    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.

    Macaroons (Rose, lemon, blueberry), lemon bar, blonde, chocolate pie, strawberry cheesecake bite.

    My son picked up our small yule log cake from Skiff's and it's absolutely beautiful! Service is A+!!! So grateful to have this wonderful bakery in our neighborhood.

    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.

    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.

    wedding cake samples tripple vanilla, strawberry cheesecake and marshmallow (the hostess cc looking one)
    Bonnie G.

    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 .

    Custom red velvet cake

    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!

    My beautiful wedding cake!

    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!!

If you go in summer do not skip the Japanese ice, The ice is flown in from Japan, and I had the strawberry. It was absolutely delicious--light, delicate, and incredibly refreshing. It's a special seasonal treat you won't want to miss. I also took a picture of the Matcha ice. I purchased the strawberry ganache pastry and also got a Matcha ice drink to go on ice. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. I also always appreciate a self-serve water station that's so pretty and maintained. Every aspect of Le Hérisson is so elevated, beautiful, and thoughtfully curated. My only little suggestion would be to consider putting the more delicate pastries, like the raspberry ganache I ordered, in a small box rather than a paper bag. Something this beautiful deserves to arrive looking just as beautiful--and mine unfortunately got a little smooshed on the takeout What an amazing hidden treasure to have right here in Simi Valley.

It reminded me of a margherita pizza, and I will definitely be ordering it again.

It definitely did not disappoint! The restaurant itself is super cute, with both indoor and outdoor seating available and awesome music playing throughout the café, which creates such a fun and lively atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and worked hard to keep up with the morning crowd, all while greeting everyone with a smile. One suggestion: Le Harisson should showcase their drinks more because the Iced Chocolate Blend deserves way more attention. Highly recommend! They also have a great variety Matcha and Japanese Teas MUST TRY!

I also got the chocolate chip cookie and omg! Really enjoyed it! It wasn't hard or too soft.
