Truly Amazing Experience

I just wanted to thank you and your whole team for making my wife’s Goyard handbag cake for her 40th, we are all blown away with the detail you’ve managed to put into it, simply stunning.

The whole service from start to finish has been exemplary, down to the balloon and hand written birthday card. Wholeheartedly thank you for making it so very special in these odd times we are currently living in.

You are all at the top of your profession and I’m looking forward to working with you again in the future.

If you wish to use the cake images on social media please do. I’ll be sending a few images to Goyard. Have a wonderful day.

Beautiful and delicious cakes. Personal and professional service.

The Vanilla Pod Bakery website was easy to use and offered a great online ordering service. The hardest part was choosing the flavours.
I live locally so decided to use the collection option rather than delivery. The cakes were ready and waiting at the designated time and pick up was easy and well organised.
The cupcakes were presented in a stylish box, were beautifully decorated and tasted delicious.
I’m a previous customer and have always been delighted with Pia’s personal and professional service. Vanilla Pod Bakery offer a very high quality product whether your order is large or small. I wouldn’t hesitate to use again and recommend to friends and family.

I needed six vanilla cupcakes at very short notice

I needed six vanilla cupcakes at very short notice (less than a week) and Pia made it happen! It was my friend's birthday and we have a tradition where we give each other cupcakes on our birthdays. He lives in Cheltenham and I live in Sevenoaks and we're in lockdown so I couldn't personally go and see him. He was very happy with his delicious pug cupcakes.

Thank you much for your lovely review Alyssia. I am so happy we were able to help keep the tradition cupcake alive. It was such a joy to create them and so happy your friend loved them too. Best wishes, Pia and team Vanilla Pod Bakery x

Pia and team were the icing on the cake!

Pia and team were the icing on the cake for my aunt's 100th birthday.

At short notice she took my order, offering a wide choice for type of cake, size and style of decoration. I was kept informed on progress, and the finished product was delivered on time, together with instructions on how best to cut it up. My only regret was that, owing to the pandemic, I was not able to be there to share it. However Pia sent me a photo of the finished article (it looked fabulous) and my aunt and her carers said it tasted as good as it looked.

Celebration Cake

Pia and the team were fantastic in creating a unique and stunning cake for my wife, Lucy's, birthday. She was incredibly helpful, and very creative in coming up with design ideas. And it tasted absolutely fantastic as well! I'm very grateful and highly recommend The Vanilla Pod Bakery

Thank you so much for your amazing words Pete, we had so much fun creating Lucy's birthday cake. I think it was the most technical we had ever made so far! Thank you so much for letting us play a little part in your wife's birthday celebrations. Best wishes, Pia and team Vanilla Pod Bakery x

Wedding cake

Getting married and cake shopping during COVID restrictions isn’t easy but Vanilla Pod Bakery made it possible. Initial phone consultation with Pia was very pleasant and professional. Fantastic range of flavours and cake tasting box really helped us choose the favourites. Small wedding wasn’t a problem and we could still have our special cake. It was beautiful and delicious!!!
