I wanted to bring in something to my work place that was gonna be more impressive than bagels or just regular donuts in that pink box. I'd heard of Nothing Bundt Cakes, but used to think of it as a Mom and Pop kinda of operation, but I find out on the website that they're nation wide and have 1000's of stores! I find they have one near me down here in SoCal, so off I go.
Easy enough to find and there's no line! I see a whole case of bundt cakes from big to small. I think small so we get to try a few flavors. They all have this weird frosting design on top, like some kinda spider reaching down ... well, at least that's what it looked like to me. I got the smaller sized ones for around $5.00 ea, in Lemon, Strawberry and white chocolate raspberry.
I get them back to my work place and first prob is how to get these cakes out of the tightly sealed plastic cases they come in without wrecking the cake! I get the tops open but then what? turn it upside down and then the frosting design will get messed up if it put it on a plat like that. I gotta use a knife and pry it up off the bottom, not easy! and then carefully get it to a plate with out messing up the cake ... sort of messed up a few, but thought that counts, right?
The taste was OK, not spectacular gourmet delicacy, but mostly for me waaay too sweet, especially the frosting ... I got me a good sugar rush ... no kidding! Gimme come coffee to go with the rush! Others seem to be impressed and happy I just didn't bring donuts. I dunno, $5.00 bucks each when you think about it, is a little steep for what you get, but I suppose someone's gotta make a profit. $50 bucks of good will I guess, goes a long ways in my business.
