NATIONAL BUNDT DAY
National Bundt Day, also known as National Bundt Cake Day, is observed every year on November 15th. As people across the United States plan menus for the holidays, a bundt cake is sure to be on the list at least once.
#NationalBundtDay
A bundt cake can be any cake baked in a Bundt pan, forming it into a distinctive ring shape. The mold of the Bundt pan was initially inspired by the traditional European fruit cake known as Gugelhupf. It was in the 1950s and 1960s that the cookware company Nordic Ware popularized the style for the mold design and trademarked the name Bundt. Nordic Ware started producing Bundt pans made from cast aluminum. Similar pans are sold as “fluted tube pans” or other similarnames.
Due to the difficulty of frosting a ring-shaped cake, bundt cakes are typically served undecorated, glazed, or dusted with powdered sugar.
In the beginning, the Bundt pan did not sell well, and Nordic Ware considered discontinuing the product. Then in the 1963 New Good Housekeeping Cookbook, the Bundt pan was mentioned, and sales increased.
In 1966, sales increased dramatically when a Bundt cake called the “Tunnel of Fudge,” baked by Ella Helfrich, took second place at the annual Pillsbury Bake-Off and winning a $5,000.00 prize. The publicity from the Bake-Off resulted in more than 200,000 Bundt pan requests.
Nordic Ware has sold more than 60 million Bundt pans across North America.

Bundt Ping!................
I never heard of gugelhupf. Had to look that up.
I looked up “tunnel of fudge.” Don’t do that without strict filters on your search engine. Just go straight to the Pillsbury page.

LOLOLOL!......................
I don’t miss carbs. I just try not to think about them!....................
We’re doing Keto and fasting for 18 hours. We started on WW but that didn’t take the weight off fast enough for either of us.
What we’re doing now means one less meal for me to cook, which is SUPER, and neither of us have been hungry, per se.
We’ll see how we do over Thanksgiving and Christmas. I ain’t making any promises, LOL!
Um, NO!
And ‘making other foodstuffs’ when it’s just Cauliflower isn’t fooling anyone, either, LOL!
Have you ever tried that ‘Cauliflower Rice’ stuff?.............
This will frost some people.
And leave some people with a hole in their spirit...................
