Nothing Bundt Cakes: How it all started
Dena Tripp and Debra Shwetz had always been friends but this dynamic duo
never expected their business venture would take off like it has over the
past ten years. These "mompreneurs" put their cake and frosting recipes
together and "volia" it was a match made in heaven. What started as humble
beginnings in their home kitchens has turned into a multi-million dollar
dream a decade later. Nothing Bundt Cakes is on the verge of becoming a
national craze as they expand their brand nationwide with the Nothing Bundt
Cakes franchise program. Currently there are 13 Nothing Bundt Cakes stores
located throughout the West Coast with another 5-10 locations opening
before the end of 2009. Nothing Bundt Cakes has locations in Los Gatos and
Dublin.
