The Welsh Baker

Our office was gifted with samples of the chocolate chip, traditional, and raspberry flavors of cakes today. Everybody loved them. Yum! The flavors are so good in each one. Even people who never eat the office sweets tried them and loved them. They taste so fresh and homemade. Thank you, thank you!

I found the Welsh Baker at the Scottish games in Pleasanton, Ca a few years ago. Since then I have been ordering these delicious treats online. The welsh cakes are moist and delicious, exactly how I remember them being on my trip to Wales. My favorite are the Currant. The chocolate chip are one of my daughter’s favorites. We’ve tried other flavors and have never been disappointed. Try the shortbread too! Yummy.

I ordered the plain Welsh cookies when I really wanted the currants, and these folks were kind enough to throw the ones I wanted in for free! And they are really fantastic; fast and fresh.

Tried the lemon shortbread at the Ojai Day fair and YUM! Can’t wait to try more.

I tried these delicious little cakes at this weekend’s Seaside Highland Games, in Ventura. What a fantastic little treat they were! Low in calorie, sugar, trans fat and sodium, they made the perfect accompaniment to a cup of robust Glengettie tea. (*note — originally made for Welsh Miners to stave off the bitter cold in the region, this tea is not for sissies!) The Welsh Baker makes several different varieties of Welsh Cakes, but I tried the currant and they were wonderful! I highly recommend these delightful little treasures. Order some online, or better yet, take in the full experience by visiting The Welsh Baker at one of the myriad fairs and festivals they frequent. Mwynhau!

Love these tasty nutritious bites. Was first introduced to them at the Renaissance festival in Los Angeles. One small bite and you are hooked for life.

I love these deliciously different cakes, and they get the orders shipped FAST.

These cakes are absolutely scrumptious! I admit, I was a little reluctant when my friend dragged me over to their tent at a fair, fearing it would be some dry bland tea cake, but my friend was right. They’re delicious, sweet without being too sweet, and not dry.
I always buy several packages every time I see them.

Saw these at the Ventura County Fair this weekend, wasn’t sure what these pretty little cakes were so I had to try some. Hands down one of my favorite foods now! The sample I tried was some sort of orange flavor and even though I’m not a big fan of orange, it was pretty good. So I bought a pack of chocolate chip warmed and I was in heaven. 100% recommend

I’ve had these a few times at the Montrose Farmers’ Market. They are really good. The texture is something between a scone and shortbread (which they also sell). Right now, my favorite flavor is «The Patriot,» which is a limited edition with cherries, blueberries, and white chocolate. However, all of the flavors are tasty and my favorite is usually the last one I’ve had! You can eat them straight out of the package but they are best warmed up a bit. I just ordered some online and they give you free shipping, so I’m happy I don’t have to wait for the next Market :) With the e-​mail club discount of 15%, they ended up being about $ 1 each, which I think is a very good value.

Discovered this company this weekend when my husband & I went to the Scottish Festival at the Queen Mary. When I saw their sign «Welsh Cakes» I was wondering what they were and I am sure so were others because this booth had a few signs with words like ‘try a sample’ and ‘ever wondered what Welsh cakes are?’.
Well I have never heard of Welsh cakes before and thought why not and decided to come up to their booth and get a sample. My husband and I got a sample of their cinnamon Welsh cake and also of their currant (kind of taste like raisins) Welsh cake. Both our samples were nice and warm (the best way to eat them) and had a nice soft chew to it. Really these Welsh cakes remind me of a thick pancake (but in a good way).
I decided to purchase a 4 pack of the maple pecan and a 4 pack of the cinnamon flavor. There were other flavors to choose from but figured I would go with something of a familiar flavor. For (1) 4 pack of any flavor it cost $ 4.75. There was a special promotion going on in which if you sign up for their fan club (free to join) they will give you an additional $ 1 off if you buy 2 of more packs. So my total came out to $ 8.50. The guy who rang up our order gave us a full size chocolate covered Welsh cake to eat (a new item they are offering, and only 2 chocolate covered Welsh cakes come in a pack instead of 4 and for the price of $ 4.75). My husband and I really enjoyed these cakes, which didn’t have to be warmed and can be consumed right out of the packaging.
Anyways, the next day I heated up 2 of the maple pecan Welsh cakes in the microwave for 15 – 20 seconds (anything longer will burn them… I unfortunately learned that the hard way) and it had a nice flavor. But would have preferred raisins added to this Welsh cake to give it some more texture and added sweetness because the maple flavor was very subtle. The cinnamon Welsh cake is the favorite of the 2 that we bought because it just had the right amount of sweetness. You can eat these Welsh cakes by itself, but really taste even better with some jam (and chocolate doesn’t hurt either). My husband wasn’t too keen on the sample he had with currants in them, but he isn’t much of a raisin type of guy (I didn’t get a sample of this).
Overall, pretty good and glad I got to try a new food product. I think these Welsh cakes are a bit more than what I want to pay so I probably wouldn’t be rushing out to purchase these the next time I see this booth, but they a tasty breakfast treat that one should try at least once in their life time.

I visited the welsh baker at art in the park in boulder city nevada. What a wonderful product so light and airy. The variety was magnificent. Hats off to the welsh baker!!!

Love these delightful little cakes. I am Welsh myself and can confirm that these are about as original as they get! Regularly buy via FB and their website. They are always speedy and efficient and the cakes are super fresh! Pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds and then spread with butter for pure heaven!
