I've Got Mail: Bundt Cake

This one didn't exactly arrive via the USPS, but it was a sweet way to kick off the Memorial Day Weekend.

The talented folks over at Nothing Bundt Cakes sent over a sampling of their circular treats last week, and they were a hit with our cake-loving crew. The red velvet Bundt cake was not only beautiful, with its fluffy red ribbon filling the "hole" and luscious white streaks of cream cheese frosting, but it was tasty and moist. The deep-red buttermilk batter was speckled with just a dash of chocolate chips, giving the cake a little extra texture.

Hungry yet? The bakeries are part of a Las Vegas-based franchise – one of the closest here is in Thousand Oaks. The good news is that you can order them online, and they can be "themed" for birthdays, Father's Day or any other occasion. Then pick a flavor, such as Pecan Praline or White Chocolate Raspberry, and get your fork ready. You can choose from a variety of sizes and combos, but the 10-inch decorated cake is $39.50 and serves about 18 happy people.
