The team and Pia were fantastic and were able to accommodate our dietary requirements without compromising on taste. Communication was easy and they kept us updated throughout the process. I would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat.

Amongst the intensity of all the wedding planning, the cake was our little haven of joy! The Vanilla Pod Bakery provided a gold plated service along with gorgeous variety of flavours for gluten AND dairy free tiers. The experience was fun, stress-free and an absolute delight to create and taste! Thank you girls. X

Pia created 100 brilliant golf themed cupcakes for our American Golf store opening in Gloucester (50 branded, 50 golf themed). Not only were they delicious, but they also looked fantastic! Our customers loved them and all were gone by the end of the night. Communication with Pia was fantastic, she worked flexibly with us and took an extra effort to execute our vision perfectly. We couldn't recommend The Vanilla Pod Bakery enough! Thank you for the wonderful cupcakes :)

We absolutely loved the cake the Vanilla Pod team made for our son’s christening. The design was exactly how we wanted it, the cake looked stunning and was so perfectly precise with detail. The flavour was also amazing, with super soft sponge and delicious filling and icing, I don’t know anywhere that does a better cake! The cake also freezes really well and comes with guidance on how best to wrap it up etc and it tastes just as delicious once defrosted. The card was such a lovely touch, and the team are all so lovely and a delight to deal with. We had our wedding cake from here also and can’t wait for the next celebration so we can order another, thank you!

A cake straight from a fairytale! I met lovely Pia at the open day at our venue and instantly loved her work from her portfolio and samples. Using her incredible expertise she was able to guide me on what would work best based on my wedding theme/ideas and provided me with a beautiful sketch! We then got an at home tasting sample pack which was absolutely delicious and decided on Strawberry & Prosecco and Apple & Cinnamon which were just to die for!! Our cake was an absolute work of art, and tasted just as amazing. At the end of the night there was none left so our guests clearly felt the same way!! Thank you so much Pia, Jo and all the team at Vanilla Pod for bringing the dreamiest cake to life for us! Sarah & Matthew x

Just a quick note to thank you and your team for the simply amazing christening cake you made for Digby. It was exactly how I pictured it and absolutely delicious - my only regret is that I only managed a mouthful and I gave it all away in the cake boxes!!! It was so special to have you make our sons christening cake having also made our wedding cake and we hope to use you again in the future for another special occasion.

Our wedding cake was more beautiful than we could’ve imagined. We absolutely loved working with Vanilla Pod Bakery. Pia and the team are a dream to work with!! Our guests loved the cake. We were worried we might’ve ordered too much cake as a lot of our friends mentioned lots of cake was left at their weddings but we luckily got the last two slices of ours! Shoutout to Jo! Jo was so professional and just lovely. Thank you Jo. Don’t hesitate to work with Vanilla Pod Bakery - they are awesome!!

The 50 number cake I ordered was just divine to look at and so scruptious! The Madagascan Vanilla flavour with the fresh fruit and macarons on top was a superb combination. I truly recommend! :)
