New Bundt Cake Shop Opens in Saratoga

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Nothing Bundt Cakes, a specialty cake franchise with more than 600 locations nationwide, has come to Saratoga Springs.

The new shop, which took over the former Edible Arrangements location at 6 Lowes Drive near the Wilton Mall, is spearheaded by Colonie native Melissa Gleason, who said she fell in love with bundt cakes after her mother-in-law sent her one.

“I got to try, for the first time, white chocolate raspberry, which I absolutely love, and that kind of sold me,” Gleason said.

With her kids in school, Gleason decided the time was right to open up her own business. So in 2017, she opened Nothing Bundt Cakes’ first shop in New York State in Albany. Three years later came a location in Clifton Park. Now there’s one in Saratoga. Another outpost in North Greenbush is next on the agenda.

“Albany really took off. We’re actually still one of the biggest bakeries in our region. It just kind of encouraged us to open up more stores to spread it out and take some pressure off that bakery,” Gleason said.

The Saratoga bakery had a soft opening in late March, and is now officially celebrating its launch with a series of events this weekend. Friday, April 11 is both the official ribbon cutting and AIM Services Benefit Day, when 20% of sales will be donated to an organization that supports people with developmental and intellectual disabilities. On Saturday, April 12, the first 50 guests age 18+ will receive a Free Bundtlets for a Year punch card valid for one personal-sized Bundtlet per month for 12 months.

Nothing Bundt Cakes is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
