This Christmas Give Them NOTHING Bundt Cakes!!
By K.P. Lynne
Bundt Cake Bob knows Santa!&nbsp;
He really does!&nbsp;
Bundt Cake Bob, the Southland's most popular Bundt cake baker, was spotted in the back&nbsp;corner&nbsp;at Burger 21 in Orland Park,&nbsp;discussing top secret Christmas&nbsp;cake designs with the man in the red suit!&nbsp;
These two guys really thought we wouldn't notice the reindeer and sled parked out in back! We made some calls to Ed, the amazing owner, and popular gourmet burger chef,&nbsp;over at Burger 21, and he&nbsp;spilled the beans about Santa's secret meeting with Bundt Cake Bob!&nbsp;
During the month of December...Bundt Cake Bob becomes Santa's special helper...officially dubbed Santa Bob...by Santa Claus himself.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Santa Bob's job is to make sure everyone gets exactly what they want for Christmas...especially when it comes to sweet treats!
Looking for the perfect gift?&nbsp;
EVERYBODY loves cake!
Santa himself officially approved the use of his personal hat for a cool new cake design called "Santa's Slice of Joy". This darling and delightful cake, comes in every flavor, including the holiday favorite, peppermint chocolate chip, with real candy canes baked inside! The little stocking is perfect for stuffing some spending money too!! Makes a perfect gift for kids, teens and adults aka kids-at-heart!
Rumor has it...Santa's really good friend Frosty...chimed in on the business meeting and personally gave Santa Bob permission to place&nbsp;his adorable likeness upon a delectable and delicious bundt cake! What could be cuter or sweeter than Frosty on a cake! The iconic snowman spreads kindness and love to everyone he meets!&nbsp;
Finally...Mrs. Claus sneaked into the meeting of the minds...with a gorgeous basket of her best poinsettias! She told Santa Bob to use as many as he needs to make the season merry and bright! The Merry and Bright cake features a glorious and gorgeous, perfectly placed poinsettia...which can be carefully removed and reused as holiday decor!&nbsp;
These 3 Holiday themed&nbsp;cakes are available in 8-inch and 10-inch sizes as well as an 8-inch stacked on top of a 10-inch for office, school and home celebrations...or one REALLY hungry elf!! 
And if you happen to need a sled-load of gifts or a Santa sack of treats...Santa Bob also has you covered!&nbsp;
You can get assorted Bundtinis, sold exclusively by the dozen, in fully sealed classroom approved boxes! These bite size Bundts are similar in size to a two-bite cupcake...and are&nbsp;perfect for feeding all the little munchkins at schools, daycares, places of worship&nbsp;and youth groups!&nbsp;
Adults love Bundtinis too and they make great treats for office parties!
If you need a sled load of sweet gifts for teachers, co-workers, donations for nursing homes, veterans or first responders...Bundtlet Bundles are the way to go! See any associate for a specially priced cardboard carrying case stuffed with a dozen personal sized Bundt cakes - each in their own little clam shell container.&nbsp;
Bundtlet Towers are also available featuring 1, 2 or 3 Bundtlets stacked in a sparkling cellophane wrapper and adorned with the flower, bow or ribbon of your choice!
When it comes to giving nothing Bundt sweetness...Bundt Cake Bob...um...Santa Bob has everything you need!&nbsp;
And be sure to check out his on-site artisan gift shop featuring all sorts of Santa and Mrs. Claus&nbsp;approved glass platters, aprons, finger towels, nick-knacks, coffee mugs and other specially curated artisan gifts! And don't forget Nothing Bundt Cakes Gift Cards make great stocking stuffers too!
