Team Vanilla Pod have just got back from the glittering 12th annual Cotswold Life Food and Drink Awards. It was a brilliant evening which truly celebrated the amazing talents and delicious produce we have in the Cotswolds.
Compered by the wonderful Adam Henson, of BBC One's Countryfile fame and Cotswolds Farm Park, the awards ceremony saw over 500 guests applaud the fabulous winners and runners-up, with 2014 Cotswold Food Hero going to Emily Watkins, Chef Proprietor of The Kingham Plough (congratulations Emily).
Before the awards had even started we were treated to a champagne reception and a scrumptious four-course meal, which saw a fish starter, a heavenly lamb main and yummy pavlova for dessert - all locally sourced of course.
At the end of the evening we got to take home the most amazing goodie bag, check out all the loot! Can you spot The Vanilla Pod Bakery cupcake? We were one of proud suppliers of the goodie bags, sharing our yummy little Victoria Sandwich Cupcakes and Fresh Strawberry Buttercream Cupcakes.

We were sat on a great table made up of super local businesses, including Ross & Ross Foods, Gaudio Awards and Silverball PR. Following the trend set at the 2014 Oscars we thought it only right to have an obligatory #selfie! So here is our table!

The Cotswold Food and Drink Awards is a great event that really champions local businesses and local produce. Thank you to all who voted and please continue to buy local - who knows Vanilla Pod may even be up for an award next year!
