I like Big Bundts and I cannot lie…
Sir Mix-A-Lot himself would have to bow down to , the creation of Chapel Hill’s Kristen Benkendorfer. Every Saturday I arrive at the and make a bee-line for the Big Bundts tent to get my daily fix of Kristen’s culinary creations and a cup of coffee (or lately, Agua Fresca de Pepino, a deliciously refreshing lime-cucumber water). Over the course of the past few months I’ve had slices of Lotta Lemon, Banana Caramel, Blueberry, Guinness Chocolate Stout, and (my favorite) Key Lime bundt cakes. Kristen is always ready with a welcoming smile and an enthusiasm for her cakes and for the market that never ceases to energize me. Her bundt cakes are her signature, but she also does scones (the Rosemary scone was to-die-for), cupcakes, and delicious brownie bundt bites. Additionally, she sources many of her ingredients from other South Estes Farmers’ Market vendors, making them truly LOCAL bundts!
Brownie Bundt Bites
If you shop at South Estes Farmers’ Market and you haven’t tried some of Kristen’s bundt cakes yet, well, what are you waiting for!? That goes for those who don’t normally shop at SEFM as well – Big Bundts & More is worth the trip alone!
You can special order your very own bundt cake at the , or visit Kristen every Saturday morning (and some Tuesday afternoons) at the . Click through for more photos of some truly delicious bundt cakes.

A sampling of some Big Bundts magic - are you salivating yet?
I have yet to make a trip to the SEFM, but I will now. Great write up and I am drooling over the pictures.
You gotta come down to SEFM! We’ve got the variety of Durham or Carrboro without all the hassle! The bundt cakes alone are worth the trip, but thats just the opinion of an addict.
