  The most gorgeous delicious DREAM cake and experience a bride could dream of...

  Where do I even begin, writing a review for the loveliest, most patient, TALENTED, kind, accommodating vendor we could have dreamt of working with? Selena is somehow sweeter than her unbelievable cakes. She and I made a quick and strong connection that grew over months of emails, all for the love of cake!!! We went back and forth on our wedding cake design, where she would offer beautiful renderings that helped my vision really come to life. She never made me feel like the updates or changes I wanted to see were an inconvenience to her, or that she was trying to simplify or streamline the process. It was an extremely personalized experience, from start to finish (which ended with a phone call in which my husband and I poured our hearts out to her 🥹) We felt like the lucky ones, to be able to work with such a talent, who made a special trip all the way from Savannah, GA to hand deliver our beautiful, ethereal masterpiece on our wedding day. Our cake was one of the most important details to us on our big day, and the beauty of the cake blew us away, as well as our guests, as expected! Every time I look at a photo I notice a new detail that made the cake remarkably “ours” (Hello, jasmine petals 😭😭😭) The design melted perfectly into our decor, floral, and color scheme details beyond every dream. We know we will be working with Selena in the coming years, for anniversary tiers, and other sweet celebrations 🩷

  The absolute best!

  Selena was the best decision! I knew I wanted to book her before we even got engaged based on her beautiful cakes. Dessert was extremely important to us and she did not disappoint! The tasting was beautiful and she was very responsive during the planning process. She was so easy to work with and ensured we ended up with the most beautiful cake, macarons, and cream puffs. I was in awe of the final result! It was the most beautiful cake I've seen and tasted even better! All of our guests complimented us on how amazing the dessert was. Multiple gusts said they had 2-3 pieces of cake even though they were full. Selena is also the one of the nicest people you will ever communicate with. It's a no brainer to book Selena. You will have an unmatched luxury product and experience at an extremely reasonable price. I can't wait to see the professional photos of the cake!

  Gorgeous AND tasty!

  When looking for the perfect bakery for our wedding - Vanilla & The Bean was at the top of my list. As a wedding planner in Charleston, I have seen lots and lots of wedding cakes - so I was hoping to work with someone that could create something unique, yet reflective of our aesthetic. I had seen Selena's work, and always admired it -- so when we chose to get married in Beaufort, SC it was an easy decision to hire Vanilla & The Bean!
  
  Her cakes are not only beautiful - but DELICIOUS. We had the Brown Butter& Butterscotch, Funfetti and Buttermilk Chocolate for our cake. Guests raved about the cake throughout the evening. My elderly grandfather, who was not eating much at the time of our wedding - had MULTIPLE slices (which surprised everyone). Safe to say, we are counting down the days until we can have a bite of our anniversary tier.
  
  Overall, I am so lad we worked with Selena for our big day -- and I look forward to hiring her for many future brides!!

  Can't recommend highly enough!!!

  
  My husband and I got married in Savannah in April 2022 after 2.5 years of planning from NYC during COVID. From the moment I spoke with Selena, I knew Vanilla + The Bean was the perfect fit. Baking is a passion of mine and it was very important to both my husband and I that we had a great cake - and Selena did not disappoint! In addition to her incredible flavors (we had the Signature Olive Oil and I’ll Take a Cheesecake, Please flavors), she created such an elegant cake! Since we had to cancel our trip to Savannah for our initial vendor interviews/tastings, Selena sent us two boxes with pieces of all the flavors we were considering - and she sent a box to my matron of honor in another state so she and her husband could participate in the tasting with us!
  
  Selena also recommended a pre-slice option (using a faux cake with a piece of real cake for cake-cutting but then individually pre-cutting all the guest slices for the caterer to serve). This turned out not only to be a great option for COVID precautions but also 1) the cake slices were picture perfect & even and 2) it worked out because the gnats were swarming around out faux cake and got stuck in the icing!
  
  I honestly cannot recommend Vanilla + The Bean highly enough! Selena is truly an artist - not only for her flavors and textures but in every design detail! We cannot wait for our Anniversary tier just to have her cake again!

  The BEST cake vendor period.

  I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Selena is so sweet and is truly invested in making sure she brings your vision to life. Not only did her creation come out better than my Inspo pictures, but it tasted absolutely amazing. Everyone STILL raves about our cake! Quite a few guests exclaimed, “I do not like cake, but that cake was DELICIOUS!”. From our first interaction to today, Selena has been just so amazing and communicative. She is a true artist and I will recommend her every time a bride tells me they haven’t found a cake vendor yet. You will not be disappointed working with Vanilla & the bean ❤️

  Delicious work of Art

  Selena was an absolute pleasure to work with and her work of art was a delicious hit on our big day! From the beginning, communication with Selena wasn’t a business transaction, it was more like an instant friend who was excited to be a part of your special day! From a drop off tasting box dropped off at our hotel while taking engagement photos, to emails and phone calls regarding design and flavor, nothing seemed like an issue to Selena. The hardest part of the whole process was picking which delicious flavor to have. We are so glad we went with Vanilla & The Bean!!

  The best ever

  We could not have loved working with Selena more! From the beautiful, delicious, gorgeously curated tasting session she put together, through the exciting concept/design conversations, to the actual wedding day/whole shebang, Selena hit it out of the park with everything! She created three STUNNING, creative, colorful cakes and adorable mini-Millefoglie for us that people are still raving about 10 months later. We went with her Funfetti flavor and, wow, what a crowd pleaser. We ordered more than we needed but did not have a crumb of anything left over— everyone DEVOURED the desserts. If you have the chance to work with the Vanilla and the Bean team, you will get your dream cake and more. My family fell in love with Selena (she a is truly wonderful person), and we are so grateful to her for making our wedding cake(s) both spectacular and special.

  So wonderful and talented!

  Selena was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. The whole process felt so personalized, from the cake tasting to the cake design and flavor selection. All of the flavors that we tasted were so delicious, and she even developed a custom flavor for our wedding. The design of the cake absolutely blew me away – she truly creates pieces of art. Selena was not only incredibly professional, but so personable and sweet. I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Vanilla and the Bean!!

  The best cake !

  Selena is SO sweet & easy to work with! I am not a huge cake fan but all of her cakes taste amazing. She has the most unique and elevated flavors. All of my guests raved about how good the cake was!

  Highly recommend!

  My husband and I hired Vanilla & The Bean to create a small cake for our micro-wedding last month. From our first interaction, Selena was wonderful and super easy to work with. We loved how personable and enthusiastic she was. She sent us a helpful welcome packet and nailing down what we wanted was a breeze. She had no issues with any of our requests and was happy to accommodate us. She sent us a beautiful and professional proposal and we knew we had made the right choice.
  
  On the big day, we weren’t around for the cake delivery but I assume everything went totally fine! The cake was gorgeous and delicious. The top was chocolate with a layer of blackberry mascarpone cream and the bottom was brown butter butterscotch. We all loved it! We highly recommend Vanilla & The Bean. Thanks for everything Selena!

  Selena is the best

  Selena created the most beautiful & classic wedding cake for my wedding! Not to mention it tasted amazing and all my guests raved about it. My husband and I wanted to include our pup somewhere on the cake and it turned out adorable. She is a true professional and would 10/10 recommend her to anyone in the Savannah area looking for wedding cake baker!

  Most gorgeous wedding cake!

  We just loved working with Selena for our wedding cake! She was so easy to communicate with and such a sweetheart! My groom is gluten free so she made us a lovely gluten free cake tasting box with so many yummy flavors. In the end we went with the very berry and peanut butter cup flavors for our precious two tiered cake and we could not have been happier! It was so gorgeous and tasty! Thank you Selena!!

  What Wedding Cake Dreams Are Made Of! 

  My wedding was exactly 3 weeks ago and I just wish I could eat all of the delicious treats that Selena baked us again! I am struggling with writing this review because of all of the amazing things I want to say about Selena and her craft. Ya'll her cakes are a work of art AND they taste incredible. My husband and I are foodies and it was very important that our cake be delicious. When we had our tasting the hardest decision was picking one flavor so Selena told us not to pick which was of course the right decision! She worked closely with me to ensure our cake design was exactly what I wanted and she also made us donuts that were placed at each guests table setting and she made us adorable monogrammed cookies for our rehearsal which were the first thing to disappear! Everything she made was so beautiful and delicious and our guests could not stop talking about it. Our wedding would not have been complete without Selena!

  Beautiful and Delicious!

  I wanted a wedding/birthday cake that matched my invitations, and Selena delivered x 100! We went with her “When Life Gives You Lemons” cake, and it was so delicious and absolutely beautiful.

  Snag her while you can!!

  If I could eat cake for every meal, then I would most certainly be getting it from Selena at Vanilla + The Bean. Her bespoke confections are always worth marveling at for their artistic innovation, but beyond that, they’re mindblowingly delicious! I mean, who even thinks of flavor combos like extra virgin olive oil and cabernet blueberry jam and cream cheese mousse? Selena does. And she does it so well! It’s always such a treat to work with her, toss around ideas and be floored by the result. But beyond her talent + expertise over her craft, her kind, bubbly personality speaks volumes. Selena always has her clients’ interests at heart, and will go above and beyond to make sure they are overwhelmingly happy with the results. We truly could not recommend her more for weddings in Savannah, Charleston and beyond!

  Just What I Hoped For

  Vanilla & The Bean is the absolute BEST! I was blown away by the cake design (obsessed, really) and the flavor was heavenly. I truly couldn't have been any happier with our wedding cake. I will definitely be a return customer for anniversary cakes, etc in the future. If Selena is available for your event, grab her! You will not be disappointed.

I will definitely be a return customer for anniversary cakes, etc in the future. If Selena is available for your event, grab her! You will not be disappointed.

  Loved having Vanilla + The Bean for our wedding day!

  We found Vanilla + The Bean through our wedding planner, Willow and Oak Events, and we are so happy with how everything turned out. The process was super simple, our planner shared a photo of our inspiration cake and V+B did an incredible job with creating the cake, I was so happy, it was exactly what I imagined and so creative! Our planner had this neat idea in our proposal for mini cakes with flowers on top. We thought they were super cute and we were able to include that on our wedding day as well. It was a big hit and made our table-scape look inviting and fun! I couldn’t believe the beautiful work V+B did on the iced flowers, they were so real looking and so pretty. We were not able to come in for any tastings because we were so far away, but we knew that it was going to taste sooo good, which it absolutely did. We were big fans of the olive oil cakes and also got chocolate too. Just thinking about it now makes my mouth water. I highly recommend working with Vanilla +The Bean for your wedding or any event! We are very happy that we did :), thank you Vanilla +The Bean!

  We had an amazing experience with VB! Very kid and so easy to work with.

  Selena was amazing! Best cake I’ve ever had in my life! We got so many compliments on our cake and how great it was! People have even joked about sharing our 1 year frozen cake! Very professional, sweet as can be, and extremely talented! We loved our cake!

  Highly Recommend!!!

  Selena is incredibly talented, very sweet and personable! We showed her some inspiration images for our wedding cake and were very impressed with her prompt response with several sketches of her interpretation for it. The cake looked gorgeous and the flavors were absolutely mind blowing!! She was a joy to work with and I highly recommend Vanilla & the Bean!!!

  Thank You!

  What can I say about V&TB? We are so thrilled they made our wedding cake. From the very first conversation I knew Selena just had to be our wedding cake designer and now friend! We collaborated ideas with Selena, she sketched the most beautiful design I’d ever seen and let me tell you, the cake was a replica. Absolutely stunning. Every detail was immaculate. She was so responsive and helpful. Let’s not even get started on the taste!!!!!!! Guests still talk about the Olive Oil cake. Phenomenal is an understatement. We’d book her ten times over again.

  You will be mind blown

  Selena doesn’t just make cakes, she makes art. She has such a strong passion for creating designs and truly is amazing at it. If you’re wanting to create a memory and moment that you will remember forever, invest in Vanilla & the Bean.

  Talented and amazingly delicious!

  Selena was just an absolute WONDER to work with! Richard and I were so lucky to have come by her work. I love to bake myself, so I wanted to be sure the cake was one of the highlights of our wedding - and it was! Selena was great from start to finish. She accommodated our tasting last minute, and even brought our cake to our rental property to taste (what service)!! Selena was always super responsive to my emails, and accommodating to any requests for our cake, from the design to the number of layers to include. In addition to being amazingly delicious (artisanal style baking), her cake was absolutely STUNNING! We could not have been happier with the end result. Highly recommend her services to anyone in the Savannah area - you will not regret it! Top notch service, style and taste!

  Favorite Vendor!

  I cannot say enough good things about Selena with Vanilla and the Bean! Not only was our cake an absolute work of art, it was INCREDIBLY delicious. Selena has unique and different flavors and they all taste amazing. It was so hard to choose just a couple for our cake. Above everything else, she is an absolute gem of a person and was such a pleasure to work with. From her creative ideas, to her genuine excitement about our day, to her flexibility with tastings, she made every interaction so pleasant. Anyone looking for a cake for ANY occasion in the Savannah area should check her out. You won't regret it!
