"At Nothing Bundt Cakes, bringing joy is at the heart of everything we do," Nothing Bundt Cakes Chief Marketing Officer Angie Eckelkamp said. "Our bakery-wide 25th birthday Confetti Bundtlet giveaway and $25,000 party contest is our way of thanking our guests for letting us be a part of their joyous moments over the years."


The Confetti Bundtlet is the bakery's individually packaged miniature bundt cake.

Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz founded Nothing Bundt Cakes was founded in Las Vegas in 1997 as a small baking business from their kitchens. Since then, demand for their moist, delicious Bundt Cakes, crowned with cream cheese frosting, grew to the point where they opened a bakery, and then another, and eventually began franchising their unique concept.

The bakery now has nearly 450 locations in the U.S. and Canada, offering four cake sizes in nine flavors, including fan favorites Red Velvet, Chocolate Chip, Lemon, Strawberries and Cream and Confetti.
