The Cake Barn

I can’t say enough amazing things about Donna. I sent her an email a week before my son’s birthday party to inquire about making a minecraft themed cake. Thank God she wasn’t booked that day. I sent her a picture of what I had in mind and she discussed the size of the cake and the different flavor options. We ordered marble covered with chocolate ganash and swiss meringue buttercream filling for 40. The day prior to the event, I received a text from her saying that the cake was complete, and if I want a «sneak peak.» I was so excited to see the picture. When she delivered the cake, I was blown away. It was bigger than I had imagined. She told me that only the top half was cake, and the bottom was like a foam board or something. I was surprised. She read my mind! I wanted a big cake but I knew it’d be too expensive so I didn’t ask… but she made it happen! My guests were impressed. They loved the cake. They loved the flavor. Donna is a cake Goddess. She is a mind reader. She is very personable. She has incredible talent.

I contacted Donna with very little notice to see if she could make a Star Wars cake for my son’s 6^th birthday. Boy oh boy did she come through! Not only did the cake exceed my expectations in the design department but it tasted amazing as well! Donna was so nice and professional and I could go on and on about the quality of her cakes. She will definitely be my go to baker for all of my events from here forward. Thanks Donna for making the awesome cake for Thomas, it was loved by all!

RAVE REVIEWS AGAIN!
I ordered a cake from Donna for a co-worker’s baby shower. I showed Donna a picture of a cake that I liked and voila! Another MASTERPIECE! From the moment they saw the cake they were in awe. Donna is true artist. No one wanted to cut into the cake, but once we took our first bite of the cake it was HEAVEN!
Thank you Donna! I’m pretty sure you’ll have new customers coming your way. :)

Again Donna came thru for my wedding. What can I say this woman has become an important part of our family. The cake was awesome! It just melt in your mouth. Love you Donna till my family’s event.

Pretty sure I looked at close to every bakery in town and no one stole the show like The cake barn. Donna was the only one who spoke to me and made me believe that the cake was gonna be gorgeous and it absolutely was! She made me a cake and cupcakes for my daughters 5^th birthday and on top of it looking beautiful it tasted amazing too! The hazelnut buttercream is to die for! It lasted all day outside too and looked perfect! Thank you so much for your beautiful work Donna!

I had my son Caleb’s 2^nd bday and Cake Barn made his cake. I had sent Donna a photo of the what I wanted (Disney Monsters Inc cake) and she did such an amazing job because it looked exactly how I wanted it. All my guest loved the cake. Donna goes above and beyond in cake creations. Thank you Cake Barn for making my son’s bday extra special.

I contacted Donna to see if she could re-​create a Disney style Cars themed cake I had found on pinterest. I sent her over a picture of the cake along with some details, and she replied back very promptly. It was easy communicating with her via email in regards to the details of the cake. I also asked if it would be possible to have her give us samples of her cake since we had never ordered from her before. She was super kind and allowed us to meet at her house to pick up samples. The samples were awesome and made us lock in the cake order.
She emailed me a picture of the cake the day before delivery to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. I really appreciate this, and I had no changes to be made as the cake was just what I wanted for my son’s birthday. She delivered the cake at our scheduled delivery time.
Thank you Donna for creating us a great cake that we got tons of compliments on at my son’s birthday party. Looking forward to the next cake you can make for us!

I contacted Donna for my daughter’s First Communion celebration. I had seen some cupcakes on her Unilocal reviews that looked really pretty and she knew exactly which ones I was referring to, gave me a very reasonable price on the 4 dozen and was available to meet with me ASAP. I had called the other specialty bake shops in town for quotes as well and they were more expensive for their standard cupcakes than what Donna quoted. Her very clean and organized home business smelled like cake heaven and I could only imagine amazing things coming from the cupcakes I was about to order. Donna was so pleasant, accommodating, and professional. She was able to rent me a tall cupcake stand and allowed me to take it home so that I could decorate it for my occasion. I emailed her a swatch of the napkin color from the venue and it was a dusty rose, so not too pink and not too mauve, and not too beige. She has such attention to detail that she was able to match the color exactly. She used 2 different sized pearl sprinkle toppings and that added dimension to the decoration. The pearls were not hard to chew at all, melted in your mouth. The raspberry mousse filling was delicious! The cupcakes were moist and very well balanced between the vanilla and the raspberry, not too sweet like most others that overwhelm your taste buds with sugar. The butter cream frosting was silky smooth also and I sandwiched it between my cupcake so I could take a bigger bite… HEAVEN IN MY MOUTH!!!
Everyone at the party raved over the cupcakes and all were saying the same things I just described. I would recommend The Cake Barn in Valencia to anyone looking to impress at a party or gathering, Donna is wonderful and I have full confidence that her baked goods are always going to be outstanding!

Donna made a beautiful work of art for our daughter’s second birthday. Is was so gorgeous I didn’t want to cut into it. Thanks to Donna’s amazing skills I was able to have a truly unique and delicious cake.

The cake barn is amazing… :)
Today was my little girl 1^st birthday. Don made beautiful beautiful cake for my daughter. she is very professional and she is very kind lady.
Price is very reasonable. Her design on cake is amazing. my family n friends n potographers are so shuck about a cake. They thought it was fake.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. Don
I’m really recommend cake barn.
She is so sweet. Thank You. Now every my familys birthday I’m coming to you to order cakes.

Cake barn seemed professional and nice at first. Until I told her that the cakes are out of my budget. I’m sorry but $ 6 a slice is a little overpriced in my book. I nicely said thank you but we will have to go with Hansen’s Cakes or Jamaica’s Cakes (both well established bakeries in Los Angeles) and she responded this. «Yes, grocery store cakes will always be less expensive than a custom cake. Good luck.» I couldn’t believe she wrote this and told her that it is unprofessional of her to bad mouth those establishments, especially considering who she’s talking about. Either she doesn’t know about these two famous bakeries or she has a lack of respect for them.
The cakes seem beautiful and the I’m glad people like them, but that doesn’t give you a right to make comments like that. As a business owner, you have a responsibility to maintain your professionalism in tact. $ 6 a slice for a one tier cake? Wow. Talk about an unreasonable markup.
Now I just received a message from her «apologizing» saying that her message was not meant that way. Oh and that by the way, it is inappropriate for me to review her since I am not a customer. The audacity of this business owner.

Donna is an amazing baker! I requested a Minnie Mouse cake and it turned out amazing! The cake did not only turn out looking perfect but the chocolate on chocolate mousse flavor was phenomenal! My guests and I loved the cake. The price of the cake was reasonable and Donna came to the party location right at the agreed time. I highly recommend Cake Barn and will definitely order from this company again!

I couldn’t be more pleased and happy with the service provided by Donna! Currently we live in San Francisco so I used our trusty Unilocal to help me find a baker in or around Valencia since my mom lives here. I saw her work on here and was pleased with what she could do. I was even more pleased and satisfied with her prompt response time and how dedicated she became to our project. She has a true talent that really showed in her work and in her flavors of the cake!!! Yum! We did an Alice in Wonderland tea party theme and her tea pot creation was absolutely stunning! Our guests loved her work and enjoyed the cupcakes! I highly recommend The Cake Barn ! We look forward to working with her in the future!

I bought the paw patrol cake last week. It’s was the best cake I ever bought. I got it for my nephew 2^nd birthday. He loved it so much. She did and amazing job on the details and color. She put everything I ask. I love the taste it wasnt to sweet. The cake came out better then I imagine to come out. Thanks for an amazing cake

Thank you Donna for making our son’s «Where the Wild Things Ares» themed 1^st birthday cake! She really did an amazing job and the details she added were stunning. Not only was our cake visually impressive but it was also delicious. Donna is wonderful to work with and her prices are very reasonable. We can’t wait to work with her again!

Donna is the best! She made my sister’s baby shower the talk of the town. Everyone loved the cake. We will most probably order all our cakes from her. She’s the best baker in SCV. Hands down. Thank you Donna for a delicious and amazing cake.

First I’ll like to say Donna is amazing at what she does… She made sure that my cake/​cup cakes were exactly done to my expectations by taking the time to go over every single detail with me and answering all my question and concerns. Everyone including myself enjoyed my birthday cake/​cup cakes my guest couldn’t stop talking about how tasteful and moist my cake/​cup cakes were.
«KUDOS» to Donna for being such and excellent baker!

A first birthday comes a long once in a lifetime. A birthday to celebrate that special event needs a cake that is just as special. Donna gave us such a memorable cake to share on this special day. The cake was spectacular! The detail put into both the design and the taste was amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are so happy! Best cake ever!

My sister and I had a combo birthday celebration for our sons who turned 1 and 2. We had decorations, a piñata, lots of food but the hit of the party were the cakes (we ordered two different ones). Not only were they beautiful — one was Mickey themed and the other was Elmo themed, our guests had so many delicious moist flavors to choose from. We ordered each cake with 2 different flavors (red velvet and Dulce de Leche and the other with hazelnut vanilla with nutella and French vanilla).
The truth is Donna knows how to cater to her customers. She ensured we were happy with our customized cakes at every step of the way. Not only does she create eye catching cakes everyone will talk about at your party, she delivers the cakes on time and even makes it very easy to pay the balance with a credit card the day of the party while emailing the receipt.
I would highly recommend the Cake Barn. She makes that very important item on your to do list stress-​free.

Donna did such an amazing job on our son’s 2^nd birthday Sesame Street themed cake! Talk about details and quality workmanship! The cake looks like she put all her heart and soul into it, and she probably did. I can tell she is passionate about not only creating beautiful cakes, but also about making her clients happy and very satisfied. She goes above and beyond, and we are so extremely happy! But it doesn’t stop there. Her cakes are also super delicious! I personally tasted the almond cake with dulce de leche and OMG… amazing! One tier was chocolate cake with salted caramel but that was gone so quickly that I wasn’t able to taste it but our guests raved!
In summary, we will hands down be using only Donna for all our custom cake needs! Thank you Donna for making our son’s 2^nd birthday extra special :-)
