Full Description
- Hello my name is Pia and thank you for visiting this page. I own the Vanilla Pod Bakery, a bespoke wedding cake bakery based in the beautiful regency town of Cheltenham. I am a keen Pinterester (if that is a word!) and I am constantly looking at bridal blogs and magazines in order to keep my eye on the latest trends and fashions. This then feeds into the cakes that I design and create. Creating beautiful wedding cakes is my passion and over the years I have developed a cake style that is relaxed yet elegant. I strongly believe that each Vanilla Pod Bakery cake should taste as good as they look and therefore use high quality ingredients, locally sourced where possible, to ensure that every bite of a Vanilla Pod Bakery cake is a little taste of luxury. The Vanilla Pod Bakery offers a delicious array of mouth-watering flavours including Belgium Chocolate Truffle, Victoria Sandwich and Lemon Drizzle Curd, as well as Red Velvet, Oreo and Almond & Jam. I love baking and bespoke options are always welcomed. A wedding is such a personal occasion and choosing a cake is one of the fun steps on the to do list. I like to make this a relaxed and enjoyable experience, as it is not everyday you choose a bespoke wedding cake. If you would like to take it further, I would be delighted to invite you to a yummy cake tasting and design consultation at The Queen's Hotel in Cheltenham. To book please visit my website for details.
