ABOUT THE VANILLA POD BAKERY

Hello – I’m Pia Cato, the owner and founder of the Vanilla Pod Bakery. My Cotswold based business was born out of a passion for creating delicious cakes that put a smile on people’s faces. I’ve loved baking for as long as I can remember. I have fond memories of making yummy scones and helping my father bake jam tarts on a lazy Sunday afternoons.

So it was only natural that I went on to launch the Vanilla Pod Bakery in 2009. I decided to set the business up after I won the University of Gloucestershire’s first ever business planning competition. Initially, my idea was to open a cupcake tearooms but I soon discovered that my heart lay with creating bespoke cakes for extra special occasions. And the Vanilla Pod Bakery was born.

We now specialise in creating relaxed yet elegant wedding cakes & dessert tables, as well as extra special birthday cakes and indulgent cupcakes.

We are now a small collective of cake creators and offer a highly personalised cake experience, with all cakes being created to order. No factory lines here!

Using high-quality ingredients – from local free-range eggs from our super suppliers Billy’s Eggs, to Matthews Cotswold Flour, to fragrant Madagascan vanilla. All of our mouth-watering cakes are handed created with the upmost care and love.

Over the years myself and team have been very lucky to bake for many wonderful couples and have been featured in many super blogs and magazines, including OK! and Hello. We are also a preferred cake supplier at a number of prestigious venues across the Cotswold area (please see our homepage for more details).

Please take your time to browse our portfolio, or get in touch for a quote or to place an order.

I look forward to hearing from you.
