After brunch at Little Next Door this morning, I decided to check out Kiss My Bundt Bakery http://www.kissmybundt.net/. Kiss My Bundt is devoted almost entirely to (you guessed it) bundt cakes. The bakery offers three sizes of bundt cake -- Mini Bundt, Baby Bundts, and Big Ol' Bundts. Big Ol' Bundts are available only by special order, and I didn't see too many Baby Bundts in the case, but not to worry -- the Mini Bundts are the perfect size for these moist yummy cakes! There are 32 flavors of bundt, and various frostings to choose from. The 8 most popular flavors are offered every day:
1. Callebaut® Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Glaze
2. Callebaut® Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream and Belgian Chocolate sprinkles
3. Callebaut® Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
4. Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Buttercream
5. Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Buttercream and white chocolate shavings
6. Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
7. Luscious Lemon Drop Cake, featuring a house-made lemon syrup and lemon glaze
8. Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
1. Callebaut® Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Glaze
2. Callebaut® Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream and Belgian Chocolate sprinkles
3. Callebaut® Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
4. Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Buttercream
5. Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Buttercream and white chocolate shavings
6. Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
7. Luscious Lemon Drop Cake, featuring a house-made lemon syrup and lemon glaze
8. Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
The other flavors offered vary daily, with as many as 15 flavors available some days. Kiss my Bundt also serves brownies, fair trade coffee and tea, and now that the weather has sorta cooled off, homemade hot chocolate.
The shop is very cheery, with a pink, brown and white decor. There were Halloween decorations up, and a Halloween theme to certain of the cakes (i.e. orange-colored frosting and brown and orange sprinkles on some cakes).
Chrysta Wilson, the proprietress and creator of these yummy confections, was at the register when I came in. She offered me samples of "anything and everything." I opted to sample the day's special offerings -- pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting, and pumpkin cake with cinnamon glaze. As I can attest from both the samples and and my later consumption of a mini bundt in each flavor, both were fantastic. The pumpkin cake was moist and not-too-sweet, and both the cream cheese frosting and cinnamon glaze were great complements to the cake. Also, each had the perfect amount of icing/frosting. Enough to satisfy a frosting enthusiast, but not so much that the little cakes were overwhelmed.
I bought several flavors of mini-bundt to try -- I knew my colleagues at work would be more than happy to help me taste test. Aside from the aforementioned pumpkin combos, I bought red velvet with cream cheese frosting, dark chocolate with dark chocolate glaze, and the Halloween-themed vanilla with vanilla buttercream . All were fantastic, with the dark chocolate and red velvet voted the favorites by my co-workers. Like me, they appreciated the frosting/icing to cake ratio. I can't wait to go back and try the other flavors, especially the lemon and carrot, and am looking forward to some hot chocolate when it is a tad cooler.
The verdict: I will happily support this neighborhood gem. The mini-bundts are as good if not better than any cupcake in LA. I suggest you check it out next time a cupcake or sweets craving hits.
