The Vanilla Pod Bakery - Luxury Wedding & Celebration Cakes

Amongst the intensity of all the wedding planning, the cake was our little haven of joy! The Vanilla Pod Bakery provided a gold plated service along with gorgeous variety of flavours for gluten AND dairy free tiers. The experience was fun, stress-free and an absolute delight to create and taste! Thank you girls. X

My email started ‘I bet you’ve never had this request before.’ After 13 years of marriage my husband finally asked me for something for his 50th birthday. That something was 3 cakes and these were not ordinary cakes. The first was of Iron Maidens Eddie, the second was Paul McCartneys famous Bassman guitar and the third was of a specific Patek Phillipe watch. I must have approached 20+ companies asking for help, I was either ghosted, turned away, told they did not have the date or that it could be made but I would need to collect two days before. Thankfully after reaching out to our party venue they recommended The Vanilla Pod Bakery where I had the pleasure of dealing with their wonderful team via email, phone and a zoom meeting. They were up for the challenge and a design was created that combined all three of my husbands requests. Wow, this cake was incredible. Two tiers, the top being gluten and dairy free for myself. Hand painted with Eddie jumping out of the cake holding Paul McCartneys guitar and the watch face formed part of the age to the top of the cake. The cake was all hand painted with the Iron Maiden background and then ‘the number of the beast’ written to the back of the cake. The cake tasted amazing, my first taste of birthday cake in probably 10 years. We were surprised how far it went and every guest went home with enough for themselves and extended family. We have kept Eddie and my husband loved the design of the cake so much he’s now looking at having the Eddie holding the guitar made as an ornament to go in his office. Thank-you to the whole team for bringing my bizarre design and husbands only ever birthday gift request to life.
