NOTHING BUNDT CAKES® RECOGNIZED BY YELP AS FIFTH-FASTEST-GROWING BRAND IN AMERICA

Nation's largest specialty cake company grew by nearly 20% in 2024  

DALLAS , March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nothing Bundt Cakes, the nation's largest specialty cake company, continues to solidify its place as one of America's top brands, earning recognition as Yelp's No. 5 Fastest Growing Brand.

Yelp's Fastest Growing Brands report lists 50 restaurant, food and retail brands based on development data such as net new business openings, consumer interest and online searches.  

"Ranking in the top five fastest-growing brands reflects our continued commitment to bring joy through cake to guests nationwide," said Nothing Bundt Cakes CEO Dolf Berle. "We've been opening an average of 100 new bakeries per year since 2023 and plan to pick up the pace while also prioritizing flavor innovation and improving the guest experience through our mobile app and delivery."

Nothing Bundt Cakes debuted on Yelp's first-ever list of the fastest-growing brands last year at No. 26 and quickly climbed to the top five in just one year after posting 18% growth in 2024. This period of rapid growth has been led by the entire Nothing Bundt Cakes leadership team, including its newly appointed Chief Development Officer Joel Larkin, who joined the team in Q4 2024.

"As the brand continues to expand at the fastest rate in its history, I am focused on maintaining our growth trajectory while ensuring quality and efficiency across all operations," said Larkin. "Our business model is primed for success, and we will continue to create exceptional opportunities for new and existing bakery owners to bring this special brand to communities nationwide."

Yelp's recognition comes just weeks after Technomic named Nothing Bundt Cakes America's No. 1 Favorite Restaurant Chain. Nothing Bundt Cakes has more than doubled in size over the past five years, growing to over 675 locations across North America. The brand will open its 700^th location in a few months and plans to have 1,000 bakeries by 2027.
