We create elegant, timeless, show stopping centre pieces, to naturally beautiful cakes. You may know exactly what you want from your wedding cake – or maybe you need a little inspiration. Either way, are help to inspire your cake dreams.
Do you offer a price list?
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.
Can we talk to you about our wedding cake ideas first?
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.

Can we taste your cakes before we book?
Of course! We offer a number of different ways for you to taste our delicious cakes first.
You are welcome to order a wonderful tasting box direct from our online shop.
Or join us at our new Luxury Afternoon Cake Tasting Events.
Do you offer delivery?
We offer an expert hand delivery and wedding cake set up service to venues and private homes across the UK, though we tend to specialise going to locations within the Cotswolds.
We prefer to deliver and set up wedding cakes on the day, though some type of cakes can be delivered the day before.
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 are a small team and therefore only like to take on a limited number of wedding cakes per week.
Therefore it is best to Save the Date as soon as possible. Even if you haven’t decided on all the elements for your beautiful wedding cake, as long as the date is secure you will be in our diary.

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).
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!
