What to expect
Welsh cakes are small, round, spiced griddle cakes studded with currants, and a staple of Welsh baking. Cookery schools and food experiences in and around Cardiff sometimes run classes on making them, along with other Welsh favourites. If you prefer to just sample them, try fresh Welsh cakes on the griddle at Cardiff Market, where stalls bake them to order.
Tips before you go
- Classes are not always available, so check with local cookery schools in advance.
- Fresh Welsh cakes from the market are cheap and delicious.
- Combine with a visit to Cardiff Castle or St Fagans.
