Anyone have one of these?

http://www.nothingbundtcakes.com/

They are taking over the space where Frost donuts once was. I never thought
that Frost would make it but apparently they are wildly popular and
presumably have moved to a nearby, larger space. They now have a dessert
bar and have expanded to sell more than just donuts.

But this place? Just Bundt cakes. Seriously! How hard is it to make a
Bundt cake? These are not even filled and it doesn't look to me like they
have an innovative flavors although they do have various special flavors.
The icing and decorations don't blow me away either. Same oddly pooped out
frosting on them all, in thick white lines. And it looks like the
decorations aren't edible. Looks like silk flowers and little paper signs,
hats, etc.

Not sure that you can just walk in and get a cake either. Perhaps you can
get an undecorated cake that way. I am unclear in reading how to buy. But
it looks like if you want a decorated one, you have to order ahead of time.
Weird because most bakeries, even in the grocery stores will have some
generic, decorated cakes.

I can't see this making it either but they have a lot of locations!

<shrug> People don't cook anymore and they certainly don't decorate
cakes. Personally, what I saw on that website looked awful and I'd
never be interested - but I know how to cook.

I love Bundt cakes. ASAOF, we have a small piece of one sitting in the
the fridge. It is what is leftover from the one my wife made for her
church thing last weekend. It is a 7UP cake. We first discovered them
back int he 1970s when someone gave us a recipe for a Sherry Cake. They
have a nice dense texture that I like and the keep well. They are sweet
and dense so a little goes a long way. The leads to the reason we seldom
make them. They last too long. Forget about fancy icing. They don't
need it. The 7yp cake gets just a little lemon glaze and the sherry
cake gets a dusting of icing sugar.

I don't see cake in my future. Hubby is finally getting serious about
controlling his blood sugar - started pricking his finger a few days
ago. So far, a pastrami sandwich put him in the higher numbers but
everything else has been okay. He was 99 after a walk and 123 first
thing this morning. His goal is to not to take pills. If that's what
it takes, then that's what it takes (after a lifetime of bad eating
habits that were reinforced by no significant weight gain).

Tell him not to mix fatty meats and carbs. The fat keeps the carbs in
your blood longer. That's why pizza is such a no-no for diabetics. Eat
the pastrami with a knife and fork and forgo the bread.

Thank you! I had already told him that he should try using lettuce as
a bread substitute. He says the ham and pastrami he buys is only
around .5-1 gram of saturated fat per serving. That little keeps
carbs in the blood longer? Wow! Thanks for the explanation.

I used to do a ton of baking. Diabetes really quashed that. I totally quit
baking for a time. I do bake once in a while now. I plan to make a Marion
berry cobbler soon just to use up the rest of my whole wheat pastry flour.

Doesn't that require a good soaking in Cognac?

My mother-in-law makes that 7up cake. It is just as nice as you say,
dense and moist.

Nordic Ware invented teh Bundt pan, only the original Bundt pan made
by Nordic Ware is of the classic configuration, all others are
imitations. I have several pieces of Nordic Ware, no one else
produces such well made bakeware.
This is the original:

Ours was made by Northland, so I guess it is not the original. It has
made a lot of good cakes over the years.

They call that the original, but it isn't. They currently make them of
cast aluminum with a nonstick interior. The original was solid cast
aluminum WITHOUT a nonstick coating. I've got one.

Unfortunately, Nordicware has gotten into nonstick coating in a big
way. Most of their products now include it, which is a shame. A cast
aluminum pan lasts a lifetime, but nonstick coating does not.

That's what I thought too.

The next fad, since cupcakes are passé. These will fall by the wayside, too. I would certainly
never invest in such a business.

Pretty sure those have passed. Bagels were big in the 80's. Donuts were
big around the same time as cupcakes. How about an English Muffin store?

How about a store featuring things made with alternative flours - like
coconut, almond, pecan, and some others?

ATK recently did English Muffin bread, so it may be trending now.

I love that stuff! The recipe on the package of yeast is perfect.
I'd have to dig it out to tell you which brand it is, but I think it
was Fleischmann's.

It does seem to be a very limited product line, but millions of people
never bake anything. It would have to be something really special to get
me in therr though.

That's the thing. They don't look special to me at all. And you can get
Bundt cakes at any grocery store.
