“I want the real Welsh cakes.”
That simple line from a child in Caerphilly has stayed with us, and it says everything about what we do at Cwtch Bakes.
Soon, you’ll be able to buy Welsh cakes online and enjoy the same traditional Welsh baking that has quietly built a loyal following right here in Caerphilly, Wales. Locals know us for our small-batch, handmade Welsh cakes, cooked the old-fashioned way on a griddle, just as they should be.
At Cwtch Bakes, we don’t modernise what doesn’t need changing. Our Welsh cakes are rooted in tradition: soft, lightly spiced, and finished with a gentle sugar coating. They’re the kind of bake that feels like home, whether you grew up in Wales or are discovering it for the first time.
We’ve been humbled by the growing support in Caerphilly, where word of mouth has carried us from kitchen batches to something much bigger. Now we’re preparing to take the next step.
Our online shop is coming soon, making it easier than ever to get the “real Welsh cakes” delivered straight to your door.
And if you can’t wait, come and visit us in Caerphilly, we’d love to see you.
Welsh Cakes have been part of Welsh homes for generations — cooked on a bakestone (or griddle) and shared with family, friends, and weary travellers. At CwtchBakes, we honour those roots with time-tested methods and a pinch of homely comfort in every batch.
Made in small quantities right here in Caerphilly, our cakes are soft, lightly spiced, and griddled the proper way — no shortcuts, no nonsense.
Want to see where the magic happens? Pop down to our bakery at Unit 10, Ffos Caerffili, Caerphilly and treat yourself to some freshly baked Welsh Cakes, straight off the griddle. We love meeting our customers, and there's nothing like that warm, buttery smell filling the air as we bake.
Come say hello, try a flavour or two, and take home a box of goodness that’s baked with heart.
Just follow your nose... or your sat nav!
