Each of our beautiful wedding cakes and dessert tables have so many variables that are bespoke to each couple. We take into account the number of wedding cake servings, the complexity of the cake design and style elements, and level of service the couple may choose.

We bake a number of different sized cakes and we will always try to present a few possible variations for you to choose from in our proposal to you.
Sometimes a highly decorated smaller cake may take longer to create than a larger one, and therefore, will be a higher price.

Can we taste your cakes before we book?
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.
Do you offer delivery?
We are delighted to offer expert hand delivery and wedding cake set up service to venues and private homes across Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds.
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.
How do we book a Vanilla Pod Bakery wedding cake?
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
How early should we book our wedding cake?
We only take on a limited number of Bespoke Wedding cake orders per year.
Therefore, to avoid disappointment, it is best to Save The Date as soon as you know you would like to commission us for your special day.
Can we travel abroad with Vanilla Pod Bakery wedding cakes?
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).
How long as the Vanilla Pod Bakery been trading?
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 be running her cake business with a small team of highly talented and passionate cake artists.
Can we collect our wedding cake?
I am afraid we only offer a delivery and set up first. Due to the fragile nature of wedding cakes, we like to ensure everything is set up perfectly before we leave.
We offer a free initial phone consultation. This is a great way to chat with our founder Pia Cato about what you are really looking for in a wedding cake. Together you and Pia can talk about styles, themes and more.
Our portfolio showcases just a few of the beautiful, mouthwatering wedding cakes we’ve created for couples over the years. Though we specialise in naked, semi-naked and buttercream wedding cakes – which are perfect for a gorgeous elegant yet relaxed wedding – we also love a challenge!
