These cakes are amazing. They were freshly baked - just a few hours before we collected. They looked just exactly like the pictures on the website. AND best of all they were absolutely delicious - our guests commented "these are the best cupcakes ever". What an amazing company to deal with, so friendly and efficient which is just what you need when you have a big event to organise. Thank you Vanilla Pod Bakery, Cheltenham ! I should add that our guests were SO delighted when they had a cupcake in one of the gorgeous gift boxes shown to take home. A wonderful party favor idea - our event was a Baby Shower and we can't wait to order more !!!

Lovely Pia, Jo and the whole team at Vanilla Pod Bakery are the absolute dream wedding cake company :). Thank you so so much for not only creating the most beautiful, tastiest cake we have ever had but for being so caring and just a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Every email & zoom call was full of so much warm and excitement. You really are the full package and we are so happy to have found you. Honestly, we were completely blown away by with how tasty our cake was - we are going to be forever obsessed with your Apple & Cinnamon flavour - I think we may have to order some every anniversary :). Thank you to the whole team, you really do deserve ever success and more xx

My email started ‘I bet you’ve never had this request before.’ After 13 years of marriage my husband finally asked me for something for his 50th birthday. That something was 3 cakes and these were not ordinary cakes. The first was of Iron Maidens Eddie, the second was Paul McCartneys famous Bassman guitar and the third was of a specific Patek Phillipe watch. I must have approached 20+ companies asking for help, I was either ghosted, turned away, told they did not have the date or that it could be made but I would need to collect two days before. Thankfully after reaching out to our party venue they recommended The Vanilla Pod Bakery where I had the pleasure of dealing with their wonderful team via email, phone and a zoom meeting. They were up for the challenge and a design was created that combined all three of my husbands requests. Wow, this cake was incredible. Two tiers, the top being gluten and dairy free for myself. Hand painted with Eddie jumping out of the cake holding Paul McCartneys guitar and the watch face formed part of the age to the top of the cake. The cake was all hand painted with the Iron Maiden background and then ‘the number of the beast’ written to the back of the cake. The cake tasted amazing, my first taste of birthday cake in probably 10 years. We were surprised how far it went and every guest went home with enough for themselves and extended family. We have kept Eddie and my husband loved the design of the cake so much he’s now looking at having the Eddie holding the guitar made as an ornament to go in his office. Thank-you to the whole team for bringing my bizarre design and husbands only ever birthday gift request to life.

The best cakes and brownies! I have worked with Pia at venues and for other brides - and wouldn't consider anyone else baking for us. Her cakes are flawless and classy. Her team is as lovely as she is too x
