Amy T. Sent on 09/22/2023Best bakery in town!
We wanted a very minimalist wedding cake to cut just for photos, and Skiff's was amazing! Beforehand, we picked up a cake tasting box from them which included samples of all the possible cake, filling, and frosting flavors. The ordering process was easy- We sat down with an employee, described the size we wanted, number of tiers, flavors, and emailed an inspiration photo for the design. The bakery quickly got back to us on final pricing based on the design. The pricing was reasonable and they delivered to the venue as well. About a week before the wedding, they called to confirm final details. Skiff's is definitely the go-to bakery in the Simi Valley area for special cakes for any occasion. Highly recommend this local business! -

I'm so glad I found Skiff's cakes for my wedding - they did an incredible job! The cakes and desserts are both absolutely delicious and gorgeously presented. I ordered a 3-tier wedding cake (Steve artfully arranged roses on it and it looked wonderfully romantic) as well as a variety of mini-desserts, and our guests were raving about how delicious it all was. Everyone at Skiff's was so helpful and personal with their service, and I'll be visiting again just to eat their desserts :) -

Not going to lie, Skiff's sold us with their cake tasting. What a great way to show off what you can do. We got to try their various cake flavors with a mix of creams, fillings and frostings.
Like most people, we love cake, but we're by no means cake experts, so being able to see and taste many of the options real time was amazing!
Steve was very flexible and told us to show him some cake styles we liked. We did, and our cake ended up looking gorgeous with a fun flair we gave him beforehand to add on top :). He also gave us very realistic estimates for how much dessert we would need for the number of guests we had, working within our budget while still assuring every sweet tooth was satisfied!
Because Skiff's Cakes has been working with all the venues in the area for decades, they know exactly how to make everything run smoothly on the day of, without us having to worry about anything. -

Erin Sent on 11/16/2017Skiffs is the best. period. I was blown away when I saw our wedding cake in person and it tasted even better than it looked! We also had sheets of brownies from them as well. I am not personally a huge sweets person and I dream about our cake. The staff is so amazing to work with and professional. Look no further if you're questioning going with skiffs or someone else. No one can beat Skiff's. I will be a life long customer!
Thank you so much!

User2406131 Sent on 11/02/2015This bakery was a lonnnng drive for us - but we are so glad that we found it and made the trip!! We knew that our wedding cake was going to be one of the areas where we had to save money, and Skiff's had very reasonable prices. However, we weren't expecting it to be the most cost effective option AND our favorite cake that we tried, too!! Seriously, for the price you can't do much better. I especially appreciated that, during the tasting, they give you a plate of 7 kinds of cake, next to 10 different piles of frosting, so you could mix and match and see which flavor combinations you like best. No other bakery that we'd been to did that! We ended up going with a yellow cake with chocolate frosting (yes... a chocolate frosted wedding cake! It was just the best frosting, period), as well as providing an assortment of cupcakes.
Skiff's was also able to accommodate our design wishes perfectly - we had a 'Legend of Zelda' themed cake table, with the Hyrulean symbol in fondant on one of the cake tiers, and 8-bit hearts and triforces topping the cupcakes. It looked better than we could've even envisioned! Thank you Skiff's for the amazing wedding cake - it was one of the hits of the evening!! -

Stephanie Sent on 11/03/2015Skiffs was wonderful!! The price was just right and the cake was so beautiful and delicious! I wanted "pearls" and "flowers" and she brought them to life exactly how I imagined them and within my budget! They delivered my cake to the venue for us and I never even saw them come in or leave. Thanks Skiffs for wonderful service!!! -

I dont have much to compare them to since I've never bought a cake from a baker before, but Skiff's was terrific the whole way through. The biggest thing I can say about them is that they are one of the only places that still offers regular iced cakes, instead of the fondant, which we didn't want. They can practically do anything with icing, too.
We choose a fairly basic style of 3 round tiers with a sort of stucco icing design, but the cool part was that they did an ombre effect on it, which my husband LOVED.
The price was pretty average for what I was finding, but it was the easiest part of the wedding! They delivered it on time, with no issues, and it was SOOOOOOO GOOD!! Their cakes are absolutely amazing and ours was no different.
