    We got a custom birthday cake for my friends birthday. The process of planning it was so easy and we picked it up and it was absolutely perfect. I requested just a Coraline themed cake and it was so beautiful and intricate. The birthday girl loved it. 10/10 recommend Mim's bakery for a custom cake!

    Citron Framboise: other customers expected this also.

    I was not able to locate the original post, so I will post again to help you decide if you want to try this place out. As I mentioned, YOU DECIDE. It is a hit and miss with this place. If your event is important enough, then read the reviews carefully and take your chances. There are good reviews for this company and they were lucky to get what they ordered. We ordered the Citron Framboise, but take a look at the pics to see what we got. Our guests stated that the icing was so sweet and thick and they could not eat it. We also did not get raspberries in the middle, we got a preserve or jam which was awful. In my first post, I mentioned that based on all the good reviews of Mim's, we decided on something new and give Mim's a try. We usually go to Upper Crust. After our experience with Mim's, we posted our review. The owner responded by saying we were complaining about Upper Crust which is NOT TRUE! In the owner's response, she also disclosed all the details of our order which included private health information. Very unprofessional to behave in this childish and appalling manner. But the service, quality, and the fact we did not get what we ordered is NOT the worst thing. You better be happy with your order because if you try to complain, the owner will SHOOT you down before you get a word in. If that is not convincing enough, stay turned for the owner's infuriating response to get an idea of how you will be treated if you are not happy with your order.

    Another GF winner! This time for our daughter- she chose the chocolate strawberries and cream. The triple layered 12" round was really beautiful and served 40 with plenty to take home. Everyone was really impressed and agreed it was so delicious. Thank you, Mim's!

    Law Enforcement Retirement Cake!

    We hired Mim's Bakery to create a cake for a law enforcement retirement party. It was amazing! It looked spectacular and the flavors of both tiers were phenomenal! They were so easy to work with; we will definitely go back whenever we need a true cake creation.

    Such a beautiful wedding cake! It turned out exactly as we hoped and tasted incredible! They were super easy to work with and made sure we knew everything we needed to get the cake set up smoothly

    Indigenous themed grad cake.
    Brandon A.

    I have been meaning to write this review for a couple weeks now. I recently graduated from UC Berkeley with my MSW and my family decided to throw me a small surprise grad party. My husband ordered the cake from Mim's and worked with them to come up with a design that contained the colors of Berkeley and incorporated my indigenous heritage. I couldn't have been more happy with how it all turned out. Anyone who knows me knows that I love cake. The flavor was Amaretto Mocha Latte and ranks in the top two best cakes I've ever had as it was both beautiful and delicious. One of my favorite designs was the acorn because it was made of cake and made me feel like I had my own personal cake. We will definitely be ordering from Mim's again if we are in Chico and in need of a cake. - Cake is life

    a cake in a box

    I have been having a craving for white cake with white frosting and I couldn't find any place to get just a slice, so I ordered a small cake from Mim's bakery; it was one of the most amazing things I've ever had! It was perfect...beautiful, amazing texture and flavor, not artificial tasting and it didn't taste like Crisco (like many bakery cakes do). I am very pleased and will absolutely order another cake from Mim's when the need (or craving) arises.

    I've ordered cakes there a couple times and both cakes were flawless! I'm a huge fan of the very talented melissa peters!

    As I was driving on Humboldt from Pine, I began to doubt that there was a bakery in there somewhere because it was definitely residential. And as soon as I was giving up, voilá, there was Mim's. I bought a lemon cupcake. ($3) The lemon curd and frosting were delicious; just enough tart and sweetness. Their cake was moist but the texture was almost like cornbread to me. Would I buy it again? I'm not sure.

    The Lemon Fambiose cake for my wife's 75th birthday was the best--or nearly the best--any of the 20 guests had eaten. And it was beautiful!

    I ordered the turkey club on homemade focaccia with a side of fruit and a brownie, and everything…read morewas excellent. The focaccia was the standout, perfectly moist, soft, and flavorful without being overly oily. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the sandwich was well balanced and satisfying. The brownie was exceptional. Rich without being overly sweet, perfectly textured, and easily the best brownie I've ever had. I'll definitely be back!

    I went to Heirloom Kitchen in early April to order a carrot cake for my partner's birthday. He's a…read morebit of a carrot cake aficionado, and Marcy said hers was an old family recipe. Well, this cake did not disappoint! It was a stunning 3-layer 6" cake, with simple yet elegant decoration. The cream cheese frosting was divine, and best of all -- there were no raisins! He said it was the best he's ever had... so Heirloom helped make me girlfriend of the year! The day I placed my order, I also picked up a Cobb salad to-go, and that was also one of the best Cobbs I've ever had. There was a generous amount of seasoned, roasted chicken and a side of chunky blue cheese dressing. Perhaps my favorite discovery? Salads (maybe all bistro items?) come with a complimentary brownie bite! I learned this on my first visit after they ran after me to my car -- "You forgot your brownie!" I hadn't ordered one, so I was understandably confused... but I gladly accepted, and enjoyed, a bite of happiness in brownie form. I've since returned for another Cobb salad + brownie lunch treat, and I can't wait for my next excuse to order a cake. I only wish their charcuterie boards came in smaller portions for weekend winery excursions. Charcuterie is my favorite food group, but I just haven't had a reason or event to order for 4-6 people. Thank you, Heirloom, for keeping Chico sweet!
