We came to Pia with the ambition to do our wedding cake a little differently, traditional, beautiful and elegant on the outside but yummy and quirky and so us on the inside! We ended up with a beautiful Naked cake designed by Pia with three outrageously yummy flavours: Snickers, Oreo and Classic Victoria Sandwich. We ordered the cake to serve 120 portions, even though we only had 55 guests… every last piece went! Every single guest commented how yummy the cake was, all debating the quirky flavours and laughing at how us it was! We honestly could not recommend Pia enough, she is so lovely, cool, calm and passionate about cakes! The cake tasting was a dream, and she truly bought all of our thoughts to life better than we could have ever imagined! THANK YOU THANK YOU Pia, for making us the yummiest cake of our dreams! Xxx

I am so pleased that we came across Vanilla Pod Bakery. From the moment we met Pia and realised that she knew exactly what we wanted when we explained our vision with our bespoke cake to her I was so comfortable that our cake would be petfect and that was before even trying some of the flavours! Everything from the communication, the tasting session the drafts right through to delivery was so warm and professional. What a wonderful surprise to walk in to our wedding breakfast and seeing our ideas created in to a cake that was far better than we could have imagined. Thank you so much Pia and team for such a heartfelt creation which contributed so much to the overwhelming experience of our whole day xx you guys are awesome! Xx

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! Thank you Pia for giving me a dream cake at my wedding. Highly recommend The Vanilla Pod Bakery!

Bought my girlfriend a dozen cupcakes for her birthday. Oh my goodness were they good. For £3 a cake it's a steal. Better than any I've bought commercially by a stretch. Can't wait for the next excuse to buy more. Thanks Pia.
