Nothing Bundt Cakes are so special you will always remember when you had your first one. When you take that first bite and taste the moist, fudgy cake with its delectable signature cream cheese frosting, you know you’re hooked. Holly Waud tried her first cake in California and knew she had to bring this incredible franchise to Oregon. These aren’t like any Bundt cake you’ve had before! Nothing Bundt Cakes features the tastiest cake flavors generously adorned with rich and creamy frosting and are perfect for any occasion, or even just because.

The Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise was founded in 1997 by Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz in their home kitchens and has since grown into a brand that values high-quality ingredients, hand-crafted recipes, and the warmth of genuine hospitality. Holly Waud opened Nothing Bundt Cakes in Happy Valley almost ten years ago and owns that bakery, in addition to the Tualatin location (with a partner). As a franchise owner, she’s called a “Bundt Boss.” “What I like best about the cakes is their consistent quality,” says Holly. “It’s great to offer a good product that people can count on.”

Cakes come in over ten delicious flavors, including monthly featured flavors like lemon raspberry and an always-available gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. “My most popular is white chocolate raspberry, followed closely by chocolate, chocolate chocolate chip, red velvet, and lemon. Chocolate chocolate chip is the original flavor,” Holly shares. “And we’re in pumpkin spice season, which people go crazy for.” Each cake is amply frosted with rich and gooey signature cream cheese frosting you’ll want to eat by the spoonful. Sizing options are designed to help you customize your order to fit any occasion or gift. “Eight-inch and ten-inch cakes are available individually or as a two-tier. Personal Bundtinis are sold by the dozen, and Bundlets are sold individually and serve one to two people,” explains Holly.

Adding some themed aesthetic to your cakes is a must and Nothing Bundt Cakes will adorn them with fun and colorful decorations for any occasion, including holidays, birthdays, retirement parties, weddings, baby showers, corporate gifts, sporting events, and more. And these aren’t your typical cake decorations. “Because it’s a Bundt cake with a hole in the middle, we build the decorations on the cake. We use colorful flags and big bows.,” Holly says. They also have in-store candles, cards, and gift items, making it a one-stop shop. “If you were in a pinch to provide a gift to someone, you could just stop by, and we could either decorate a cake for you or make a three-Bundtini tower, hit you with a greeting card, and you’re on your way,” says Holly. Customers can order in person, via phone, online, or through third-party delivery apps like Doordash and Ubereats. Unless it’s a major holiday, most items can be ready in as little as one hour. This is the ultimate convenience for a last-minute party or gift!

In true Bundt Boss fashion, Holly perpetuates a warm and friendly environment where people want to be. She has many long-term employees and regulars she’s known since opening. “It’s honestly just so nice to be part of the community, make connections, get to know people,” Holly says. Giving back to the community is also a priority. “We do a lot of donations and fundraising with schools and other local organizations. If interested, they should contact us at clackamas@nothingbundtcakes.com. My GM Ruby and manager Jill will be happy to work with anyone.”

Whether you need a ten-inch cake for a family birthday or a dozen Bundintis to bring to your work party, the perfect combination of fresh, melt-in-your-mouth cake frosted with decadent cream cheese frosting of Nothing Bundt Cakes will brighten the day. “Anytime I’ve shared this cake with anyone, they’ve been happy to receive it. And it’s not a gift that gets dusty. If you’ve gifted someone this cake, they will eat it,” says Holly with a laugh.
