Skiff's Cakes

Nothing to complain about here. Skiff's makes cakes into anything you want at a reasonable price for any occasions. It is not a bakery where you could find pastries. They only focus on cakes and cake design so they are not distracted with other things.

Skiff's was great. Although our wedding was in Studio City, they still delivered the cake from Simi Valley, no problem. Cake was delicious, staff was very friendly, helpful, and VERY flexible. They gave us great advice and were really helpful in the whole process.

I loved that they had some non-traditional designs to show us (soo not a white-on-white bride, though they do have beautiful cakes for those types of brides too). We picked out one at first, then came across another picture online that they were able to mimic. They even let us choose colors from one of those pantone color guides, to try to get the colors as close as possible to what we wanted on the cake. We took a risk with the colors and while were 97% happy with the way the colors came out (which I am sure is our fault and not theirs). The only thing I was a little unhappy with was where the flowers were placed on the cake. I had asked that one dahlia (from the florist) be placed on the side of one of the tiers, but when I looked at the cake all of them were on top. No big deal, though, my day-of-coordinator was able to fix it.

Cake was good, but unfortunately we didn't get a slice of the flavors we wanted (they were all passed out to the guests prior to ours), so I am planning on going back to make sure I get some yummy spice cake and that my husband can get his chocolate with raspberries!

I highly recommend Skiff's cakes. When I called to make an appt. they were very flexible on days and times. I brought a picture that I had found in a magazine and fallen in love with. Steve explained that while they use buttercream instead of fondant, they could definitely duplicate the look of the cake. The cake itself was delicious ... I had originally thought that we were going to pick something like chocolate or red velvet, but our forks kept going back to the white cake with fudge buttercream filling. As a side note, my friends ordered a cake for my bridal shower from Skiff's, without knowing that that was where the wedding cake was from and picked the red velvet, which was definitely my second choice. I have to say on the day of the wedding, they did not disappoint. The cake was beautiful and just like the picture! And even though we had over ordered on the cake in order to comfortably save the top layer - every bit of the other layers were eaten. In the end we didn't end up saving the top layer, it was way too tempting sitting in the fridge the next day. Even my mother, who is very traditional, got out her fork when we opened the cake box. I found the price to be very reasonable incomparison with other vendors I had looked at and they definitely delivered what they had committed to. We look forward to ordering a cake next year with them to celebrate our first anniversary!

If you are looking for a beautiful wedding cake that not only looks good but tastes great, go to Skiff's! They did an excellent job on my wedding cake! It was so beautiful and I was so happy with the way it turned out! I would recommend the white cake with rasberry and lemon chiffon! DELICIOUS! I was so glad we had some leftover cake for the next day!

Our cake from Skiff's was absolutely beautiful and well-made. They were very helpful every step of the way, from our tasting to the final product. The cake was delicious and exactly as we wanted.I took off a star for professionalism because they lost the details from our tasting (good thing we remembered what flavor and filling we decided on, as well as the cake design).I took off a star for value because the designs on the cakes were extra charge, and we didn't know that till a week before the wedding. (Our venue has a relationship with skiff's so we were charged by the slice and didn't know there were add-on's). But knowing other bakeries all charged extra for this stuff, we were not surprised (flower designs on cake).We had absolutely no problem getting them to make a cake for a small wedding. We had a 3-tier cake for a 115-ppl wedding and it was beautiful.

Delicious!! On time!! Everyone loved the cake.

Most beautiful cake i have ever seen. As soon as I saw this cake in there catalog I knew they need to do my cake for my wedding. And on our special day it was 100x more beautiful then I could have ever imagined. They were so fairly priced and accommodating. I recommend them to everyone.

Skiffs did a wonderful job on my wedding cake. I was amazed by the work they did on the outside-it was so pretty!! I got the chocolate with vanilla in the middle and it was fantastic-i received a lot of compliments! The white cake with strawberry mousse was excellent also-which was my bottom tier-yummy!! Skiffs is also great to work with very friendly and accomodating!

Super yummy!!!!! When we went there to try the cakes, the man who helped us was really great, informative, friendly, and patient. The cakes themselves were the best cakes we tried and surprisingly the least expensive. We were able to get a gorgeous cake for a super reasonable price. Above that, they followed through and showed up on time at the wedding with the cake looking fabulous. Not to mention it tasted ridiculously yummy!!! I would totally use them again and absolutely recommend them to someone else.

MMMMM! Delicious three teir cake and Skiff came out the day of my wedding to personally decorate my cake with roses. The first wedding I've been to where there was not a single crumb leftover! Even our cake topper was served and devoured. We'll be coming by for out top teir to celebrate our one year anniversary!

Skiff's made a beautiful wedding cake that was very moist & looked as though it had been covered in fondant, even though it was just buttercream frosting. They were about 5 minutes late delivering the cake, and it was a little too sweet for my tastes, but otherwise a very good vendor.

I picked Skiff's after the review on here and word-of-mouth from two different people. The cake was beautiful, delicious, and EXACTLY what I wanted it to be. I only regret that I didn't get more of it. :-( Make sure you eat some of this delicious cake!

We loved our wedding cake! The design I chose from their book was gorgeus and it looked just like it on our wedding day! BEAUTIFUL! It was delicious too and everyone enjoyed it. Steve at Skiff's was so pleasant to work with. The tasting was a quick, easy, and yummy experience.

Disspointed with service and attention when working with them to plan cake.

We LOVE Skiffs!!!!! Simply the tastiest cakes in the area and we use them for all of our special events.

Skiff's was recommended to me by several people who live nearby so I am grateful and compelled to pass it on. Even though we live in Santa Monica, we didn't mind making the trip to Simi Valley one bit. It's so worth it! Plus, if it's your wedding cake they deliver. It truly is the most delicious cake I have ever tasted! My husband and I got married last month and I must say that the cake tasting was definitely the highlight of wedding planning. We tried this place and that place but when we went to Skiff's, that was it. The cakes are a perfect consistency, light but flavorful, moist but not heavy, just heaven! The fillings are amazing! I highly recommend the rasperry, bavarian cream and lemon chiffon. Don't even start me on the red velvet with cream cheese, it's a taste sensation! And the people at Skiff's, they were so warm and friendly. You really just get a good feeling from them and are happy to support such a quality local business.Our wedding cake looked as good as it tasted. It was beautiful. They really listen to what you want and make it happen. I really couldn't have asked for anything better. Our wedding guests raved about how delectable the cake was. I'm not kidding, it really was that good. My husband and I joke that we want to have another wedding or special event just so we can get another Skiff's cake. We actually froze our top layer to eat at our one year anniversary but we'll see if it makes it that long.

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with Skiff's Cakes. We had an apointment for a cake tasting at 4pm. Due to serious traffic, we were late and arrived at 4:25. (bt we called to let them know we would be late) After apologing to the owner, he said it's okay but he needs to be finished by 5pm to make a delivery. We were told to look through their albums of wedding cake pictures and pick out what design we wanted. I told him I had some ideas of my own and wanted to get his thoughts on them. He said to look a the books and he would be back. At this point,about 6 customers came in to pick up cakes and he proceeded to help carry out cakes for each customer while we sat there with no cake to taste and no questions answered. I had to ask him if he had the cake to taste and he said oh yes, ran to the kitchen and returned with a styrofoam box of cake and icings. He told us what the flavors were, pointed at a list on the desk and said if you forget here is a list of the flavors. Then he said we could take the cake home to taste. (I took that as a hint that he wanted us o ut of there) He then rattled of prices then admitted he was hesitant to deliver to our venue due to it's precarious location. If that was the case, why not tell us that we made an appointment for the tasting?!?!? I tried to show him pictures of cakes I found in magazines and he said they were just for show, not really practical wedding cakes. At no point did he sit down with us. He was standing as if to run out the door the whole time. He left us to go do his delivery and said if we had any questions we could ask the girl at the counter.

What a waste of our time! And very unprofessional and not willing to be creative.

I brought in a picture of what I wanted our cake to look like and they did it exactly as I had imagined. And it tasted amazing! Everyone kept going back for more through out the reception and we had none left by the end of the night. I have referred many people to Skiff's for any and all cakes they might need.

From the design to the flavors, our wine-themed cake was a huge hit! Working from the very rough sketch we provided, Skiff’s took our vision and brought it to life just as we’d imagined. I definitely recommend them!

perfect beautiful cake! looked and tasted amazing at an affordable price!

We had a three layer cake top and bottom carrot cake, and middle chocolate cake, it was the tastiest thing I have ever eaten, and the beauty of it was UNREAL!!! I look forward to our one year so I can get another cake!!

I found Skiff's Cakes through a friend as they did not show up on most Los Angeles bridal lists. They by far had the most delicious cakes to taste and were very affordable. We really wanted champagne cake, which not many bakeries carry, but they had the absolute best. We went home from our wedding with some leftover cake and I cannot tell you how enjoyable it was to eat it when we got home and for breakfast the next morning. I will go back there for our first anniversary to get a small cake to celebrate for sure!

We had a very positive experience at the cake testing/design session. The cake was made and delivered as promised. Quality is exceptional. Great attention to detail.

Skiff's is the Best! The cake was absolutely beautiful, moist and the filling and frostings were delicious. Everyone at the wedding was going back for seconds!Steve will work with you in any way possible. They are totally dependable.

We did a cake tasting at Skiff's and we were really impressed! The cake was moiwst and delicious. They ended up being a bit out of our price range, but you should definitely check them out!

So so so very RUDE! We are having a smaller wedding (120 people) and plan on also serving homemade desserts and in turn asked for a smaller wedding cake. 2 tiers and with elaborate fondant decoration. I also was planing on ordering a grooms cake that would have been for 120 people. Not a tiny order, but I understand not huge. I was told that they are "too busy" and "too popular" to "fill our ovens and racks with dinky fake wedding cakes and sheet cakes." Also I was told that since we were not ordering at least a "real wedding cake" they would not deliver it. Again flatly told "we're too busy for this". I decided to use another vendor. Who was lovely, respectful, and polite.

Okay. 2 weeks later and we are STILL getting emails about how amazing the cake tasted :-) People kept coming up to me the night of our wedding and raving about the cake.

The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wanted a white cake with a simple line of black ribbon around the bottom of each tier. For some reason, they tied the end of the ribbon into bows on each level (so I had 1 black bow on each tier). It looked fine, but I'm not really a bow kinda girl. However, it all worked out fine. Everyone loved the taste of the cake and honestly, I'm probably the only one who noticed the bows :-)

Their cake is the best I've ever tasted. And they couldn't be nicer or more helpful. If having a wedding was something one does every year, I would use them every time.

All I have to say is wow! That cake was pictured perfect, wonderfully full of flavor and everyone and I mean everyone made a comment about how wonderful the cake was in every way.Highly recommended

Skiff's is wonderful!!!! Their cakes taste great and they were very dependable. You can tell they love what they do and that seems to make all the difference. Highly, highly recommend Skiff's!

Skiff's did a great job with our cake. It came on time, looked exactly how we discussed and tasted AMAZING. Definitely will use Skiff's again for special occasions!

Yummy, yummy, yummy!!!! This is hands down the best cake that I have ever had. Even my husband, who hates cake, loved this! They have many flavors to choose from. It was hard to decide what to choose!

The cake was delicious and beautiful. The price was reasonable and they were very professional. We didn't have to worry about a thing. I highly recommend this vendor.

This bakery is amazing! Their cakes are to die for! We get these cakes for every occasion possible, including work functions! Everything I have tried is great, and I am not a cake person at all, as a matter of fact my favorite part is the chocolate and white chocolate shavings on top!

The staff at Skiff's Cakes is extremely nice, sincere and attentive to all your needs. The cake was delicious. Everyone at the wedding was talking about how moist the cake was and how delicious the fillings were.

Skiff's is awesome. It was incredibly convenient to have our wedding cake maker in Simi as the reception was in Camarillo. I believe the beautiful cake we received would have cost at least twice as much in a Los Angeles bakery. We chose their white cake with chocolate and raspberry filling, it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! You get more than what you pay for!

Amazing cake! We got so many compliments on the look AND taste of our wedding cake! My husband and I really enjoyed the cake tasting beforehand and played around with the different combinations. I would highly reccoment skiffs for any occasion!

YUM! My wedding cake tasted and looked exactly how I wanted! Out of all the Ventura County bakeries, Skiff's had the best prices for the flavors/look we designed and it arrived on time on the big day. Our guests raved it was the best cake they ever had! No regrets at all and worth every calorie! :)

The best wedding cake we have ever had! After enjoying a piece of wedding cake at a friend's wedding, we just had to know the baker. Skiff's Cakes is now being used to create the wedding cakes of 3 couples who attended OUR wedding. It is a phenomenal cake. Great recipe, rich, fresh, and moist... They make all the cakes fondant smooth WITHOUT the use of fondant. The best cake ever, and a great business to work with. The cake was delivered promptly, safely, and ready-to-go.

I found a picture of a cake that I liked but there were a few things I wanted to change. I sent Steve the picture and we discussed how to modify it. The cake turned out beautifully. Steve and his wife perfectly dupliated the intricate flower design that I loved and made the changes that I wanted. They were great to work with and I'd definitely recommend them.

The cake was absolutely delicious! The price was reasonable and they were very professional. We didn't have to worry about a thing. They worked with my florist to get the cake decorated the day of the wedding and everything was exactly as we wanted it to be.

The cake was delicious and beautiful. I highly recommend this vendor.
