Brick and mortar is closed. But they have both a truck and online business. They were at 20th Street Park for soccer on Saturday. Everything I had was amazing. Cowboy cookies I could order another 10. Latte was smooth and creamy. Americano was nice and strong. Breakfast burrito was tasty and filling. All with a smile. Plan for about $10 to $15 per person. Would go back and try one of the other 20 things that looked great. read more

Found this gem of a bakery while putting together a 50th Birthday party for my Sister-in-law. I chose a Hawaiian theme for her party and placed a call to Lovely Layers and spoke with Emily. Ordered the cake and had it delivered to a local restaurant along with some delicious lemon cupcakes. The cake was so delicious and moist. The guests were ranting about the cake and wanted to know where I got it. Emily is wonderful to work with and will provide cake/cupcake stands if you need them (nice touch). You will love Lovely layers! read more

We came here for our wedding cake and had a great experience! Our cake tasting was a lovely experience and the customer service has been great the entire time. Pricing was also very reasonable. We went with a two tier cake with the chocolate mocha flavor on the bottom and strawberry cheesecake on top for a his and hers type of thing. Everyone was able to try both flavors and raved about them! It looked exactly has we had discussed and we loved it so much. It was beautiful. We decided to go back after our wedding for our party 2 weeks later and got 36 cupcakes - vanilla, chocolate raspberry cream, and strawberry cheesecake. They were so delicious! read more

My day started off very busy, and I lost track of time. When I arrived at Lovely Layers to pick up a large order for Sarah's birthday, I found the doors closed and the business shut for the day. The sign on the door indicated they had closed 30 minutes earlier. Frustrated, I sent a nasty email to the business through their website, ready to write a scathing review. To my surprise, I received a very prompt reply from the owner, simply stating, "Please call me." I called her, and after a brief conversation, she apologized and offered to meet me so I could pick up my order. She mentioned she would have to travel 45 minutes to do so. This level of customer service is something I find lacking so often nowadays. As someone who works in the Food & Beverage industry, I was taken aback by her grace. I apologized to the owner for my harsh email. I cannot recommend Lovely Layers enough. Their cupcakes are not only beautiful but also delicious. I can't wait to try their other items. They also have a coffee shop inside, and I'm looking forward to coming back with Sarah to enjoy a cup of coffee and a pastry. Thank you very much read more

I've purchased two cakes from LLC and they were both amazing! The taste is beyond good! Both cakes were beautifully made. We've also ordered the Easter cupcakes, quiche and hot cross buns. They were a hit! The bakery is so lovely and welcoming and the staff is friendly. I'm so happy we found this gem in Chico. read more

Ordered a custom cake through Emily and it definitely exceeded my expectations and then some. I was absolutely amazed. I had the silly idea to have a boob cake made for my breastfed baby and this crew made our dream come true! The cake looked absolutely amazing, the taste was absolutely delicious, and the communication with emily was great. I will definitely be back for a custom cake again! I also visited the mobile bakery to try out some baked goods and coffee. I was welcomed with smiles and happy attitudes along with the aroma of their yummy treats. I had a chocolate croissant, and one of the best chocolate croissants I have ever had may I add. Iced coffee was great as well. Their prices are definitely more than fair especially for how delicious everything is. I have nothing but great things to say about them! I will be back for sure!! read more

I wanted to thank you SO much and let you know how much everyone loved the cake and cupcakes! I had so many people coming up to me asking where I bought it and how fantastic it was! It was perfectly light creamy and not too sweet. Amazing! I just wish we lived near you! Good luck with business I'm sure you'll be extremely successful in Chico. read more

If I could give negative stars I would You guys really lost a customer you took my cake order I paid it that day and then couldn't even actually knock on our door even actually call or text the right number that I sent you or emailed me and then had me pick up the cake btw your baking out of a different restaurants rented space that is illegal and cross contamination. your business went really downhill after you sold your store front maybe if you own a business and take someone's money for product actually stay in touch with that person and not ignore them until I worte a comment about it on your page read more

Lovely layers is just that. Absolutely lovely! They go above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy. A variety of flavors and even do gluten free options. My husband and I got out wedding cake and some cupcakes from them. We did a marble cake and holy sh*t. It was so amazing ! I recommend ordering ahead for bigger parties or special flavors. I love that they alternate their menu in cupcake falvors read more

Absolutely hands DOWN the best cupcakes in Chico. And probably all of Northern California at this point. My best friend is Vegan. She's not picky but unfortunately the world just doesn't offer many vegan options and especially ones that actually taste good! This place has a couple different Vegan options and I enjoyed them just as much as the regular cupcakes. I ordered a half dozen and that just wasn't enough. The ladies were so kind & polite when I ordered which made me smile. They boxed the Vegan cupcakes seperately which of course was greatly appreciated. It's the little things in life! I WILL BE BACK! This is an absolute GEM tucked away off Park Ave. I encourage everyone to give them a try! read more

Ordered a lemon raspberry cupcake. Received a red velvet cupcake. I hate red velvet. I didn't realize I had gotten the wrong cupcake because I saved it for dessert after dinner. Very disappointed. read more

I ordered 3 dozen cupcakes, spent 108 dollars, left a 10 dollar tip for the baker and they didn't even have the customer service to help me at open the door while holding 3 boxes of cupcakes. Overall the cupcakes tasted good, but they were much smaller than the last time I ordered them. Although the cupcakes tasted good, I will be looking for a new bakery next time I order cupcakes for a party because it wasn't worth the price. read more

I was gifted a box of cupcakes for my birthday. The funfetti cupcake is pretty amazing. It might be my new favorite flavor!

Well if you are into your tastebuds being dazzled and amazed this is a highly recommended bakery!! The Carmel Macchiato cupcake is espresso soaked and uses real whip cream!!! There's also a lucky charms cupcake soaked in cereal milk!!! My mouth is still watering over this one!!! Emily and her staff are amazing! Thank you for making me happy in all the right places!! read more

Excellent cake and selection. I found it difficult to make a choice an about the best cake for the birthday party. They were patient with me as I processed the options and finally made my choice. Everybody loved the cake. read more

First of all, I noticed a lot of people complaining about customer service but I personally never felt like anyone was anything but polite and extremely helpful every time I called or visited in person. In fact, I had actually originally contacted another very popular company for wedding cakes but was told "sorry honey, I just don't have time for you." So after that talking with the owner and staff of Lovely Layers was always welcoming and nice. Getting this cake/and cupcakes was BY FAR one of the easiest things to get done for the wedding. The cake and cupcakes TASTED SO GOOD! I got so many compliments during the wedding. Not to mention, we ordered 8 dozen cupcakes and a 3 tier cake for roughly 100 people who stayed for it and I think we only ended up with a little bit of leftover cake. It's true what they say about barely getting to eat at your own wedding but I did get some cake (obviously) and I managed to snag one of the last gluten free raspberry cream cupcakes and it was so delicious. read more

Lovely Layers is a dream to work with! Emily blew us away with her incredible artistry. Our wedding cake design was a first for her, but that did not stop her. Emily also placed all our floral on the cake with such expertise that the cake truly belongs in a magazine or a museum. Now, where the real magic comes in... is the taste! We had Lemon, Marble & Champagne. All were absolutely to die for. Our guests were fighting each other for seconds! If you are in need of a beautiful, unique and most importantly TASTY wedding cake - look no further! Emily works with all budgets and taste buds! read more

Super fast, very moist, flavorful cupcakes with the right sweetness and icing levels. I'll be back for more.

We've been here many times. The quality is outstanding. The folks are charming. The location is quirky but awesome and easy. Enjoy!

This is definitely one of my top 5 places for something local & sweet! They have the best cupcakes and are always making fun flavors and uber cute cupcakes. The employees are always kind and seem to genuinely love their job and I am not sure why, but, it always feels a little magical when I visit. (Think a kids first time in a candy shop.) They have gluten-free options and also make some savory items as well. I am a personal fan of their pizza rolls too. read more

We ordered a cake for my daughter's graduation from Chico State. I sent a picture of what my daughter wanted her cake to look like and the flavors of both the cake and frosting she was requesting. I emailed the bakery a couple of times and each time they responded in a very timely manner. The cake looked exactly like the picture I sent and the flavor was absolutely incredible! So delicious!!! All of our guests said the same thing. I highly recommend this bakery for any of your dessert needs!! read more

Amazing cupcakes!!!! The best ever. Great breakfast burritos and coffee too. Great prices.

If you are truly celiac and not just gluten free for fun, I would not recommend trusting the Gluten Free options. The first issue I had was awhile ago and I let it slide because I caught the error before my daughter actually ate the cupcakes. It was heartbreaking because we specifically ordered them for her birthday!!! So, she wound up watching everyone at the party eat cupcakes and she did not get one....I did phone the bakery and had a lengthy discussion about their mistake. They apologized, but also were a tad patronizing, "Sorry, our bad; what's the big deal? She didn't eat them right?" Last week a friend purchased four different flavors of gluten free cupcakes. My daughter eagerly ate one and commented "wow mom, that was so good, it didn't even taste gluten free!" She started the dreadful celiac vomits 6 hours later, she is also Type 1 diabetic so her blood sugar levels keep dropping due to the malabsorption in her GI tract and she has the tell tale rash on her torso. I know this was the source of gluten because it is the only outside food she consumed in the previous 24 hours. After a second mistake I'm seeing that this bakery simply doesn't take gluten seriously. If you are celiac steer clear or suffer the consequences. read more

I heard about lovely layers through a friend and decided to check it out because I am a fiend for cupcakes. I went there on a Thursday and was sad to find out that they only do cupcakes and cookies without an appt. on Fridays. I never would have known about this place due to the location being off the beat and path but am glad I found it. The interior was cute- very rustic/ shabby chic. That next day I returned and happily selected four different cupcakes. The employee was very helpful and explained what was on each cupcake. The only criticism I have was my red velvet cupcake was a little dry. Everything else I picked out was moist and delish though. I will definitely be returning! read more

Emily has done a few birthday cakes for me, and she just recently did our wedding cake, all of them have been fabulous! She is so creative, and I totally entrust all of my crazy visions to her, and she always meets and exceeds expectations! I have ordered a vanilla with raspberry filling, and two neapolitan cakes from her, they were super yummy. For our wedding cake, our top tier was lemon, middle was coconut, and the third was strawberry cheesecake. While all were beyond tasty, the strawberry cheesecake flavor is OMG AMAZING! So many guests raved about it! Thank you Emily! I will see ya for our next event! ;) read more

All the food and desserts here are TO DIE FOR. They're so delicious and they taste so fresh. It's my favorite bakery hands down. However there's two girls that work there, that are definitely not known for their customer service. The few times they've helped me, they speak very condescendingly and every question I have is treated like it's stupid. I just had my fiancé go and get me a 4 pack of cupcakes. He said the whole time he was trying to order the girl that wasn't taking his order kept speaking over him to the girl taking his order. She had to ask him to repeat almost everything each time he spoke. She was having a whole conversation about non work related things while trying to take his order. He wouldn't mind waiting. But she asked him what he'd like and then the whole time acted as if she wasn't ready and he was being rude. The owner is amazing and I'll never stop coming here. I just wish they were nicer. I love the atmosphere and knowing that everything I'm eating is freshly baked. Ignoring the customer service, this is a 5 star place! read more

I called Emily and asked her if she could make some kind of "Volcano" cake as I was having an award party celebration for those that met my outdoor adventure group's challenge of hiking 5 peaks-4 types of volcanos-3 months in Lassen Volcanic National Park. She immediatly told me yes with a description including using dry ice for a smokey effect. Let me tell you, Emily went beyond just making a cake! It was a MASTERPIECE! A true work of art! In addition, the cake was delicious! Not that overly sweet kind of generic cake you have made at the supermarket with some package crap! If you want something special and will not settle for less, have your cake made by Emily! You will not be disappointed! read more

I haven't personally been here yet but a coworker brought in cupcakes and I don't think I've ever had a better one! It was some sort of filled chocolate mousse deal. I need to get a dozen for myself read more

A coworker brought in a dozen of these cupcakes and I was able to try one! I had the Mocha Chocolate Cupcake, but there were a few other flavors brought in. Peanut Butter Creme and a Lemon Custard of some sort. All I can say was it was amazing! Super moist, and the butter creme frosting was heavenly, really light and the whole experience and every bit was delicious! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this bakery and I'll be a customer for LIFE! I have ordered several party cakes which all were insanely beautiful and taste like heaven. My friend mentioned another business for my little sisters birthday recently so I made the GIANT error of going elsewhere. I picked up the cake from the other place only to be horrified at its size and extremely bad design which also had fur on it. It was bad I ran it right over to lovely layers and without question they scooped it out of my hands and got to work. They scraped it and went above and beyond redecorating it -- even fixing misspelling from the original place They were sweet and did it all 30 mins before close. Life savers! I also was able to snag some of their delicious cupcakes while I was there. Lesson learned and always a lovely layers customer only from now on. Dont hesitate to order, they're the real deal! read more

Love this place! Has the best breakfast burritos in town. Staff is wonderful, selection is great, and everything made fresh daily. This is small business that sells out daily so they can make new fresh pastries for customers tomorrow. if you're unhappy about the selection or running out then you don't understand a small local treasure of a business like this. Thank you lovely layers for being a part of Chico! read more

5 years since my first review and this place STILL gets a 5-star rating. Lovely Layers has been my go-to for cupcakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, and even my wedding cake and mini cupcakes. What can I say, this place is beyond marvelous. As a lover of all things gluten free, having an every day GF variety (2 actually) is perfect. They also do vegan cupcakes that don't taste dry and blech. Magical baking, awesome people, coffee and whatever your heart desires. Get up in here. read more

Lovely Layers is always such a pleasure to deal with. I use to work across the street from them, they were my go to for coffee and cupcakes and cinnamon rolls. They have always been reasonably priced and the cakes are beautiful and amazing. To name a few, my sister had her wedding cake, my birthday cake, my brother-in-law cake all were made by Lovely Layers and they never disappoint. Once I was engaged I knew that I wanted Lovely Layers to make my wedding cake. I brought them a design for my wedding cake and Emily exceeded my expectations. The flavors are amazing, we had two cakes, the triple C and the Raspberry filling! I received many compliments on the cake at my wedding! read more

Best vegan cupcakes in town! So glad they have vegan options. They even do custom vegan orders! Won't go anywhere else after coming here. 10/10 worth it! They also did a custom vegan slicer cake and cupcakes for my wedding. It turned out wonderful! My guests LOVED the cupcakes! read more
