There are plenty of places to pick up desserts in the Webster area, but one bakery that stands out from the pack is Nothing Bundt Cakes. As you might be able to infer from the name, this place specializes in bundt cakes, those distinctive ring-shaped treats that originate from northern Europe. In 1997, two long-time friends from Webster came together with the desire to start their own business. They realized that they had a real talent for baking and perfected a unique bundt cake recipe using the best available ingredients.

Some of the favorite offerings at Nothing Bundt Cakes include the lemon, which is refreshing and invigorating, as well as the comforting pumpkin spice. They’re famous for the rich frosted cream cheese petals that top every cake. You can get their cakes in a variety of sizes, from family-size desserts to cute little individual portions, and prices are very reasonable.
