    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...

    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!!!

    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!

    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...

    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!!

    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.

    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! 😍

    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...

    SO Delicious

    OMG VG Donut is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! All my guests raved about the donuts and cake for our wedding. Janette was so helpful through the entire process. We are huge baseball fans and wanted a baseball on the top tier so Janette came up with a great idea on how to get that look without weighing the top tier down which we were so happy about. She collaborated with the bakers to make it happen and it turned out exactly how we imagined. We opted to get the bigger size cake and we are so glad we did because all of our guests went back for second piece of cake and by the end of the night there...

    Delicious Cake

    Janette was amazing! Was was fun and easy to work with. I sent her a couple of photos of what we wanted our wedding cake to look like and their amazing bakers made our vision come true. The cake was delicious! I even got my shower cake from VG's. I have been going to VG's for over 30 years and they have the best everything!

    VG's is the best!

    VG's is a staple in the community, so would you expect anything less? Janette was awesome to work with and made numerous changes to our quote, without complaint. They are the best price around if you choose to buy cake, and VG's has the best brownie bites I've ever eaten! We received many compliments from wedding guests on our dessert table.

    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!

    Wedding desserts 3/23/19

    We used VG Donuts for our dessert table at our wedding and for our cake! It was so amazing and very professional. The tasting was fun and we got to take home 2 whole cakes (so fun!) We got donuts, cookies, cupcakes and donut bites from them for our dessert table. Everything was delicious and several people mentioned this! We were able to take leftovers home! Yummy!!! Thank you and would definitely recommend them for any event!

    Dessert Bar of our DREAMS!

    The team at VG are so amazing to work with, and their dessert options are the BEST! Our guests loved our dessert bar and the variety of options we had - donut bites, cake pops, eclairs, lemon bars - it was SUCH a hit!

    Pumpkin Cupcakes and Piped Succulents

    As soon as we got engaged, the decision to have cupcakes from VGs as our dessert was an unspoken, mutual decision made by both my fiance and myself (hopefully a good omen for a lifetime of mutual decisions to come). We reached out to Janette at VGs, and within about a week of signing the contract with our venue, we had our cutting cake and cupcakes decided upon too. Janette set up a tasting for us including a small version of our cutting cake and all of their cupcake flavors (except for Pumpkin which is only available seasonally). We loved everything we tasted, so the hardest part about the whole process was deciding on the breakdown of the different...

    We got donuts instead of wedding cake for our wedding. Perfect Choice, and VG didn't disappoint. I definitely over ordered, so venue staff got a nice little surprise. haha!! Donuts, Cookies and Cream Puffs...oh so good.

    Great Dessert Bar!

    VG Donut catered our dessert bar and we couldn't have been happier! We had donut bites, cake pops, brownie bites and a selection of cookies and everything was to die for. Our guests raved about the desserts and many took some home with them at the end of the night.

    We also got our wedding cake done by VGs and it was exactly what we were looking for. We sent over a pictures of different cakes that we liked and that matched it EXACTLY. We couldn't have asked for a better desset station!

    VG Donut & Bakery provided our wedding cake and entire dessert bar (donuts, bars, cupcakes) and people are still talking about how delicious everything was! We actually upped our order from the recommended amount for our headcount and STILL went home without any leftovers! The venue staff had to stash some desserts in our room just to make sure we got some!
    Janette was extremely helpful from the start, always responsive to our emails. My husband and I both grew up eating VG donuts so it was extra special to have them at our wedding.
    The delivery fee all the way to Temecula was very reasonable and everything arrived in perfect condition.
    And two extra perks of...
