Skiffs Cakes made my wedding cake and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Steve took the time to go over every detail, making sure my vision and logistics were perfectly aligned. He was kind, organized, and extremely knowledgeable, which made the planning process stress-free. The delivery was seamless, and everything went exactly as promised. I also loved that they offer sampler boxes with a variety of cake, filling, and icing samples, which made choosing flavors both fun and easy! The cake turned out beautiful and absolutely delicious. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Still 5 stars but had to mention I got a custom cake here for my birthday. Honestly the work they do for the price is some of the best in the area. I remember getting my 16th birthday cake here as a kid and it's so cool still being able to patron a local business who continues to do such incredible work.
Skiff is a little gem that you hope does not get so big and popular, it will loose the unique magic. This bakery does beautiful work. I was asked to order a cake for a Retirement celebration. Ordering a large cake for a grand celebration put a lot of pressure on me. Costco is nice and the pricing is great, but it lacks the wow factor that I wanted for this special celebration. We had co-workers that were retiring after over 20 years of service, one retiree had over 50. So this cake had to be spectacular in looks and taste. After researching and reading many reviews, I decided to stop by and speak with Skiff to see what they offered. The minute you walk into their quaint bakery, it definitely felt unique and warm. Speaking with the gal behind the counter who assisted me in answering all my questions on the cake, pricing and decorations to make the cake look very classy and have the wow factor. I wanted whipped cream for the frosting, but was concerned that it might be too soft. I have had whipped cream that has a marshmallow texture and is not too sweet. This is exactly what was given to me to taste test. It was delicious. Since this was going to be for about 50 co-workers, we decided on a white cake, fresh strawberry, custard Bavarian cream with whipped cream. The decoration was subtle and classy with touches of gold and white chocolate as decoration on the cake. I decided to order cupcakes to bring home to try their flavors. Each cupcake was unique and so delicious. So I knew the cake was going to be amazing. Picking up the cake, they helped me to my car and ensured the cake was not going to slide around through the drive. How thoughtful. And of course, the cake did not disappoint. They had white shaved chocolates with gold touches to look like flowers in the corners of the cake. It was stunningly beautiful, classy and just so delicious. This is an amazing, unique wholesome bakery. I just hope they stay small, personable and special. I would highly recommend ordering any baking needs from Skiff's Cakes. You will not be disappointed and will have a wow factor for your guest to enjoy during any special occasion or gathering. Or even taking a dozen cookies or cupcakes to any gathering. They will up any spread to compliment both visually and taste that all will appreciate and enjoy. Thank you Skiff!! I am so glad that I have discovered a bakery that I can rely on for any bakery needs that I will need for the future. Attaching a picture of the cake but erased the names for privacy purposes. The picture does not justify the wow factor of this cake.
We ordered our wedding cake and dessert assortment from Skiff's Cakes. All I can say is Wendy and Steve were an absolute joy to work with. They gave us exactly what we wanted - a simple beautiful cake that was delicious and a variety of desserts that everyone could enjoy. During the reception, I had several people tell me how delicious everything was. Thank you Wendy and Steve for making our day even more special and delicious.
Everything from this bakery is delicious. The cakes they make are really, really good decorated beautifully and taste marvelous. Excellent service.
They made a delicious wedding cake, with just the look I wanted, at a very reasonable price. Everyone loved it!
We cannot say enough nice things about our experience with Skiff's! Their kindness, communication, dependability, and attention to detail truly made our wedding cake spectacular. Highly recommend if you are looking for a delicious and beautiful cake. This was by far the most reasonably priced option we found, and the best tasting experience that allowed us to customize our cake.
They nailed it ! My daughter's cake was a beautiful and so good ! The service was amazing so friendly ! The young girl jaz was really sweet thank you for making my daughters bday 100 times better
favorite cupcake that we tried.. Marshmallow .. the one that looks like a hostess cupcake . I liked their strawberry & raspberry fillings . Whipped vs buttercream (my taste) their buttercream is actually very good, it's just not " my thing ". Pre order : So far everyone in town that has anything to do with weddings has recommended Skiffs to us for our big day. After meeting with one of the ladies asking questions getting advice what will hold up in travel , heat etc . I am heeding the warnings & recommendations of Skiffs staff. Due to us having a very small intimate wedding , we decided on nixing the formalities with a wedding cake top to be saved an eaten on our first anniversary. Tradition is good , but it won't work with my taste . I prefer whipped cream to butter cream filling and icing but a july wedding will see a whipped cream cake turn into a pile of spoiled separated mush , nor will that hold up for a year in the freezer & thawing, so we are opting out of an official wedding cake on wedding day and will order a small cake on our first anniversary to be eaten fresh. The restaurant we are having a small dinner at is offering desert with our menu so our guests will still receive desert and we get a fresh cake on our 1year anniversary . See you next July for my order .
Skiffs created an absolutely stunning cake for my mom's 70th birthday! Not only was it beautifully designed, but it was also incredibly delicious (we went with red velvet, and it was perfect). I gave them only a vague idea of what we were envisioning, and they brought it to life even better than I imagined. My mom was over the moon -- it truly made her day extra special. On top of that, the pricing was more than fair for the quality and artistry. Thank you, Skiffs, for your talent and care!
We got married in June 2025 and are so happy we chose Skiff's Cakes for our cake and dessert table! The cake was absolutely beautiful and looked better than we imagined when describing it! It also tasted incredible! We got the banana chocolate on one tier and the white cake with strawberry cream for the other tier, and they were delicious and moist! We got a ton of compliments, and know some of our guests were following servers around trying to get more! And the mini desserts were so good! We got a larger package than we needed and have been enjoying our leftovers! We definitely want to go back for their desserts whenever we have a sweets craving! They were also so easy to work with, and we really appreciated that the cake and filling options were deconstructed during our tasting so we could try different combinations. Thank you Skiffs for the tastiest cake and desserts!
This is the place to be if you need a cake, pastry or dessert! They made my wedding cake a week and a half ago and it was absolutely gorgeous tasted delicious and exceeded all of my expectations! The customer service is incredible. I will definitely be a returning customer for my next special occasion and whenever I need a sweet treat! Thank you Skiffs!!

I absolutely LOVE this family bakery cake shop!! The cupcakes are so delicious, that we drive from Valencia to Simi Valley for them!! If you want to pick them up on the weekend, I would definitely place an order 24 hours in advance, otherwise it's first come, first serve and they get busy! I think you can also order online. The cupcakes are always fresh, and the proportion of icing to cake is perfect! The brownies are pretty fab too. read more

I had a really disappointing experience at this place. I ordered a cake for my son's birthday two weeks ago, and unfortunately, it was a total letdown. The frosting was extremely sweet, so much so that the kids couldn't even eat it. Several guests also commented on how overly sweet it was. While the decoration was decent, the flavor was honestly terrible. I would not recommend buying a cake from here, it's a waste of money and can easily ruin a special celebration. Unfortunately I did not have time to go back and returned the horrible cake so they can try it and taste it how bad was it. read more

I had a birthday party for my wife and wanted a really special cake for the occasion, I was told to look into Skiff's in Simi Valley and let me tell you it was a real pleasure to work with them. We sat down with Steve and he informed me of the variety of cake flavors, fillings and frostings as well as how they can decorate for any occasion. Not only did the cake look fabulous, what an incredible taste! The marble cake was light and flavorful and the raspberry filling flavorful but not grossly sweet with the butter cream frosting bringing it all together. So many compliments from our guests on how delicious the cake was with several going back for seconds. But let me talk to you about the decorating and coloring of the cake, Steve and his team took a photo of the flatware and napkin color theme and used that as their color palette. The detail was incredible and so well done I didn't want to slice it up. Thank you for making the occasion not just tasty but artistic. When we came in to order the cake we picked up some of their other delicious treats and let me tell you ALL were delicious as well. So if you want an incredibly delicious bakery for your upcoming event or just want to pick up a cake or pastries to enjoy at home Skiff's Bakery is your place. I will continue to return to Skiff's for future excellent cakes and pastries and cupcakes to complete our future events. Well done Skiff's! Ciao read more

I am so so so happy with how my sons cake turned out for his first birthday. My mom was the one who called to place the order and I told her what I wanted, which was the sunglasses theme from the invite on the cake. My mom initially spoke with Steve about making the cake. Wendy then confirmed the order with my mom and Omar suggested the ombré of colors around the cake as well as the palm trees in frosting. Such great service from start to finish, the cake turned out even better than i could have imagined and it was so delicious. I think we may have found our new bakery for all of our cake needs. Thank you, Skiffs ! You made my sons first birthday cake, one to remember ! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Skiffs Cakes! From the service to the flavors, everything was absolutely top notch! For my wedding, I ordered a combination of cake and cupcakes. The cake was a beautiful 3 tier cake with different flavors in each tier. My husband is from Costa Rica so he absolutely LOVES coffee, so we picked a cappuccino filling for one cake and a coffee cupcake to pair it with. Both were absolutely delicious! I'm from Santa Paula, (the lemon capital of the world!) so of course I picked a lemon poppy cake and Steve recommended a lemon cupcake to pair it with, which was an excellent choice. And who doesn't love chocolate? So we also did a beautiful red velvet cake with cookies and cream filling which paired with some delicious red velvet cupcakes. Everything was super tasty and I'm definitely ordering from there again! Wendy's artwork on the cake was also beautiful! Got many compliments from guests. Steve's flower arrangement really tied the whole thing together and I'm just so happy I found them! Definitely recommend Skiff's Cakes! 10 out of 10! read more

Skiffs is a little bakery in central Simi that always exceeds expectations. We catered a bunch of their pastries for our baby shower a couple years ago and they were a big hit. This month we were in a rush to find a last minute baker for our daughter's birthday cake. They exceeded expectations with the cutest cake and for such a fair price. I love them and will always bring my business here. read more
