Nothing Bundt Cakes featuring different flavors
Sure, you can bake a good Bundt cake, but sometimes you have too much on your plate, and none of it is the Bundt cake you're craving. Nothing Bundt Cakes is clutch in these situations. The brand, which sells Bundt cakes in various sizes and flavors, launched in 1997 and has grown to more than 500 bakeries across the U.S. and Canada.
The name is a bit of a misnomer—the bakery does in fact do more than bake cakes. The cakes can come decorated for any occasion—birthday, graduation caps and Easter bunny ears? All options. Ditto for pastel-colored flowers for spring if you prefer a different seasonal option. For Mother's Day, there's a lovely purple flower bouquet topper option.
The brand bakes cakes in various sizes—Bunditinis (similar to cupcakes), personal-sized Bundtlets and 8- to 10-inch cakes that can feed more than two dozen. And they offer even more options when it comes to flavors. The menu features 10 core flavors and rotates seasonal flavors in and out. Recently, the company whipped up a limited-edition Lemon Blueberry cake for the spring. The classic bright spring bake was topped with icing and packed with natural lemon flavor and is studded with blueberries.
With all of these options, it can be hard to decide which Nothing Bundt Cakes flavor you should choose. To help you out, we scoured the Internet and consulted our tastebuds to bring this unscientific but highly necessary list of Nothing Bundt Cakes flavors, ranked.

15 Nothing Bundt Cakes Flavors, Ranked
15. Classic Vanilla
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Offered: Year-round
Vanilla is a quintessential cake flavor, albeit one that can disappoint the rather vocal contingency of chocolate fans out there. Nothing Bundt Cakes' vanilla cake is creamy and hits all the classic notes, allowing it to be a blank canvas for a dessert plate loaded with other sweets. Where this Classic vanilla Nothing Bundt Cake flavor falls short is really in the creativity. Vanilla is as groundbreaking as flowers for spring. You can get the flavor anywhere, anytime, and it's possible to make a case to skip out on paying a premium price for one.
14. Key Lime

Offered: Summer
Nothing Bundt Cakes added this flavor to its summer lineup in 2022 to mixed reviews. "I got this flavor yesterday, and it was everything I wanted it to be," wrote a Facebook commenter. "[It] may be one of my favorite flavors yet, and [I] hope it sticks around."
However, another wrote, "If you are expecting a true traditional key lime flavor, this is not it." Someone agreed it was the first Nothing Bundt Cake flavor that they didn't like because of the aftertaste. Nothing Bundt Cakes plans to bring the Key Lime flavor back later this in 2024, so you can decide if this riff on the classic dessert is a hit or a miss for you.

Offered: Winter
Made with real chocolate chips and peppermint pieces, this festive Nothing Bundt Cake flavor tastes like a candy cane or...toothpaste? It depends on who you ask. While some fans say that this cake puts them in the holiday spirit, the comments sections of social media posts announcing the return of Peppermint Chocolate Chip are often full of people saying the brand is on their naughty list for not bringing back Gingerbread instead.
12. Blueberry Bliss

Offered: Summer
The flavor is "Blueberry Bliss," but Nothing Bundt Cake fans have differing opinions on whether this flavor lives up to the name. While some call the blueberry-swirled white cake "yummy" and "one of their favorites," others have called on the brand to mix the berry-flavoring with lemon instead. It appears from the website that Nothing Bundt Cakes will bring Blueberry Bliss back in 2024 as is, so you'll have an opportunity to weigh in.
11. Strawberries and Cream
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Offered: Year-round
This fruity flavor was added to the year-round Nothing Bundt Cake menu in 2014. There's a surprise inside: There's some white chocolate mixed in with the bright berries, creating the strawberries-and-cream vibe. For those who don't like the berry or view it as a seasonal fruit, this Nothing Bundt Cake flavor may hit differently when the weather is too cold to talk about. That said, if you're a year-round berry fan, you might want to give this one a try.

10. Carrot
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Offered: Year-round
Carrot cakes can be controversial, regardless of their form. I mean, who eats cake to taste carrots? Nothing Bundt Cakes' carrot confections also have a polarizing following. The timeless cake has carrot and pineapple pieces throughout. The traditional cinnamon and nutmeg flavor (and fragrance) is designed to warm the body and soul on a cold day, whether that be a rainy day in April or a chilly December afternoon. Some say this option is their favorite Nothing Bundt Cake flavor. Others prefer to pass, including a carrot defender who noted, "The only flavor I didn't like even though I am a carrot lover...this was too sweet — sorry," the person wrote.
9. Confetti
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Offered: Year-round
Nothing screams "celebration" than a confetti-dotted Bundt cake. Reddit fans have raved that this multi-colored Nothing Bundt Cake flavor indulges their "child-like palate," while another called it the "best and most subtle cake they have." The aesthetic is charming and fits any occasion, from birthday bashes (particularly on too-adorable bundtinis) to New Year's Eve soirees. Yet, the flavor is similar to Classic Vanilla and suffers from the same issue—it's so common, albeit cuter. The lack of wow factor takes Confetti down a peg, but it's still worth celebrating.
8. Lemon
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Offered: Year-round
Lemon may get a "boring" peg similar to vanilla, but this sweet-meets-sour Nothing Bundt Cakes flavor is popular among Reddit fans. One noted it was "basically" the only flavor they got. The citrusy flavor juxtaposed with the rich Bundt cake and the tangy cream cheese icing on top makes this treat one for all seasons.
7. Lemon Raspberry
View the original article to see embedded media.
Offered: Summer
This seasonal flavor hits Nothing Bundt Cakes' menus each summer, and it's arguably the brand's most refreshing option. The zesty lemon combines with sweet-tangy raspberries to create a flavor that proves a Bundt cake's density doesn't limit it to cold-weather affairs. It's moist, sweet and, as a Yelp reviewer said, "very mouth-watering indeed." One of the reviewers' biggest gripes on Yelp and Instagram is that Nothing Bundt Cakes doesn't offer the lemon raspberry year-round.
6. Chocolate Chip Cookie Gluten-Free
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Offered: Year-round
People love themselves some Nothing Bundt Cakes. The biggest wish some make? More gluten-free options, at least if comments on pretty much every one of the brand's social media posts are to be believed. Right now, only the Chocolate Chip Cookie flavor fits the gluten-free bill. This flavor is made with real-deal mini chocolate chips and has a rich flavor and decent texture, making it a worthy option whether you're on a gluten-free diet or not.

5. Pumpkin Spice
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Offered: Fall
Are you really a food brand if you don't have a Pumpkin Spice something these days? Not really. However, having something pumpkin-flavored and having something good that's pumpkin-flavored are two different things. Fans say that Nothing Bundt Cakes' Pumpkin Spice option is "delicious," with even pumpkin-hesitant types enjoying it. "I didn't even think I liked pumpkin spice, but I guess I do now, " one Redditor wrote of the timeless blend of spices, highlighted by so-fall cinnamon and nutmeg. The tangy cream cheese frosting was basically designed for this flavor.
4. Raspberry White Chocolate
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Offered: Year-round
Lemon Raspberry is a seasonal offering, but Raspberry White Chocolate is blissfully on Nothing Bundt Cakes' menus all the time. The fluffy, white chocolate cake has zesty raspberry swirls and the creamy decadence of white chocolate balances out fruity puree. All told it creates a rollercoaster for tastebuds that's all peaks and no valleys. Even people who steer clear of white chocolate find this Nothing Bundt Cake flavor irresistible.
3. Snickerdoodle
Offered: Year-round
Nothing. Bundt Cakes
Another option that'll keep cookie and cake lovers satisfied, Snickerdoodle's perfect blend of cinnamon and sugar hits all the right notes. In addition to the cream cheese frosting, the cookie-cake combo comes topped with a thin layer of sugar that makes it extra tasty, and extra fun. The flavor is familiar, but using a classic cookie as the inspiration for a cute Bundt cake is charming—and delicious.
2. Chocolate Chocolate Chip
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Offered: Year-round
This moist Bundt Cake is a chocolate lover's dream. The chocolate base is rich and smooth, while chocolate chips add crunch and (almost) more flavor than tastebuds can handle. The tang of the cream cheese frosting keeps it from being too cocoa-forward (if that's possible). However, consider this pro-tip from a Redditor: It may sound like heresy, but one fan recommends trying it without the frosting. "It's so good warm and unfrosted," the person wrote (at least try it warm for a fresh-baked-cookie vibe).
1. Red Velvet
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Offered: Year-round
The Red Velvet cake's decadence warms the tastebuds like a luxurious blanket. The chocolate cake batter has hints of vanilla, and the scarlet-red hue will stand out even among the most delicious offerings on a dessert table. The chocolate chips inside prove there's nothing "half-baked" about Nothing Bundt Cakes' riff on the classic Southern treat. Take it from one Redditor who declared their favorite Nothing Bundt Cakes flavor: "Red velvet, and it has chocolate chips inside—OMG."
