Panama City Beach Chamber of Commerce Introduction
By Eme Howard
When I was a kid growing up in Jackson County, it was always a special treat when my mom would bake a delicious chocolate cake for our family to eat… for breakfast! I thought eating cake for breakfast was perfectly normal at the time, but in reality, we were eating it for breakfast because that is when she had time to bake the cake with her competing priorities as a mother, a school teacher, and helping my dad run his peanut farm. Now it’s a special memory that reminds me of how much our mother loved us. As an adult, cake is still bringing my family closer together.
After working in health care and living all over the United States and Europe as a military wife for 20 years, I decided to move back home to North Florida and open a cake bakery in Panama City. It was time to put roots down for my two young daughters and be close to family again. As a local owner and entrepreneur, I wanted to bring a brand with national recognition and appreciation to Bay County. In February 2023, I opened the Nothing Bundt Cakes located in the Hobby Lobby shopping center at Highway 77 and 23rd Street.
At Nothing Bundt Cakes, we handcraft Bundt cakes in our local bakery using real ingredients like butter, eggs, and cream cheese. We offer a variety of delicious flavors, such as red velvet, chocolate chocolate chip, and lemon, to name a few. Each cake can be topped with unique cake decorations for an extra special treat. With a wide selection of retail items, including party supplies, décor, and gifts, our bakery is the perfect one-stop celebration shop.
The core values of the Nothing Bundt Cakes brand are a servant’s heart and the spirit of a champion. We live these core values in our local bakery every day by giving back to our community. We offer fundraising opportunities to local schools, athletic teams, and organizations to help them meet their financial needs. We also partner with organizations, such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bay County and Florida Hands & Voices, to give a percentage of our sales back to the community.
Owning a new business has been an adventure, but one that I have loved. I am making sweet new memories with my daughters, and being home again in North Florida has been the frosting on the cake.
We are open Monday -Saturday 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. and are located at 506 Hawkins Ave, Panama City (Hobby Lobby shopping center). You can place an order online or call us at (850) 829-3005. Learn more by visiting our website https://www.nothingbundtcakes.com/.
