Valley Bakery

This bakery is not closed! They closed their store front, and are now operating out of a commercial kitchen but you can still order cakes from them and they will deliver the cake to you! These are the best cakes in the area in my opinion. They were somehow connected to Pluskos when I was a kid which is the only place my Mom ever got me cakes for my birthdays and this was in the late 70s. I now get cakes for my kids and on special occasions from them and they are just as good as ever. My favorites are chocolate cake with banana cream filling and whipped cream frosting OR white cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream frosting. Dont let the closed information fool you, its only because they closed their store front but they are still in business and the phone number has not changed.

The most awesome custom Halloween cookies. (royal iced cookies) You must try their cheese rolls (quesito) And the sweet bread, pan dulce, is fabulous. They also make custom cakes for any occasion. Everything is homemade in the store. They are located on the side of Oak Park Shopping Center, beside the Johnny Gyro, karate studio. I highly recommend this bakery.

How do you take the pain out of getting one year older? By having your cake and eating it too, but only if that cake comes from Valley Bakery! I thought remembrances of delish white cake, champagne custard with whipped cream frosting birthday cakes of long ago from Plusko’s in Canoga Park were now just a fond memory of things never to be again. But fortunately, after some internet detective work, those memories are once again a yearly tradition for me and well worth traveling from Santa Clarita to recapture the yumminess that can only be summed up in the words ‘Valley Bakery’, oh, and of course the word YUM! :))

What a great find! I went in on advice of a friend. I was in the area dropping my daughter off to see a friend and needed to buy a birthday cake for my husband. I got a whipped cream chocolate vanilla cake with chocolate chips with custard filling. Everyone at the party loved it!!! I will definitely make the twenty mile drive back to Valley Bakery in the future!

Valley Bakery created an amazing Ariel bday cake for my daughter! Tasted as good as it looked!

This may seem biased because in fact my sister owns this bakery, so I’ll just get that out of the way up front. The truth is this place has been around for nearly 60 years for a reason. It is the best. I worked here when I was 14 years old (alongside my sis who loved it so much that nearly a decade later she became the owner) and to this day it’s the only cake I like. White cake with Fresh Strawberries and custard filling with Whipped Cream icing is hands down my favorite.
The baked goods and cakes include recipes that have been passed down from generations as well as innovative and customized treats. Carisa can create pretty much anything you can think of on a cake, from whimsical to elegant designs. She also will work with you to accommodate special needs off menu; food allergies, dietary restrictions… She will find a way to make what you need deliciously.
This is a family run operation that cares about its clients and puts 110% into each and every order. I highly recommend it.
Oh and the Delcos… Mmmmmm so good!!!

Carissa is amazing! I showed her a picture to use as inspiration, I had no clue she would be able to replicate it perfectly! All of the guests were in awe.

Valley Bakery has made many cakes for me over the past year. My friends and I thought they were the best ever! Not only were they beautiful, but delicious as well! Try the champagne custard & strawberry filling or the choc chip — out of this world!

Valley bakery is by far the most amazing bakery I’ve been to. I was extremely satisfied with the cake they made for my sons birthday. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a cake.
Their customer service is always friendly. They always have a smile and are always in a good mood.
Regardless of what other reviews say about them, go in and have ur own experience. They really are great at what they do and overall they are family owned. Ur not dealing with a retail/​grocery store that won’t remember u and ur just another WALK-​IN.

Seriously one of my favorite places. There sweet breads are the best around. Made from scratch every day. But the real winner is their banana cream pie. They made one for me fresh today! I’m a stickler for bcp and this is the top of my charts!

I ordered 2 rum cakes with them for $ 45 each. Not satisfied with the cakes though. Cookies are good to buy from them.

Great family run business that makes great fare. The cakes are excellent. Not cheap but worth it.

EXCELLENT! Thank you for making the exact cake I wanted. Not only did it look amazing but the 40+ guests and I all raved about how deliscious the cake was! The red velvet layer was to die for and the marble with chocholate pudding filling was also a hit. Thank you so much again for a wonderful cake and excellent customer service. This was my first cake from Valley Bakery but definately not my last!

The day before Fathers Day I called Valley Bakery. I was in a pinch, as they were closed the next day so I had to order a cake and pick it up the same day. I ordered a rum custard white cake for my dad. When they told me it would only take 15 – 20 minutes, (it was a small cake) I decided to also order a champagne custard white cake for my friend’s party.
Valley Bakery was super pleasant on the phone, helping me create my custom cakes and asked how I wanted to decorate each cake. I did a simple «happy father’s day» message for my dad’s cake, hoping to mislead him with such a basic cake which was filled with rum soaked custard. YUM!
For my friend’s party, which was a puppy shower. I asked Valley Bakery to also keep it simple, just with a «Congratulations!» with paw prints. It came out wonderfully!
Thanks to Valley Bakery for helping me pull off great cakes with such fancy custard fillings!
My only tip is if you get the custard cake, get the whipped cream frosting. You don’t want anything overshadowing the custard filling. The whipped cream frosting is the perfect combination with the rum or champagne custard fillings!
(also, they can make Puerto Rican sponge cake with either Rum or Amaretto. Please order several days ahead due to special ingredients and prep time)

My guests said our wedding cake was the most delicious cake EVER. If that doesn’t say how I feel about Valley Bakery… YUM!!! We ordered the chocolate and vanilla cake combo with chocolate chip custard and whipped cream frosting. It was AMAZING!!! Our wedding was outdoors and since the cake wasn’t going to be refrigerated after delivery, we asked Valley Bakery to deliver it frozen. They delivered it frozen around 2:30pm and by 8:00pm it was PERFECT! Such an accommodating team and a really lovely family owned business. Will be ordering cakes from them for years to come… DELICIOUS!

I ordered a cake at the last minute for my wife’s birthday and to date this would be the worst cakes i would have had. There was just loads of whipped cream with a hard bottom and very very dry. Believe me this place was bad, I would have rather they said that they dont have cakes instead of giving me this. They were super expensive as well.

Not impressed with the inventory of what I saw in the display case when I stopped by. Over priced Mexican bread– really? It was so outrageously over priced! Heck, one can go to Oxnard and purchase multiple pieces at any of the bakery stores there for the price of one at this Valley Bakery. The tiny pastries looked cute and I probably would have bought some. They probably have great cakes too, but I’ll never know. I didn’t buy anything because no one came out to greet me even though I could hear friendly banter coming from the rear of the store! Psst… Hey folks– maybe y’all need to consider replacing the bells hanging on your front door with some sort of sensor that sounds/​rings whenever a «potential» customer– like me– that walks through the door. Also, beef up your signage around the parking lot area. We are new to the area and only discovered you by happenstance. I’m sure I’ll return… some day.
My 2 Cents,

When I was a kid, my mom would take me to Plusko’s on TO blvd for tea cookies. When I had a bad day or she wanted to surprise me, I’d get to go pick out a little pink box filled with these tasty cookies. When I was in my early 20’s I realized that they also make delicious cakes! I started getting chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and filling every year for my birthday. It’s $ 30 for an 8 inch round, which isn’t an unreasonable price in my opinion.
We had their cookies at our wedding ceremony in June of 2011.
We went to pick up my birthday cake this year at their new location. The new storefront was kind of hard to find and definitely out of the way in a strip mall in Oak Park. I miss the old TO blvd location. It had charm. I was unimpressed with the setup in the new location, but the cake was still delicious.
Customer service has been hit or miss since the new owners took over and changed the name to Valley Bakery from Plusko’s but the product is still delicious, so I’m satisfied.

Ok, the cakes are good… but the customer service, yuck! My son’s 6^th birthday was almost ruined because they totally disregarded my order. My husband showed up at their hoaky little set up of meeting someone in front of their «future» store front in Oak Park (this has been going on for a year, c’mon). He called as instructed, and finally after 45 minutes and 15 calls, he was told they have no Mickey cake and was questioned if an order was even placed. Long story short, spent 2 ½ hours prior to
the party frantically looking for a cake. Do yourself a favor and go to Albertson’s.

I hesitate to write a review because it’s only based on cookies and service… but oh well.
My mother-​in-​law and I had a few tasty cookies from Valley Bakery a couple of days ago. We were looking for an artisan BREAD bakery in the area and landed here without realizing it’s more of a pastry shop — no bread. They had some dinner rolls and savory filled breads (somewhere along the lines of calzones).
The girl working the counter was super friendly.
