Lovely Layers Cakery

I am in love with this place, i ordered cookies and cake and cupcakes from this place and it was all amazing!

Lovely Layers Cakery is hands down my new favorite bakery. When you step inside their bakery it feels like you’ve been transported to a rustic wonderland.
Of course they do wedding cakes and custom designed cakes, but they also have a zillion flavors of cupcakes as well as a monthly menu of flavors that they keep stocked right there. You can also special order sugar cookies, other types of cookies, holiday pies, etc. So far my favorite cupcake is Red Velvet. OH MY GOSH.
This local business seems to have it all– friendly people, a cute interior, and processes in place to do some serious business. Next year I want a dinosaur cake!

Emily has done it again! Love this baby first cake! Talent and great taste! Thank you Emily!

I have nothing but love for Emily and her creations! My daughter loves going to have a treat and they always treat her like a princess! We have been loyal customers since they opened and will always be! Which brings me to reading the reviews and I have a complaint for the person who gave them a 1 star… you haven’t even tried their products and you complain? Seriously… that’s like going to a dress shop, trying nothing on and saying because the dresses don’t come in your size… they are no good… Emily is the owner and she would never treat someone like that… if you had an issue I would recommend calling her directly or stopping in to ask her to resolve it. Letting her have a chance to prove the quality of their product and their excellent customer service. Rather than making a 1 star on a mostly perfect business. It’s tough being a small business and I know they would surely have made it right. Off my soapbox… try the cakes, try the cupcakes, try the cookies… try the breakfasts… try it all. Enjoy it!

I called these lovely ladies a day before I needed a cake and they delivered! I asked them for a cake with a peacock on it — I told them it didn’t have to be anything fancy because I know that I was only giving them 24 hours notice. I was SO happy when I saw the cake! It was perfect!
Not only did it look great but it tasted great as well. And the ladies there were super nice and friendly and totally accommodating. Definitely getting my next employee’s cake from there!

Emily does an amazing job on each item going out of her bakery. Best cakery in Chico!

I have to be honest and say that this review is solely based on their customer service and not on the quality or taste of their work (in fact I never even got to taste their cakes). I wanted a specialty cake for a birthday party that happened to be around Valentine’s day. They ask for 7 days notice for specialty cakes but knowing that bakeries are often busy that time of year I went in on January 30. I spoke the woman who was there about the sizes, flavors, the design I wanted, and price points she told me all my options and I asked her when I would need to make a final decision by and place the order. She told me that I would have to do it before the end of business day on the 2^nd and they would be able to make that specific cake by the weekend of th 14^th. On February 2^nd I went in having made a final decision and ready to place an order. When I told them when I needed it they said «nope.» I was baffled because I had previously been told to come in on that date. I tried to explain what I had been told but the person helping said they couldn’t do it and that the woman who had been there on Saturday wasn’t there any longer. The entire time she was very short and, quite frankly, rude. I wish I could have reviewed them based on their work because it seems quite good but they have lost me as a customer.

Beautiful cake not enough instructions on what to do before serving ok tasted on the cake

My baby shower was a success! Lovely layers was able to provide me with an amazing cake after providing them with two cake designs I wanted into one. They did it perfect and even added little sunflowers for the theme! Strawberry cheesecake was the flavor and boy was it yummy! I would definitely recommend lovely layers to anyone in the area or willing to drive 40 minutes like I did just to get what you want. Also they make really yummy cupcakes of course! My boyfriend and I went to place the cake order and pickup, each time we left with a couple different cupcakes for the road! Who could resist?!

I’m not really a cake person… But this is some dang good cake! The lemon flavor is my favorite!

I am so thrilled that I chose Lovely Layers for my wedding cake!!! We went with the coconut cake, and let me tell you, it may have been the biggest hit of the wedding! Everyone is still talking about how delicious the cake and cookies were! We also did a couple dozen of the snicker doodles and a couple dozen of the gluten free cookies. Truly delicious.
I asked to have some llamas surfing on the cake (reflecting our personalities), and I didn’t really give any direction because I trusted the talent at LL and for good reason … Our surfing llamas were AMAZING!!! I was so overjoyed with how our desserts came out.
Thank you Lovely Layers for really nailing it. Your attention to detail and creativity really added some special flare to our wedding. I’m in awe of your talent!
If you live in Chico, choose Lovely Layers for your event! You will not regret it.

Their cupcakes are wonderful. They catered our wedding and brought some cupcakes but also made a huge assortment of tarts and cookies as well. They did such a beautiful job with the display and were great to work with!

A friend of mine ordered a cake from here for my birthday and while it was beautifully decorated the flavor was blah. It was a white cake with raspberry filling. The cake was bland and lacked flavor and the icing tasted like shortening and sugar. I expected some vanilla flavor or something to balance the raspberry, but it was just a sugary sweet nightmare. It was really disappointing that such a beautiful cake ended up mainly in the trash. I’m giving 3 stars for the nice decorations. This is the only cake I’ve ever had from this bakery so maybe other flavors a better.

That was the easiest order I have ever made over the phone.
I ordered two dozen Frozen themed cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday on Friday (yes, this friday) and as easy as pie they took my order, I let them know when I would be picking up and that was that!
Now i just have to wait and see how they taste and how awesome their service is when i pick up on friday. I can’t wait to see what they look like! I trust they’ll be sparkly, blue and icey just as we would expect them to be for an ice queen!
Ill be sure to update my review once they are all devoured– With pictures!

Absolutely the best at what she does! Matches any picture to the cake you want and always supersedes expectations!

Emily has done a number of cakes for my family. Her gluten free options taste amazing and decoration skills amaze us every time!

Emily and Lovely Layers made my dream wedding cake come true! It was as beautiful as it was delicious. All of my wedding guests enjoyed the unique flavors we selected, which were: Strawberry Cheesecake Cake, Triple Chocolate Mocha, and White Cake with Raspberry for the top layer. If I lived in Chico I would be in her shop everyday! Thanks Emily!

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 Crème and a Lemon Custard of some sort.
All I can say was it was amazing! Super moist, and the butter crème frosting was heavenly, really light and the whole experience and every bit was delicious!

Delicious and beautiful cake for my baby shower. Matched the invitations perfectly. Decent price compared to other bakeries in town, and higher quality. Wish I would have known about this place sooner. Odd location, but really cute shop, Will definitely return next time I need a cake!

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! ;)
