Fabulous Welshcakes
Jo Roberts had a dream and the award-winning Fabulous Welshcakes in Cardiff Bay is the result.
Hot off the griddle from a traditional welshcake recipe using Welsh butter and free range eggs, flavours such as Chocolate & Orange and Lemon & Pistachio beckon from the shop with their delicious aroma. What's more, gluten free welshcakes are available.
The shop is a real treat and sells Welsh crafts, local jams and preserves plus gorgeous woven woolen gifts from Melin Tregwynt and ceramics by Keith Brymer Jones. Wedding favours and corporate gifts are available on request.
