Nothing Bundt Cakes: Picking the Best Ingredients
When making this cream cheese frosting recipe, it is best to use real and fresh ingredients. When selecting cream cheese, real full-fat cream cheese in brick form is best to use. It has the least amount of water and is easy to use.
You will want to avoid using whipped or spreadable cream cheese because it will change the consistency of the frosting. These types of cream cheese tend to have more water which leads to a runny frosting.
For this recipe, it is best to use real butter and not imitation butter or margarine. It is also ideal to use real sugar and avoid using artificial sweeteners. Using only real ingredients will give it a pure and delightful taste.

Not only does this frosting go great with Bundt cakes, but it tastes great with several other desserts. It has a great sweet taste that compliments many baked goods. This frosting also goes great with cinnamon rolls, brownies, red velvet cake, carrot cake, and sugar cookies.
This frosting is also easy to work with. It works great for piping decorations and is easy to spread. However, it does not hold up well if it is in warm temperatures.
What You Will Need for This Nothing Bundt Cake Frosting

To prepare this frosting, you will need a large bowl and an electric mixer. Using the whisk attachment will allow the frosting to achieve the best texture.
Make sure that the butter and cream cheese are softened before making this recipe. You do not want them to be melted, otherwise, the frosting will not achieve a creamy, fluffy texture. If the cream cheese and butter are too cold it may cause the frosting to curdle.

Nothing Bundt Cake: Tips and Tricks
To frost your Bundt cakes just like Nothing Bundt Cakes does, fill a piping bag with the frosting and a round piping tip. Take the piping bag and start at the outside edge of the cake. Squeeze the piping bag while moving upward in a straight line to the center of the Bundt cake. This creates a simple and elegant design.
This frosting comes out off-white, so you may add food coloring to reach your desired shade. Gel-based food colorings work best with the texture of cream cheese frosting.
Cream cheese frosting can safely be stored at room temperature for up to two hours. When not being served, cream cheese frosting should be stored in the fridge to keep it fresh and avoid any foodborne illnesses. Cream cheese frosting can stay in the fridge for up to three days and in the freezer for up to one month.
Storing cream cheese frosting in the fridge can also help thicken it. You may also add up to half a cup of cornstarch to thicken your frosting. If you don’t want your cream cheese frosting cold, you can let it sit out until it reaches room temperature before serving it.

Does Nothing Bundt Cakes Sell Their Frosting?
While Nothing Bundt does not currently sell their frosting individually, if you place an order of any of their cakes, you can ask for an extra helping of their infamous signature frosting – so there is a way around it if you’re just looking for that delicious frosting. If you select this option of extra signature frosting, there is an additional charge.
Does Nothing Bundt Cakes have chocolate frosting?
Unfortunately, Nothing Bundt cakes do not currently have chocolate frosting. However, they do have several frosting options available for all of their Bundt cakes. They currently offer the following variations of frosting:
- Signature Frosting Petals
- Drizzle Frosting
- Lite Drizzle Frosting

While they do not offer chocolate frosting, they do offer a selection of chocolate-flavored Bundt cakes.
How to Decorate a Bundt Cake With Frosting?
Frosting a Bundt cake couldn’t be easier. Before you begin, ensure you have your cooled Bundt cake, as well as frosting that drizzles. Begin drizzling the frosting over your cake; ensuring that you spin the plate slowly as you pour. This helps to make an evenly distributed layer. If you tap the plate, this will help the frosting to drop down. Leave to set, serve and enjoy!
How Long Does It Take a Bundt Cake to Cool Before Icing?
Before you begin to ice your Bundt cake, it’s important to leave an adequate amount of time for it to cool. Firstly, you’ll need to remove your cake from the oven and leave it for around 10 minutes. At this point, you can invert the pan and release the cake.
Doing this will allow the cake to cool more quickly. However, it’s recommended to wait at least two hours before you begin to start icing your cake. This is because even the slightest amount of warmth when working with icing can melt it entirely. If you don’t want to cool your cake at room temperature, you can chill it in the refrigerator.
How Much Frosting Do I Need For a Bundt Cake?
When it comes to frosting a Bundt cake, it all depends on the size of your pan and how decorated you want your cake to be. Some people prefer a slight drizzle of icing, whereas others prefer the entire cake to be iced. I’ve found that when using a traditional Bundt pan, around 2 cups of icing (pourable but still thick) is enough for your entire cake.
How Do You Thin Can Frosting For Bundt Cake?
The canned frosting is super convenient, but you may find it’s too thick for a Bundt cake. If you want to thin the frosting out, it’s super easy. All you need to do is add the contents of the can to a saucepan and place it over low heat.
After a few minutes, the frosting should begin to thin. If you’re finding that it isn’t getting as thin as you’d like, just add one drop of milk and stir. Keep doing this until you’ve achieved the drizzle consistency that you’re looking for.
How Do You Frost a Bundt Cake With Ganache?
I adore chocolate, so the ganache is always my topping of choice when it comes to Bundt cake. For this recipe, you need your freshly made Bundt cake, 2/3 cup of heavy cream, and 1 cup of chocolate chips. All you need to do is add the heavy cream to a saucepan over medium heat and once simmering, reduce to low.
At this point, you can add your chocolate chips and keep stirring until the chocolate has melted. Once your ganache is smooth with a shine, you can remove it from heat. Leave to cool for at least 15 minutes before drizzling onto your Bundt cake; this gives it time to thicken too.
In Conclusion – A Delicious Cream Cheese Frosting
This take on Nothing Bundt Cakes cream cheese frosting is a great recipe to add to your collection. It is easy to make and has a great creamy taste.
