Great communication, lovely looking cakes, unfortunately I didn’t try one as they were sent to my dogs daycare (for the humans) for his birthday celebrations! Love supporting local companies and appreciated the option to have the cakes delivered locally, very convenient.

Pia and the team were absolutely amazing! They were always at end of the phone if we needed any changes. kept us posted at all times and updated us with everything. Sent us pictures through out the process. They well and truly put our mind at ease through this journey. The cake was visually stunning and delicious to eat!! To the point we've frozen some!!

Pia and the Vanilla Pod team were outstanding throughout our wedding planning, Pia had so many suggestions and creative ideas, and was able of pull off a wonderful cake that reflected us as a couple, with… handmade items, a work of art! The cake was incredible, the salted caramel tier being a huge hit! We 100% recommend Vanilla Pod!

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Vanilla Pod Bakery. Pia is a true baking expert and gave us fabulous advice and was very informative throughout our booking and planning process. The taste boxes are a great way to decide on your flavours (and I'm sure we will re-order to remind us of the special occasion in the future!). Set up was on time and precise, the cake looked absolutely incredible and everything we hoped it could be. thank you so much to all of the team!
We loved the variety of options that came from Vanilla Pod, and felt confident that Pia and team would be able to make

I cannot put into words how outstanding the service was from Vanilla Pod Bakery. From approaching them with an initial idea, Pia was so warm and enthusiastic and her creativity along with her team helped to visualise my amazing wedding cupcake display. Not only did all the cakes look stunning, they all tasted amazing - everyone thought it was a total show stopper! From start to finish everyone at Vanilla Pod Bakery was friendly, kind and supportive and were a pleasure to deal with at every point of the organising. It's so refreshing to find such passion in a business - led by Pia - and people who

We ordered our wedding cupcakes from the Vanilla Pod Bakery and Pia was super helpful advising us on our options and helping us create the theme we wanted for our big day. We especially loved the taster box sent out in the post to us, it was a nice touch and made the experience even more enjoyable. And what can we say about the cakes? DELICIOUS! We were so happy with how they turned out and they tasted amazing! We went for Belgian choc orange, red velvet and Madagascan vanilla with jam flavours. Our guests certainly enjoyed their cupcakes too! We had an initial telephone consultation with Pia and

We ordered some sunflower cupcakes for Mother’s Day. Pia kindly sent us an update the morning she delivered them to let us know when mum would receive them. The cupcakes were beautifully decorated and very much enjoyed. Thank you Pia - we’ll definitely be ordering from Vanilla Pod again! 😋 James & Roxy

We had a lovely time enjoying freshly made cupcakes by Pia and her team. They were so delicious and fresh. The cupcakes travelled all the from Cheltenham to Solihull which was so amazing. I am so glad that I chose Vanilla Pod Bakery on my mom's birthday.

Ordered a dozen floral buttercream cupcakes for my parents’ wedding anniversary. Beautifully presented and delivered with a personal touch. Cupcakes are absolutely delicious and look wonderful. It was a lovely touch to get the morning email update that they were fresh out of the oven. Highly recommended.

From the very first phone call until the product was safely delivered (and even beyond), the customer service experience with Vanilla Pod Bakery far surpasses most businesses I deal with! My language of love is making the people I care about feel special on their birthdays! Unfortunately for me, a person I care very much about lives 3000 miles away from me. A surprise box of cupcakes is not just a treat - it's a way of saying, I'm thinking of you and I want you to have the best birthday ever! Vanilla Pod Bakery understood that! You would think good customer service would go without saying, but

I ordered a box of 12 cupcakes for my sisters birthday- 6 chocolate and 6 salted caramel. They were presented beautifully but more importantly they tasted fantastic! In particular the salted caramel cupcakes… were unbelievably good! I know that Pia makes incredible wedding cakes but now I know her cupcakes are equally as good. Thank you xx

My friend who lives in Cornwall, surprised us this week with a delivery of 12 cupcakes ordered online. They are hands down, the best cupcakes we’ve ever had. Will use these myself from now on. Thoroughly recommend.

From the first meeting up to tasting our incredible cake I can put to words how amazing the service from Pia and her team was! We had updates throughout the year and felt they couldn't do enough for us. Myself, my new Husband and our guests all loved the cake and were so impressed by the elegance and beauty of it.
