How to Frost a Bundt Cake Like Nothing Bundt Cakes
- Fill a piping bag using a medium size 1A round tip with cream cheese frosting.
- Begin frosting the cake by piping frosting by starting on the outside of the cake and going over the top of the cake into the middle. Divide the cakes into fourths with the frosting.
- Use even pressure and do not let the tip of the decorating bag touch the cake.
- When you get to the middle of the cake, allow the frosting to fall down into the cake.
- Pipe another row on one side of the first row of frosting.
- Add two more rows in between each double row.
- Frost one more row in between each double row.
- Use an offset spatula or a knife to spread the frosting in the center of the cake in a smooth layer.
- Fill the center of the cake with raspberries if desired.

Have a question…these are delicious, but the bottom is gooey. I am wondering if that is from the raspberries being from and then defrosted. Like I wonder if it has to much moisture. Maybe use fresh ones. Did you experience this?
Leigh Anne Wilkes says
Probably, if the raspberries are pretty wet, unlike fresh raspberries it will make them soggier. I generally use fresh vs. frozen.
Eden Passante says
These are adorable! Love them!
Karla Smith says
Which size of pudding mix? (5.1 oz. Or 3.4 oz.) also, how many ounces for the cake mix, since they vary? Thank you,
Leigh Anne says
Sorry about that – the smaller box.
Karla Smith says
I used this recipe for a groom’s cake and they all loved it. I made a two layer 8″ square, two layer12″ square, and two half sheet cakes. I used the 16.5 ounce cake mix and the 5.1 ounce pudding mix. The first few cakes came out very dense so I reduced the pudding and that made it more fluffy. I thought about using the cream cheese icing between the layers but it came out too sweet. Instead, I used the home made chocolate butter cream icing for the whole cake as per the bride’s request. Delicious. Thank you for posting recipes. KS
