It is very difficult to offer a price list per se, as each of our beautiful cake and dessert tables have so many variables bespoke to each couple. We take into account the number of servings, the complexity of design and style elements, and level of service the couple choose.

Sometimes a highly decorated smaller cake may take longer to create than a larger one, and therefore, will be a higher price.

We bake a number of different sized cakes and we will always try to present a few possible variations for you to choose from.

However, as a guide our wonderful wedding cake prices tend to range between £5.00 - £45.00 per portion.

Yes! We would be delighted to talk to you first. We host cake consultations via telephone or zoom, as well as private in person consultations. We’ll guide you through your wedding cake / dessert table options such as size, shape, flavour, number of portions, decoration and level of detail.

Absolutely, you are welcome to order a delicious Tasting Box prior to booking from our website shop here.

The Tasting Boxes are a wonderful experience to have at home with your selves, or friends and family. They are sent direct to your chosen address via Royal Mail.

We are delighted to offer expert hand delivery and wedding cake set up service to venues and private homes across the Cotswolds, UK and abroad.

Depending on the cake design, the size of cake and the timings on the day, we will organise for either a single Cake Stylist or a team of Cake Stylists to set up and dress the cake on site.

To secure your wedding cake booking we ask for a non refundable deposit of £350.00.

The remaining balance is then due in full one month prior to your wedding date

Yes! We have had a number of couples take our delicious signature fruit cakes abroad over the years.

The cakes can easily travel in hold luggage.

Our couples have taken single tiered fruit cakes from their wedding day in the UK to enjoy at a later date.

We have also had couples from the UK order different size fruit cakes for their weddings abroad.

Fruit cakes have a shelve life of around 3 months to 18 months (depending on how they are stored).

Our Director and Founder, Pia Cato, launched the Vanilla Pod Bakery back when she was 23 in 2009 after winning her University’s business plan competition.

Pia’s original idea was to open a Cupcake Shop and Tearooms but the creation of bespoke celebration and wedding cakes took hold and she is now extremely proud to operate our of a specialist cake studio in Cheltenham with her small highly talented team of passionate cake artists and cake enthusiasts.
