Nothing Bundt Cakes Menu 2026: Flavors, Prices & Calories
Nothing Bundt Cakes offers 5 cake sizes — Bundtini, Bundtlet, 8" Bundt, 10" Big Bundt, and Tiered Bundt — across 9 year-round flavors, 2 gluten-free options, and 7+ rotating seasonal and pop-up flavors. Prices start at ~$6.56 per Bundtlet and $35 for an 8" Bundt. The current fall lineup features Biscoff® Cookie Butter Cake (Aug 17 – Oct 11), the Galactic Brownie Pop-Up in its final days (ends Sept 6), and the upcoming Apple Pie Pop-Up (Sept 14 – Sept 27). Plus: free Confetti Bundtlets for the first 300 guests at every bakery on Sept 15.
Nothing Bundt Cakes has quietly become one of the most-visited specialty bakery chains in the US, earning America's #1 Favorite Food Brand title in Technomic's survey for two consecutive years. The brand also picked up the 2026 Pacesetter Award from Nation's Restaurant News and ranks as the 5th-fastest-growing brand on Yelp. Yet despite its popularity, finding a single resource that covers every size, flavor, calorie count, and price in one place is surprisingly difficult.
What Makes Nothing Bundt Cakes Different from Other Bakeries?
Nothing Bundt Cakes was founded in 1997 in Las Vegas by two home bakers, Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz. What started as cakes baked from their kitchens grew into the largest specialty cake company in America. Since 2024, the brand has been owned by KKR (previously Roark Capital). Every single store bakes fresh daily on-site — there's no central production warehouse shipping cakes across the country.
Four things set NBC apart from every other bakery chain:
Signature Cream Cheese Frosting Petals
Applied by hand in thick cascading petals from the top of every cake. No molds, no shortcuts, no other chain replicates this pattern.
Bundt-Only Specialization
Every product is a bundt cake. No cupcakes, no sheet cakes, no cookies. Depth over breadth is the entire business model.
Occasion-First Design
Gift-wrapping, ribbon, and sentiment cards are standard features, not paid add-ons. NBC positions itself explicitly as a gifting brand.
No Preservatives, 5 Days Fresh
Refrigerate up to 5 days; freeze up to 3 months. The short shelf life is a quality signal, not a liability.
Nothing Bundt Cakes Menu Sizes and Prices: Which Size Is Right for You?

What Is Nothing Bundt Cakes' 10 Million Bites of Joy?
Alongside the fall 2026 flavor lineup, Nothing Bundt Cakes launched a six-week community movement called 10 Million Bites of Joy, running Aug. 24 through Oct. 4, 2026. The campaign aims to distribute 10 million individual bites of cake through community partnerships, in-bakery giveaways, and Bundtastic Rewards member events.
National Bring the Joy Day — Free Bundtlet Sept 15, 2026
The headline event of the campaign is National Bring the Joy Day on Monday, September 15, 2026. Nothing Bundt Cakes will give away a FREE Confetti Bundtlet to the first 300 guests at each of their 841 US bakeries — that's over 250,000 free Bundtlets being distributed nationwide in a single day.
Step 1: Find your nearest NBC bakery on nothingbundtcakes.com.
Step 2: Arrive early — most bakeries open at 10:00 AM, and you must be one of the first 300 guests. Lines usually form 30–60 minutes before opening for events like this.
Step 3: Ask the staff for the free Confetti Bundtlet. No coupon, no code, no purchase required. Limit one per guest.
Bundtastic Rewards members get early access to the Galactic Brownie and Apple Pie Pop-Ups plus bonus point opportunities during the Aug 24 – Oct 4 window. Non-members can sign up for the free eClub before Sept 15 to be included in event notifications.
What Is the Most Popular Nothing Bundt Cake Flavor?
White Chocolate Raspberry is widely regarded as Nothing Bundt Cakes' most popular year-round flavor, consistently ranking as a top seller at NBC locations nationwide. Lemon and Carrot are runner-ups in independent taste tests, with Lemon appearing as the top-ranked flavor in multiple head-to-head reviews (Tasting Table, May 2026; Daily Meal, December 2025).
That said, popularity is genuinely subjective here. NBC employees and social media consistently point to White Chocolate Raspberry as the bestseller, but reviewers who've tasted all 12 Bundtlet flavors tend to elevate Lemon and Carrot for their layered, balanced flavor profiles.
White Chocolate Raspberry
Top seller nationally; fluffy texture + berry brightness.
Lemon
Top reviewer pick; punchy citrus, not overly sweet.
Carrot
Rich spice, nutmeg, pineapple — surprisingly complex.
Red Velvet
Crowd-pleaser for gifting; visual appeal + chocolate chips.
Chocolate Chocolate Chip
Safe choice; reliable chocolate depth.
Nothing Bundt Cakes Party Accessories & Extras
Beyond the cakes themselves, Nothing Bundt Cakes sells a range of party accessories that pair with any order. Prices vary slightly by location, but here are typical figures for 2026.
| Item | Description | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| Serving Pack for 8 | 8 forks, 8 plates, cake server, matches | ~$5.49 |
| Serving Pack for 18 | 18 forks, 18 plates, cake server, matches | ~$10.37 |
| Birthday Candles (pack) | Standard colorful birthday candles | ~$3.99 |
| Themed Toppers | Sports (basketball, soccer, baseball), Hoppy Spring bunnies, seasonal | ~$4.99 each |
| Bundtini Easter Egg Container (single) | Egg-shaped Bundtini holder | ~$2.99 |
| Bundtini Easter Egg Bundle (6) | 6 egg containers | ~$14.95 |
| Bundtini Easter Egg Bundle (12) | 12 egg containers | ~$35.88 |
| Gift Cards | Physical or e-gift cards, any denomination | $10+ |
| Milk (side item) | Individual milk carton | ~$1.49 |
Party accessory availability and pricing varies by bakery. Toppers rotate with seasons (Halloween witchy Bundts, Thanksgiving turkey toppers, Christmas holiday themes, etc). Serving packs are sold separately from cakes.
Why Is Nothing Bundt Cake So Expensive?
Nothing Bundt Cakes costs more than a grocery store cake because every cake is baked fresh daily in-store (no central production), uses real cream cheese frosting applied by hand in the signature petal pattern, contains no preservatives, and is packaged gift-ready as standard. You're paying for both the quality and the presentation.
Breaking it down further:
No frozen distribution center ships these cakes. Each of NBC's 600+ locations bakes every day from scratch. That labor cost is real.
The cream cheese and butter frosting petal pattern is applied manually — no machines, no molds. It takes time and skill.
HERSHEY'S chocolate, NILLA® wafers, Biscoff® cookie butter, OREO® cookies — NBC uses name-brand ingredients in its seasonal collaborations.
Gift-wrapping in cellophane, ribbon, and sentiment cards come standard. At most bakeries, that's an upcharge. At NBC, it's included.
A 5-day fridge life means you're not eating shelf-stable stabilizers.
Price History: How Much Have NBC Prices Risen Since 2020?
NBC prices have increased approximately 24% since 2020, roughly in line with broader food industry inflation.
| Year | Bundtlet | 8" Bundt | 10" Big Bundt |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | ~$5.29 | ~$27.99 | ~$37.99 |
| 2023 | ~$5.99 | ~$31.50 | ~$42.50 |
| 2026 | ~$6.56 | ~$35.00 | ~$47.50 |
What's So Special About Nothing Bundt Cake?
Here are 10 things most people don't know about Nothing Bundt Cakes, each one a genuine content gap that most bakery blog posts miss entirely:
- Founded in 1997 in Las Vegas by Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz, who started baking from their homes before turning it into a franchise chain.
- Every store bakes fresh daily on-site. There is no centralized production or frozen shipping — a fact that genuinely separates NBC from almost every other chain bakery.
- The frosting petal pattern is applied entirely by hand. No molds are used. The cascading cream cheese peaks you see on every cake are a manual craft skill each decorator learns.
- Bundtinis® and Bundtlets® are registered trademarks. The proprietary naming is part of the brand's IP strategy.
- eClub members receive a free Bundtlet on their birthday. No purchase required, just sign up via the app or website.
- Cakes peak at room temperature. NBC recommends removing refrigerated cakes 2–3 hours before serving. Cold cake is denser and less aromatic.
- National shipping exists but only for Bundtinis and Bundtlet Towers. Full-size cakes cannot be shipped nationally. They can only be ordered for local pickup or delivery.
- Nothing Bundt Cakes is America's largest specialty cake company. It has surpassed competitors in location count and revenue within its niche.
- KKR acquired NBC in 2024. The private equity firm took over from Roark Capital, signaling continued growth and potential expansion.
- Store hours are shorter than most restaurants. Most locations close by 7–8 PM on weekdays and 5 PM on Sundays — plan accordingly.

How Do Nothing Bundt Cakes Compare Nutritionally by Category?
All Nothing Bundt Cakes are calorie-dense desserts with high sugar content. Here's how the flavor categories compare per serving on average across all sizes.
| Category | Avg Calories/serving | Sugar Range | Protein Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chocolate flavors | 290–330 | 30–35g | 2–3g | Rich flavor lovers |
| Fruit flavors (Lemon, WCR, Berry) | 280–320 | 30–34g | 2–3g | Lighter finish |
| Classic (Vanilla, Confetti, Marble) | 280–320 | 22–36g | 1–3g | Crowd-pleasers |
| Carrot / Spice / Snickerdoodle | 280–330 | 24–38g | 2–3g | Warm dessert lovers |
| Gluten-free options | 260–410 | 25–42g | 2–3g | Dietary needs |

The lowest-calorie Bundtini is OREO® Cookies & Cream (190 cal). The highest-calorie Bundtlet is the GF Chocolate Chip Cookie (410 cal per serving, 2 servings per Bundtlet). For lower-sugar options, look to seasonal Pumpkin Spice (Bundtlet 260 cal, 27g sugar).
How Long Do Nothing Bundt Cakes Stay Fresh?
Nothing Bundt Cakes stay fresh for up to 5 days when refrigerated and up to 3 months when properly frozen. Because NBC uses no preservatives, storage temperature matters. Cakes left at room temperature for more than a few hours, especially above 75°F, will begin to soften and lose quality.
Storage Tips
Best served within 2–3 hours of being taken out of the fridge. Peak flavor and texture.
Wrap or store in an airtight container. Fresh up to 5 days.
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then foil. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
If the temperature outside is above 75°F, keep the cake refrigerated on the way home. The cream cheese frosting softens quickly.

First-Time Buyer's Checklist
Before you walk through the door (or check out online), run through this:
- Choose your occasion first — It determines the right size before you even pick a flavor.
- Stick to 1–2 flavors — Don't over-order variety on your first visit. Find your anchor flavor.
- Order 3–5 days ahead for decorated cakes — Walk-ins only get the plain frosting crown.
- Ask about frosting options — You can request regular, extra, or none.
- Check GF availability — Not every location stocks the GF Bundtlets daily. Call first.
- Refrigerate on the way home if outdoor temps are above 75°F.
- Take it out 2–3 hours before serving — Room temperature is when the cake peaks.

Can Nothing Bundt Cakes be shipped across the country?
