is the best! I can't wait to try all their flavors. They also have gluten free options, so a little something for everyone. read more

Nothing Bundt Cakes - Desserts Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Here's a deep, dark, secret confession: I don't like cakes (!!) Or at least, I have never really liked cakes all that much...the vast majority of them are dry, they have that overly sweet, crystallized icing that makes the inside of your mouth feel weird, and the leftovers always seem to sit in the fridge for years until you decide to throw them out (and then you're responsible for cleaning the hardened cake-gunk off the knife that you left in the cake box for cutting it...what a disaster). This is to say, that if I am giving a cake shop a 5 star review, you have to know that it is over-the-moon exceptional! I have never, in my entire life, had any kind of cake that was so moist, so flavorful, so delicious, that it made me actively want to go back out and get it again. When my husband brought me one of the red velvet cake bundtinis home, I went from skeptical to "holy crap where do I get more of this?" in two seconds flat. I stalked their website to see when their hours were; I kept the shop in my bookmarks folder until the day came that I could visit it myself! My only wish is that I could get the little bundtinis in smaller quantities, since you have to buy them in sets of 12 (for ~$20, if you factor in tax). So when I go now, I get the slightly larger bundtlet size, which is enough for me to split with my husband, or leave myself feeling super stuffed and regretful if I eat it myself. I also love to get variety, and since one bundtlet is already too large for one (imo), I have to limit myself to one flavor at a time =( My favorites? The original red velvet that changed my worldview on cakes forever, the pecan praline, and the white chocolate raspberry swirl. Do yourself a favor and get over there ASAP! *Bonus points in my book, while this is not a local chain per se (they're based originally out of Las Vegas), the two store locations here (Hope Valley and Morrisville) are franchised and thus, locally owned. Cheers! **I was so blown away by the quality of the cake that I totally forgot to mention that the employees were the ABSOLUTE nicest people ever, and went so far above and beyond to describe the business, the cake options, the flavors, their recommendations, etc. that when I left the store I felt like we had been friends for years. Whatever this business is doing to train/retain employees, they must be doing it right! read more

Nothing Bundt Cakes - The flavor that started it all (for me, at least). 15/10 - Desserts Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Excellent service: polite, helpful, warm and professional. I bought a three-tier bundlet tower for my husband's birthday: lemon, red velvet, chocolate. The flavors were all excellent. We will definitely be back. The 'dozen bundtinis' are begging to be picked up. They also have candles, etc. if you're stopping by in a rush and want to make sure you have everything to celebrate a birthday. read more

The cakes!!!!! What can I even say. The cakes are bursting with flavor. So moist. I purchased two small binders for my friend and my birthdays red velvet and chocolate chocolate chip. I'm not a fan of chocolate cakes and it was superb. This is a definite place you have to go and try read more

The best option for gluten free Bundt cakes! I do wish they offered more than one flavor in gluten free, but the flavor they do offer is so good, that I don't mind eating it repeatedly. Always a favorite for my non gluten free friends and family as well since they have such a variety of flavors. read more

This is gonna be one of the best new little dessert shops in Durham! I was in line on opening day for free bundt cakes for a year! The first 50 people in line were going to get that deal, but the owners were exceptionally kind and generous and extended that to the first 100 (it was cold outside by the way - in the 29-35 range)! They also had multiple different samples (and have at least 1 flavor sample at any point in time if you stop in) on opening day. Anyway, I'm from Texas and loved Nothing Bundt Cakes since then. I was thrilled that this location opened up since the Cary location is quite far from me. The bundtinis (small cupcake size) were excellent - I had the red velvet and confetti. The cakes are soft and the icing is amazing. I can't wait to have my free monthly bundlets (mini cake size) from them! The store also has some cute party decor, mugs, and all around cute stuff you can buy! As an aside, their bundt cakes also make excellent presents. I got one for a friend the day after opening day and they wrapped it up beautifully!! In conclusion: 10/10, highly recommend! read more

Once you've tried Nothing Bundt Cakes you'll never go back to cupcakes. Bundt cakes are fluffier, more moist and more flavorful than cupcakes and the cream cheese frosting is perfection. I fell in love with their bundtinis and bundlets when I lived in Dallas and I was so glad to see that Nothing Bundt Cakes has come to the Triangle. I recently ordered a dozen bundtinis for a friend's birthday and they were a big hit. Some of the favorite flavors included red velvet, lemon, strawberry and white chocolate raspberry. Since the bundtinis were so popular, I ordered a tiered bundt cake in the confetti flavor for a baby shower and everyone raved about how delicious it was. The service in the Durham location is exceptional, everyone I spoke with was very friendly and helpful and my orders were ready on time. read more

These cakes do not disappoint! They are so sinfully good; moist, fluffy, gooey, and delicious. My favorites are the lemon and whites chocolate raspberry... but honestly, I think they are all delicious. And yes, I've had them all. Sad but true, I'm a sucker for cake. I served these at my baby shower and also for my sons birthday. They are really effing good! Get your Bundt down and try it! There's always a healthy portion of samples so you can try before you buy. read more

Love me some NBC. I don't think there's a flavor I don't like and the mini bundlets are beyond adorable. I feel like I have to be uber careful not to move it around for fear of frosting loss but a sample and a bundlet just make my day. We did a bundlet for my daughter's first birthday party and it was perfect and carrot cake so kinda healthy, right?! These stores consistently produce moist and delicious bundts like no other. Bottom line, I'm a fan. read more

The Bundt cakes are okay. The same as the other Nothing Bundt Cakes -- but this store has very rude service and does not handle problems well. As a gluten-free person for years - Nothing Bundt Cakes was one of the only places I could frequent and feel confident that I would get a quality dessert - that was gluten free. So last year during the holidays My daughter and I ordered 2 gf bundtlettes with extra cream cheese icing (because the icing - OMG- Delicious!) - we were so excited! When we got home we were quickly shocked... our gluten-free chocolate chip bundtlettes were minty. Well - I didn't eat anymore - because I did not know if the cake was wrong - or the icing - but - something was and I was afraid I might have been given a glutinous cake by mistake (besides - I personally find mint flavored sweets disgusting!). We called the store but they had already closed for the evening -so we left a message. We hadn't heard anything back for a few days so we went by to talk to a manager - (and get some more cakes since we didn't eat the ones we got before) --- and the manager (possibly owner) was terribly rude. Acted as though there was no way we could've received anything with mint. Well I know mint when I taste it - and it was mint . Then this person - acted as though we were lying - and it never happened. I did bring up the fact that I had called - and that no one had bothered to call me back. Eventually they RELUCTANTLY rectified the situation by giving us a credit for two bundtlettes -- but never lost their nasty disbelieving attitude towards us, and ultimately the way they handled it was terrible. We used to eat there once a week and ever since that experience we never went back. Hopefully they have new owners/managers... or just try a different Nothing Bundt Cakes if you are in the mood. (this post was started 8 months ago - but I never hit send- so be sure to read other recent posts to get a feel for how they are now) read more

The Bundt cakes are soooooo delicious and so cute. Definitely the talk of any event! More importantly one of the main reasons that keeps us coming back to any business is their customer service. Takes quite an eye to rarely find excellent customer service and most times it goes under appreciated. Shout out to Carolina and her superb excellent customer skills. She is so friendly, so professional, and made us feel right at home. Oh, and she speaks Spanish too ;) read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I'm always greeted by a warm smile and cheery voice each time I visit this location. The employees provided wonderful service as they make suggestions and ask questions to ensure you're getting exactly what you want. This store is located in an easily accessible shopping center with ample parking. They offer a variety of bundt cakes in different flavors, sizes and arrangements. Each moth they have a flavor of the month and they also have samples in the store for you to try. The prices are very very reasonable for what you get. Out of all the bundt cakes I've had my favorites are White Chocolate Raspberry and Lemon. If you're looking for a delicious sweet test I highly suggest this place. They can also create a nice arrangement for special occasions (birthday, anniversary, holidays, etc) and they have candles, balloons, cards for purchase in the store too. read more

So I had NBC cakes a few months ago in clinic, and I gotta say: I wasn't impressed. I thought they tasted very 'store-bought-ish' and the frosting was waaaay too creamcheesey for me. However, the other evening we had some friends over who brought a varietal selection of NBC mini-cakes. I am converted. I must've gotten a bad batch before because it was night and day: the red velvet had just the right amount of tang from vinegar, the frosting was thicker than whipped buttercream but not so overpoweringly cream cheese that my eyes watered. I am not sure how prices stack up but I can say that this place is really really good. If only Mrs. V wasn't making us all go low-carb... read more
