Kaieteur News – As the holiday season captivates us with its light and warmth, we take a dive into a delightful conversation with the vibrant Shinessa Thompson; the creative genius behind Mimi’s Cupcakes and Cakes bakery.
Nestled in Friendship, East Bank Demerara, this home-based wonderland brings dreams to life in the form of delectable confections.
Shinessa’s journey into the world of cakes commenced in 2016, but it was in 2018 that she wholeheartedly launched Mimi’s Cupcakes and Cakes, pouring her passion and dedication into this flavorful venture.
But what ignited the spark? A cake decorating class initially meant for future family celebrations and the request of a friend that turned the wheels of entrepreneurship.
For Shinessa, running a business has been a lesson in commitment and courage.
“It’s about stepping out of your comfort zone,” she shares. Amidst the occasional anxieties, the journey has been remarkably rewarding, marked by the joyous smiles her treats bring to the faces of her customers.
Her menu boasts an enchanting array of delights: cakes and cupcakes in an array of flavors, pastries, cookies, cheesecake jars, and an assortment of treats that tantalize the taste buds.
The Cheesecake Brownie and the Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting steal the spotlight as favorites among patrons.
From birthdays to bridal showers, Mimi’s Cupcakes and Cakes cater to any event that craves a touch of sweetness. Shinessa has crafted treat tables for celebrations and has been a delightful participant at various events like the Women Expo 2022 and Mindful Bliss’s Business Launch Pop-up Shop in November 2023. 
She also keeps an eye out for the seasonal specials – Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Christmas!
While currently operating from the heart of her home, Shinessa’s long-term vision twinkles brighter than Christmas lights: a storefront café/bakery, beckoning customers with the aroma of freshly baked goods and the warmth of community.
Shinessa Thompson, a passionate cook and baker, juggles her role as an Office Administrator by day and a cake decorator by night.
Her journey started with her mom teaching her the art of cooking and baking, fostering a lifelong love for creating culinary wonders.
