To find the perfect recipe, you first need the perfect ingredients. And that’s what our founders Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz were for each other. In 1997, they joined forces, or better yet kitchens, to help make cakes to entertain their friends and family. The cakes they made were delicious, unlike anything anyone had tasted. As a result, their friends and family asked them to entertain more and more.

They quickly realized this side project of theirs could be something more. There was a gap in the world for delicious cakes, readily available, that didn’t compromise on their ingredients. Real eggs, butter and cream cheese; nothing was too good to achieve perfection. And perfection are those decadent, slowly melting bites, we all know and love.

Flash forward and the Nothing Bundt Cakes brand has grown nationwide. Built on Dena and Debbie’s vision, each bakery still has the warmth and nostalgia of its home-kitchen roots, but we also take a modern approach for the world today. So whether you’re enjoying a bundt cake or a bundtini one thing is certain – perfection is all we offer.

In January of 2009 Michael Duhr was approached by Nick Luedy (owner of clevelandclothingco.net). Nick had seen some Graphic Design and Photoshop art on Michael’s Facebook page and asked him to design a new shirt. After many failed and underwhelming ideas, one really good idea shot into Michael’s brain. The idea was to graphically spell out Cleveland in the shape of Ohio. So he spent many hours making the design and tweaking it from the original rough shape of Ohio to the crisp outline used on his shirts today. He knew once the final draft was done that it would be a big seller, and was nervous he’d sell the design and see it everywhere and think he should have worked out a better deal. So he kept the design and bought ilovecle.com. Since taking the leap and going into business for himself, Michael has learned a lot and expanded his inventory to include the many designs that are currently available on ilovecle.com today.
