    Amazing experience with VG Donut

    We used VG for our recent wedding and couldn’t have been happier. My family has been going to VG Donut for years during our annual Cardiff-by-the-Sea trips, so I was ecstatic when I found out they also did wedding cakes. We ordered a small 2 tier cake (fresh strawberry+white cake) and a ¼ sheet cake with banana and cream cheese. We also ordered 9 dozen donut bites. The desserts were a HIT! My grandpa is still talking about the doissant donut bites, and there were only a handful of everything left at the end of the night. We did tastings at different bakeries in the San Diego area, but VG won hands down for their pricing, consistency, professionalism, and most of all – taste!

    Wedding dessert bar of our dreams

    We are massive fans of VG's donuts so we obviously had to use them for our wedding desserts. As always, everything was fresh and delicious and looked beautiful. Plus, delivery was prompt and seamless.

    Best wedding desserts

    We ordered our wedding cake plus donut and brownie bites from VG's, it was all really delicious! They also made sure delivery to our venue at the San Diego Safari Park was flawless, which was not an easy feat. Their pricing was also very reasonable. We got lots of compliments on the cake, and they allowed us to get a different flavor for each layer. We got chocolate cake with raspberry jam, marble cake with strawberry preserves, and banana cake with fresh banana. The sample cakes were also huge and only $5 for each cake (back in 2021 at least). The donut bites were also really good (especially the glazed buttermilk). They were easy to communicate with throughout the entire wedding process, and were very understanding when we had delays with our wedding when I went through a serious illness. I would definitely recommend them for cake/donuts!

    Best Desserts!

    Aside from our unique cake, carrot cake with dulcet de luche filing, VG Bakery also provided other desserts that everyone loved! I was sad that I didn’t get to taste the pumpkin cheesecake blondies but luckily had taken home leftovers; even 2 days later the desserts were very moist and delicious! Thank you VG Bakery!

    Best wedding cake!

    We had the most delicious wedding cake from VG! The red velvet flavor (and all the others we tasted) was perfection. Sara was a dream to work with - extremely impressed with her service and the ease of everything. Thank you so much!!!

    Delicious!! (August 2022 San Diego Wedding)

    We chose VG’s to provide the desserts and cake for our August 2022 wedding and everything was delicious! Sara from VG’s set up a tasting for us to try different cake flavors and dessert options (doughnuts, cookies, brownies, cake pops etc) and following the tasting guided us through how many desserts we should order for our guest count. We ended up selecting an array of devil's food doughnuts, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, mini-eclairs, and doughnut holes along with a small two-tiered white cake with fresh strawberry filling and buttercream frosting. She also made sure to coordinate with our planner to deliver the desserts to our venue on time and without any issues. After the wedding, several of our guests commented on how delicious the cake was and how they loved each of the desserts they tried. My partner and I didn’t get to eat enough of the cake so we decided that our anniversary tradition will be to visit VGs every year to order a cake for us to share! I grew up visiting VGs on the weekends for doughnuts and it was very special to have them be a part of our wedding.

    Delicious Wedding Cake & Donuts!

    We were so happy we chose VG Donut & Bakery for our wedding day! It was an amazing experience from the beginning of our initial conversation with Sara to the cake tasting and day of wedding! The cake was everything we could have expected and we received so many compliments from our guests! We also ordered donuts which were a huge hit. Sara was a true joy to work with as she was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. Would highly recommend to any couple getting married!

    Beautiful, delicious wedding desserts.

    VG was the dessert for my wedding. The donuts were as delicious as they were beautiful. I appreciate that they provided a gluten-free cookie option for some of our guests. They delivered the donuts for a small fee, which was nice. Communicating with VG leading up to our wedding was a breeze – and their staff were so friendly. I grew up eating VG Donuts, and it was so special to have them at my wedding.

    VG Bakery was amazing- our guests loved our desserts!

    After 2 postponements (read 3 wedding dates) due to covid, we finally had our wedding on 4/16/22. We had many dessert tasting and we ultimately went with VG bakery due to taste and quality! Throughout our postponements VG bakery was very professional, flexible, and communicative which made a stressful situation of postponing our wedding less stressful. We hade cakes, cookies, brownies, and donut bites and they were a hit! Our guests, as well as ourselves, loved them! It was such a hit that we actually did not get to have any of the cookies/brownies/donuts because they ran out so quickly. The staff was responsive and easy to work with. The cakes/desserts are also very reasonably priced for how delicious they were. Thanks VG bakery!

    VG Bakery is the best!

    VG catered our wedding at the end of March and it was seriously amazing! We ordered a two-tier Chocolate Cake with Mocha Filling and a variety of donuts and they were all absolute perfection! All of our guests were in heaven and came up to me to ask where I got them from because they already wanted more! Even people who don't like cake inhaled theirs. VG was so easy to work with and made everything seamless. Sara, the event manager, was so kind and really took great care of us. Thanks again, VG!!

    Best wedding dessert bar!

    Truly the BEST donuts!! We had our wedding cake and donut bar for our wedding from VGs and could not have loved it more. Our guests would not stop raving about the donuts and donut holes!! The VG team was amazing to work with and plan our cake/dessert bar with. They did our smaller cake for our wedding during COVID and then made our larger one for our delayed celebration. If you need a donut on a random week or need hundreds of donuts like we did, I could not recommend them more. Their donut holes are HUGE and our guests got to enjoy a ton and then take some home with them for later. Truly my husband and I’s favorite donuts!!

    We loved our Dessert Table!!!

    We are so glad we went with VG Donuts for our wedding desserts! My now-husband and I really wanted to do a dessert bar along with a smaller traditional sized cake and VG made our dreams come true. They worked with me to figure out how many desserts I should get given our guest list and also helped me stay within our budget. We also got to try the items before ordering which was SUCH a fun experience as well. On the day of the wedding, everything arrived on-time and absolutely beautifully. People raved about everything! I will definitely be recommending VG to everyone I know.

    Amazing Dessert!

    I cannot recommend VG's enough for your wedding day. The communication beforehand is clear and concise. The desserts are INCREDIBLE. One of my favorite bakeries in southern California, and we were so happy to be able to have them for our wedding in La Jolla.

    Delicious and Easy!

    First of all these are the best doughnuts there are. Like many people, we were supposed to get married in 2020 but had to postpone. VG was flexible and made it easy to reschedule. We decided somewhat last minute to add on delivery and they were flexible with that too. The doughnuts were delicious and reasonably priced. Everyone loved them!

    The best desserts!!

    One of our favorite parts of the wedding was our cake and dessert table!! We loved working with VG donuts— not only do their desserts taste amazing but their service is excellent! From the beginning with the cake tasting, we were able to do it at home and it was so fun!! We got a couple flavors and each flavor was so unique and yummy! We loved the banana, chocolate peanut butter and strawberry flavors!! We were able to customize a 3-tier cake perfectly the way we wanted with a tier specially decorated with little Mickeys on it! And the donuts were such a hit!! All our guests were raving about them and we were so happy we went with vg! We would definitely recommend them and can’t wait to use them for future events! 😍

    Fantastic Cake & Dessert Bar

    VG Donuts is actually one of our local favorites and we knew we had to hire them for our big day! They did not disappoint with our small cake for cutting and dessert bar! They were so quick to respond, reasonability priced, assisted with deciding on final counts, have a great variety, and everything was a hit! I highly recommend using them!

    Amazing and delicious

    VG donut was at the top of our list for wedding cake vendors when my husband and I were planning our wedding. We were in a time crunch to get a tasting in before my Husband deployed and the staff at VG made coordinating the tasting very easy. We were able to pick up the cake from the location and taste at home. Both flavors we tasted were so amazing we couldn't decide so we went with both for our wedding cake!
    The cake itself is one of the most delicious cakes I think I have ever had. My husband is not a huge cake and frosting enthusiast but he LOVED the marble cake with oreo filling, leading up to the wedding he kept mentioning how he could not wait to have it again. Our guests raved the whole weekend about just how delicious the cake was!
    I was impressed with how beautiful the cake came out. I wanted simple and elegant to match out wedding decor and the design really delivered and met all my expectations. VG made it super easy to choose designs and were so helpful in coming up with the perfect design and size to meet our needs.
    I cannot recommend VG enough if you love dessert as much as I do run don't walk to VG to start planning for your wedding day.

    Been going to VGs since I was ONE years old!

    I remember when VGs was just our local bakery. I have used them for over 20 of my birthdays going up. I am SO excited to be using them for our wedding. I have always had the ability to customize my cakes over the years. They are so easy and pleasant to work with. They have been so flexible with me as we are coming from out of the country now (we live aboard). They will be providing our wedding cake and my bridal shower cake!

    Our dessert bar was a hit!

    The team at VGs was great to work with! We did all of our communication via email and they were friendly and responsive to all of our emails. My husband and I didn’t want a cake for our wedding but loved the idea of having a dessert bar and were pleased with the variety that VGs offered (including their gluten-free options!) We ordered the cake pops, brownie bites, and 3 types of cookies (Snickerdoodle, M&M, and Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip) - all were delicious! Our guests raved about the desserts and we are very happy with our decision to go with VGs for our wedding day!

    Hands down the best

    VG's was the best! As a gluten-free bride, and a groom with a sweet tooth, hiring them was a no-brainer. I didn't want to miss on my wedding desserts, and everything needed to be delicious. We decided to go for a cutting cake and dessert bar, and VG's had several gluten free options (cupcakes, cookies), that we could have in addition to our regular cookies, cupcakes, brownies, and donuts! Not a dessert was left at the end of the night, and we received so many compliments. Highly recommend them for any event. They are great to work with, affordable, have lots of amazingly tasty options, and they even deliver! If you aren't planning a wedding, still go and enjoy all they have to offer.
