Jenna Lamb – Where Passion and Purpose Collide

Jenna Lamb’s journey with Nothing Bundt Cakes started by default when the idea was born between her Mother, Debbie Shwetz, and Debbie’s friend, Dena Tripp. The business launched out of her home kitchen and she had the privilege of being an original bundt cake flavor tester. At age 14, she worked as a part-time Guest Service Representative at the original West Sahara location in Las Vegas prior to franchising. She always loved the guest experience and found through her experience there that she truly enjoyed the genuine connection she was able to form with people coming in to celebrate their special occasions. She worked in the bakery on and off through college where she received her degree in Communication Studies from CSULB.
