Looking for a simple and quick wedding cake alternative?

A simple and easy way to make a beautiful cake is to start with the Nordic Ware Rose Bundt Cake pan.

The Nordic Ware bundt cake pans are high quality and the cakes come out of the pans with ease (be sure to use Baker’s Joy spray to coat the pan).

As you can see from the finished cake, you won’t need to mess with decorator’s icing. A simple glaze would be just enough to sweeten the cake. Or, better yet, a dusting of powdered sugar would be beautiful.

Coconut Bundt Cake With Powdered-Sugar Glaze
