At The Vanilla Pod Bakery, our hearts belong to beautiful bakes, impeccable flavours, and unforgettable wedding moments. We're absolutely captivated by the latest trend stealing the spotlight: the fabulous Giant Single Tiered Wedding Cake! This style has redefined what a single tiered cake is and creates a focal point that is both super impressive and wonderfully refined.
Forget the fuss of complex cake architecture—these single tiered marvels are all about pure, unadulterated artistry and flavour.
Why We Are in Love: The Magic of the Giant Single Tiered Cake

• Flavour Focus: With no structural constraints, we can focus entirely on delivering a cake that is delicious, full of flavour, and perfectly finished.

Giant Single Tiered Cake Options
We adore crafting these spectacular bakes and offer delicious options tailored to your taste and celebration style:
• The Cloud of Joy: Giant Pavlova! An absolute delight of crisp, pillowy meringue filled with sweet Chantilly cream and generously crowned with an explosion of vibrant fresh berries and edible garden blooms. A stunning textural masterpiece!
• Elegant Layers: The Mighty Italian Millefoglie! A sophisticated choice featuring layers of shattering-crisp, golden puff pastry interspersed with silky smooth, vanilla-laced crème pâtissière and fresh berries. We finish this with a delicate dusting of icing sugar and an abundance of fresh fruit—pure European romance!
• The Classic Redefined: Our Luxurious Sponge Cakes! With a diameter of 12” or more, our signature sponge recipes — from rich Belgian Chocolate Truffle to zesty Lemon Drizzle Curd or our classic Madagascan Victoria Sandwich — can be elegant scaled to majestic proportions. These are the perfect canvas for your chosen finish, whether the cake is covered completely in strawberries or beautiful Lambeth buttercream piping this type of cake create a fabulous imposing presence.

Your Artistic Finish: Textures & Toppings
Every Vanilla Pod Bakery cake is completed with beautiful, edible decorations chosen for their colour and freshness:
• Fresh Berries: Hand-selected for their sweetness and rich jewel tones.
• Edible Fresh Flowers: Sourced with care, adding delicate colour and refined elegance.
For your chosen finish, select the perfect creamy texture:
• Silky Buttercream: One of our most popular cake finishes — fluffy, delicious, and endlessly versatile for colour and texture.
• Light Crème Pâtissière: Indulgent, thick, and perfectly vanilla-infused, ideal for balancing the pastry in a Millefoglie.
• Sweet Chantilly Cream: Light, sweet, and pure heaven. A note on this luxury option: due to its delicate nature, Chantilly cream has a much shorter shelf life and is best suited for prompt serving.
