Valencia Bakery

I only have good things to say about the Valencia bakery! I lived in the Bronx and now I have lived in Brooklyn for 30+ years and still travel back to Valencia to get my cakes! I got there one Sunday when they were closing and the owner opened up the gates for me so I could buy my cake. Because of that I bought two cakes! The pineapple cake is unlike any other cake in this world and is very delicious! I don’t know where I would go if they were not there! The prices are great also. I bought a terrible cake that was slapped together in Brooklyn and paid double the price! If I could give them 10 stars– I would!

Me an Valencia cake go back 40 years. I been in Florida 20 years. Grew up in New York, has five children. We celebrated each one of my children’s
birthday for the first 10 years, and in the middle of the table was a Valencia cake. My children ages range from age 25 to 41, currently been living in Orlando for the past 21 years. My oldest lives in New york. Everytime she comes down to visit she brings me a Valencia cake. She is here in town and I just finished eating a piece of Valencia cake with pineapple filling, its so, so good. Yes Valencia and I will continue our relationship. Great bakery, great cake.

I grew up on these cakes. I still love them!!! I love love love the pineapple filled cake. Their cakes are moist and their icing isn’t too sweet.

Have been enjoying Valencia cakes for as long as I can remember! While the staple pineapple cake is good, my fave is the chocolate with vanilla custard. topping it off with a big glass of milk and bochinche with the family after the party is always the BEST!!! Lol! My go to spot is the Edgewater location «la factoria». Thank you for being such a staple for the Puerto Rican /​NYC residents!

CAnt go wrong with Valencia. I been using them for over 20 years. Cakes are Fresh and they have great ice cream to match.

These people make the best cakes! This is the go to place for bday cakes, wedding cakes ect…

Grew up eating Valencia pineapple cakes for all occasions so what can I say it’s one of my family’s favorite n mine as well. Beautiful designs, courteous n attentive staff n if u look on the side of counter you will find boxes of guava pastelillos pure delights I make trips here often just for those guava pastelillos.

My family has been using Valencia bakery since I can remember. Now that I live in Queens I use something closer to home but since my brother lives in the Bronx and his babyshower was there I decided that they had to make our cake. It came out beautiful and was delicious. It continously got compliments the entire night. Thank you for the great cake.

Me and this place go way back… okay not really way back more like 3 years back into time? Either way I put my full trust (and money) into this place twice! First time was in 2010 for my baby shower cake and they absolutely blew me away with how they duplicated the picture I had given them. It really brought my baby shower together! I was extremely satisfied.
Fast forward 2 years later when my beautiful baby was turning two and I needed to get him a cake ASAP! I had this place in the back of my head ever since my baby shower and I knew that I was going to go back for his birthday cake.
I ordered his two tier cake which featured two of Noël’s favorite Yo Gabba Gabba friends, Muno and Plex. If I was satisfied for his baby shower cake I was greatly impressed for his birthday cake. They did an amazing job and the cake was also delicious! One tier was custard and the other strawberry!
What I also love about this place is that it’s close to home, The Bronx, and I don’t need to search far and wide for a great cake.
Post Script: If you don’t like fondant (sugary paste used as a base for many decorative cakes) than this is the place to go, they use straight up buttercream icing ! Now that’s impressive!

Just takes me back to being a kid! Give me the cream filling and I”m golden…

Ahh Valencia, I have such fond memories of this place when I was a kid. In the 70’s and 80’s Valencia was the definitive NYC Latino birthday party headquarters. You got a cake with the popular characters of the time (Transformers, Heman, A-​Team), a gallon of vanilla ice cream and number candles. Also sugar flowers and small, hard, silver balls helped to decorate this sugar masterpiece.
The neighborhood was always sketchy, I remember prostitutes flashing the cars as we drove by in broad day light. Valencia is located in the notorious Hunts Point section of the Bronx. Anyone unfamiliar with Hunts Point, watch the HBO documentary «Hookers at the Point» to get a quick education.
After not having Valencias for 25 plus years, I tried a piece the other day and I was instantly transported back to my childhood. However, my taste buds have matured because damn that shit is sweet.
Valencia is a great place to reminisce about your childhood. Just add gray Lee Jeans, a black turtleneck (rope chain on the outside) and a Hector Lavoe LP playing on a turntable (Todo tiene su final).

I’m sorry, but the cakes are just not that great. My family raves about the place, but the reality is that it doesn’t even measure up to a Whole Foods cake. I find the pineapple filling to taste artificial (and you can see from their ingredients that the filling is processed). The cake was dry despite it being made «fresh» that morning. The best part of this place is the history, but sorry — I won’t be coming back.

Sweet, Sweet, and Sweet. Cake is Sweet, for Sweet loving Children. If you like Sugar Sweet then this is it.

This Valencia has been around for many years and their service doesn’t falter. If you need a great cake, great ice cream, and other accessories for your party this is the place to go. You will love it!

Valencia cake is not a Dominican cake, Valencia is originally from Spain, the bakery is located in the South Bronx in Southern Boulevard, and it has been taking over by Puerto Rican for many years, but it is in Latino neighborhood. The cake is sold according to the flavor/​filling you desire pineapple, coconut ect, in layers and the taste is very sweet as well the icing. A lot Hispanic loves it! And they always make fresh and delicious, I never had encounter that they make bad or dry ect. They are consistent with the taste of the cake

This is one of the few Valencia Bakeries in the Bronx. The cakes here are made with a unique style and flavor that no other bakery can match. I’m not saying this is the best bakery in the world, but just saying their cakes are unique. I have family that moved to Florida and California and they ask every once in a while if I can send them a cake! VERY FUNNY! I WISH!
I think the most famous cake they offer is the pineapple filled vanilla cake. This is and will be an official throwback forever.

Oh this place brings me back great some memories. The icing was my favorite and also the sugar flowers. My brother and I used to fight over the sugar flowers!
Great place and a true NYC spanish bakery.

Classic cake that always takes me back to every single-​digit birthday I had growing up in the lower east side. In the battle between which spanish bakery was better, Valencia or Veniero’s, I stay faithful to Valencia. Veniero’s icing is just too eggy-​sugary for me. Love me some Valencia strawberry filled vanilla cake, yummy!
*sigh*
oh child years, how I miss thee! Let me count the ways!

Valencia Cake = Crack.
ADHD wasn’t invented until my 5^th birthday, when they made my Lisa Simpson cake for my Lisa Simpson-​themed party, and 30 some odd kids in attendance each had a slice of this super moist, rich, insanely frosted confectionary delight.
The resulting en masse sugar high was like a scene from Caligula… minus the orgies.
They also made my 6^th, 7^th, 8^th, and 9^th birthday cakes for school… until I transfered to a fascist jr high that didn’t allow for «ostentatious displays of celebration.»
You’ve been warned.

Mouth-​watering, best ever, authentic, Dominican Cake! NO JOKE. No other bakery can touch their style of cake. If you never had it, you must try it. I insist!
I’m soooo nostalgic over them. I’ve been eating Valencia cakes since I was a kid growing up in the Bronx in my dominantly latino neighborhood especially the typical and most popular yellow cake with pineapple filling and slammin white icing. Ahhhhhhhhh.
The yellow cake is so well made, soft and delicate that it literally will melt in your mouth. The pineapple so sweet and so tropical. There is nothing like it. The white sugar icing just puts it all together. It’s a great combo of flavors.
There are other fillings like guava, apricot, chocolate, strawberry, etc. But for me, I have to have the original pina filling.
I am so glad to have reviewed Valencia cakes 1^st on Unilocal.There are many bakeries through out the Bronx and I noticed some in Manny. There’s also the Valencia factory in SoBro not too far from the Hunts Point area if you dare to go there.
I highly recommend Valencia cakes. If you wanna be a New Yorker, you have to try it and indulge in Latin Amer flavor of baking!
According to their site
they are open 7 days a week. Good for last minute celebrations. Cakes are always fresh.
