Cake Marks Rite of Passage for Nothing Bundt Cakes Owner

Karen Vazquez recalls wanting to join in the “adult conversation” that always happened in the kitchen. Her mom and grandmother loved to cook and required the littlest in the family to prove they could safely handle being around hot items in order to take part in the fun. Vazquez, owner of the new Nothing Bundt Cakes in Naples, nervously made a Bundt Cake to prove her merit and was thrilled to get a “graduation hug” from her proud grandmother. Now, nearly 30 years later, Vazquez is beyond excited to open a Nothing Bundt Cakes bakery in her beloved community of Naples. “This cake says a thousand words in one bite, from love and caring to family and a sense of belonging,” shares Vazquez. “Through our amazing cakes, I am excited to share these wonderful feelings with my Naples community, which is all about family and the love that brings.”

The Naples Nothing Bundt Cakes opened on April 20 and is looking forward to celebrating with the community with a series of events:
