  • Emma

    Pia and her team created our wonderful Wedding cake recently. Pia was easy to correspond with and helped us to create the cake we wanted. We were able to select our favourite flavours from a huge list of options and also the design. The cake looked and tasted amazing and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pia and The Vanilla Pod Bakery to others. The sweet little cupcakes were an added bonus treat given to us on our day which we took away and enjoyed on our honeymoon.

  • Cieran

    Pia and her team created a fabulous cake for our wedding last month. Not only did it look amazing it also tasted delicious and we had many compliments about it from our guests. Was great to be able to try different sponge and filling flavours before making our decision. It was also lovely to be sent a photo of the cake in progress a couple of days before the wedding. I would recommend without hesitation and definite 5 star rating!

  • Harriet

    We asked Vanilla Pod Bakery to make our wedding cake for our wedding at The Barn at Upcote- Pia and the team came highly recommended and we weren't disappointed! We had a lovely cake tasting with Pia where we got to try lots of delicious flavours and discuss in detail the design of our cake. Pia and her team stayed in touch with us over the months, making sure to finalise all the details a few weeks before and even send us a sneak peak of the cake-making process which was such a nice touch. The wedding cake Pia created was absolutely perfect - it looked beautiful and tasted amazing. She even made some gluten free cupcakes for my sister so she wasn't left out on the day (and she said they tasted great too!

  • Amanda

    Pia and her team were amazing. We got married three weeks ago and they made me the most beautiful cake.

    They listened and followed all of my instructions. I even asked the team to make me these chocolate covered strawberries in light pink and white and they were amazing too. The best part was that Pia surprised me with four cupcakes with the chocolate covered strawberries! It was divine!

  • Sarah

    Pia was fantastic from the very beginning and we knew we had found the right person to make our wedding cake from our initial meeting. The cake tasting was one of our favourite experiences of our Wedding planning and it was so hard to choose just 3 flavours from all of the delicious options available.

    Pia kept in touch with us as it got closer to the date of the Wedding which was very reassuring and I felt that she really cared about making our cake. When we saw the cake for the first time in the Ballroom at Manor by the Lake we were absolutely delighted and it tasted as beautiful as it looked. We would not hesitate to recommend Pia and The Vanilla Pod Bakery to anyone who is looking for a special occasion cake.

  • Nicholas

    We enjoyed the tasting session with Pia; she managed to accurately capture the ideas we had in our heads and was really clear with us on the designs she had in mind whilst making it is easy to tweak things if we wanted. The cake itself tasted amazing and and looked spectacular. We particularly liked some of the smaller touches such as the photos we were sent of the cake being made in the days leading up to the wedding. Lots of our guests have specifically picked out how much they loved the cake when speaking to us since the big day. Importantly for us, the communication from Vanilla Pod throughout the process was quick and clear and we couldn't have asked for a better service.

  • Gema

    We were so impressed with Pia from the first meeting at a venue open day to our tasting session and then sample boxes to the seamless professional manner on our wedding day itself at the venue. The cake looked and tasted amazing and very much enjoyed all the left overs! She listens and advises well on flavours and size needed and the surprise card we were sent after the wedding with our cake on was a lovely touch, would 100% recommend to anyone who needs a fab cake making.
