Mindy is incredible! Our wedding changed in scope and location due to the pandemic and Mindy helped us replan our wedding weekend desserts! The change in venue required us to drive the cakes quite a distance. She was so helpful in planning how ...

Mimi’s created us such a beautiful wedding cake. Not only was it gorgeous and everything I ever wanted, it tasted amazing. Mindy was amazing to work with!
Mindy is amazing and makes incredible cake - we had multiple compliments on how delicious it was on the day and the days following. My husband is not a cake person AT ALL and after trying her cakes it was something he was seriously so looking f...
orward to having on the day, so I think that speaks for itself. She was so easy to communicate with and the whole process was so smooth for us. We will definitely be coming back for more of Mindy's cake in the future!
Our wedding cake, grooms cake, and cupcakes were amazing! I still have people talking about the cake at our wedding! I loved all of the flavors, but my absolute favorite was Mindy's signature cake!

Mindy is so nice and helpful! Her pricing is very reasonable. Her cakes are delicious! All of my guests were raving about it!! It was so beautifully decorated, I couldn’t imagine it any better!
Mindy is so amazing to work with. After the first meeting my husband and I knew that she was going to be our baker. We couldn't decide on just a few flavors so we had 3 types of cupcakes and 3 types of cake pops. She was able to create the imag...
e I had in my head of how I wanted our cake table to look like and bring it to life. The cake is the best cake you will ever eat. I have given her information to so many friends and family members. Will continue to go to Mindy for all future cake orders.

It was beautiful and even larger than we pictured. We received so many compliments from our guests about how delicious the cake was as well. Thanks for making our wedding cake just perfectly!
Mindy was great to work with! The cake was breathtaking. She made a groom's cake that was so life like. Everyone raved about the cakes and how tasty it was! The strawberry almond is amazing!

Andrea, thank you for the nice (and fast!) review! I'm so glad you loved your cakes...Andy's groom's cake was so fun!
Mindy was amazing to work with for our wedding in 2017! We had a hint of Disney added into our special day and I sent her some ideas for an UP themed cake! It turned out more amazing than I could have imagined! We froze our full cake and unfroz...
e it for our one year anniversary...a little scary...but the cake taste just as great as it did on our wedding day and still looked amazing!

I always recommend Mimi’s to my family and friends and I will continue to use Mimi’s for all our cake needs!

Thank you, Andrea!! You guys are such a sweet couple...it was a pleasure making your cakes!
Mindy, is amazing. I gave her a rough idea of how I wanted things set up. She came in and had it all done while I ran around getting everything ready for the wedding. Her work is amazing. Her cupcakes left so many of the guest asking who made t...
hem. Her work is beautiful, delicious, and reasonably priced! I would highly recommend her to anyone. Mindy has done all of our event cakes except for one and that’s because she was fully booked. She’ll go above your expectations and really add to your special day.

Thank you Miranda!
Working with Mindy was fabulous. She was so easy to work with and created my absolute DREAM wedding cake based off of my random combination of images. She made us a 5 tier wedding cake, with a combination of square and circle layers, and a comb...
ination of almond and chocolate marble layers. We enjoyed our top tier on our 1-year anniversary, and it still was great! We also had her make a chocolate groom's cake with a Cubs theme! Both cakes exceeded my imagination and were absolutely delicious! We are now over one year post-wedding and we still have guests raving about how beautiful yet phenomenal-tasting the cake was; most tell us it was the best cake they have ever had. I look forward to using Mimi's Sweet Cakes & Bakes for all of our future cake needs due to her ease to work with, creativity, and the delicious cakes that Mindy creates. I would recommend Mindy to any person looking for a wedding (or other) cake!
Response from the Vendor on 01/22/2019
Thank you Jillian!! It was a pleasure creating your cakes!
I had a vision of how I wanted my wedding cake and Mimi's created my exact vision! Everything about it was perfect, it surpassed my dream cake. I had so many compliments on it and looking back at the pictures I don't think I have ever seen a ...
cake more perfect. Not only was the cake great, but the communication and service leading up to the wedding was amazing. We also had sheet cakes of a variety of flavors and the guests LOVED them! I can't wait for my anniversary to enjoy the top tier!
Response from the Vendor on 01/22/2019
Kyrie, thank you for trusting me to make your dream wedding cake! I absolutely loved it and I'm so glad you did too!
As a mother of the bride and payer of the bills Mimi’s Cakes and Bakes did a phenomenal job. Our daughter requested all buttercream on a hot August day. The cake was gorgeous and tasted so good. The bride and groom selected layers with several ...
different flavors and our guests raved about both the beauty and the taste. The top layer was saved for their 1st Anniversary and was just as delicious as on their wedding day. I believe the cake was 6-7 layers tall. A definite show stopper. I have since ordered another special occasion cake.

Thank you Mary! See you soon!!
We got married in 2017 and had an excellent experience with Mimi’s! She is so talented in both taste and design. I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY with the final product! I would 110% recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing wedding cake!

Response from the Vendor on 01/22/2019
Thank you Tiffany!! See you this weekend for that 30th birthday cake!!
Mindy is INCREDIBLE! She did our wedding cake and it was STUNNING. I gave Mindy a photo of what I had envisioned and she nailed it. It looked better than the picture and the taste was out of this world. Guests were raving about the cake all nig...
ht and I still get compliments about it to this day. Not only is Mindy amazing when it comes to her cakes, she is absolutely wonderful to work with. She made the process so easy and fun. Wedding planning can be stressful but Mindy was the best part of our wedding. We are so thankful we found her! We will be Mimi's Sweet Cakes & Bakes lifers!

Alexis, thank you!! See you for that precious baby girl's 1st Birthday soon!! I can't wait to see what you have in store for me!!
After searching vigorously for the right cake vendor, we came across her website and saw that her aesthetic was the most refined and closest to what we were looking for. She was able to meet with us right away, was so easy to work with and we w...
ere very impressed with how her samples tasted. We chose her and are so thankful we did. The cakes were stunning! Not to mention, the taste we had at our first meeting didn't even do her cakes justice. I'm not even a huge fan of cake and I couldn't get enough! Guests raved about them and are still talking about it after the wedding. I would 100% recommend Mimi's for whatever event you need cake for. I will be a return customer for every occasion I have from now on.

Owner
Hi! I'm Mindy and I'm the owner of Mimi's Sweet Cakes & Bakes! A little about me...I'm married to a pretty awesome guy, Eric, and we have 3 kiddos-Lauren, Emma and Andrew. I started dabbling in cake decorating when Lauren turned a year old and I took a genuine interest in it. After years of friends and family telling me to make a career out of cakes, I did just that in the Spring of 2013! I work out of my home, in a (really pink!) separate kitchen that Eric built. I create beautiful and delicious cakes for all occasions, but I love, love, LOVE everything about wedding cakes!
