This was one of the food vendors we tried while we were at the Dublin St. Patrick's Day Festival. Located in Santa Clarita, this couple specializes in Welsh baked goods, which are sold at festivals and on their website. Unlike other food vendors, they had a dedicated tent with tables and chairs for customers. Our order: The "Full Monty" ($20.00): Sweet Plate + Savory Plate *Celtic Plate: 2 Welsh Scones, clotted cream, and lemon curd +Crumbly and soft, these were some of the best scones I've eaten! Very delicate as it cracked when I picked it up. +Full of currants, which are the traditional flavor. +Imported from the UK, the clotted cream was creamy and slightly tart: It reminded me of a lighter sour cream. +Imported from the UK, the lemon curd was tangy and not too sweet. *Savory Plate: Scotch Egg with Branston Relish +Imported from the UK, the Branston Relish was delicious! Flavor wise, it tasted like BBQ sauce mixed with sweet relish. +Not too salty -I've always wanted to try a Scotch Egg, so when I saw this, I knew I had to order it. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment b/c it was premade and not freshly fried. The outside was soft and not crunchy. -Sausage was kinda mushy and not very flavorful. Welsh Ploughman's ($9.00): 4 Savory Welsh Cakes, Branston Relish, cheddar, and grapes +We originally wanted the Tomato Bacon flavor, but they were out so Cheese Onion it was. These were quite tasty as they were both savory and sweet. +Imported from the UK, the Branston Relish was delicious! Flavor wise, it tasted like BBQ sauce mixed with sweet relish. +Grapes were an unexpected surprise since they weren't mentioned on the menu. They were sweet and juicy. -Cheese was prepackaged and it looked like Colby-Jack instead of cheddar. *Verdict: Except for the Scotch Egg, everything else was delicious. Service was friendly. I had some questions about the menu, and the co-owner helping me was patient. I could tell the wife-husband duo was passionate about their craft and I liked how they had signs on their tables describing the Celtic Tea Experience. read more

The welsh cakes are always delicious and the scotch eggs are amazing. Wonderful staff.

Got a chance to pick these up at the Renaissance Faire stall. Got a few different types of welsh cakes, lemon poppy, chocolate chip, sprinkles and original. They are all delicious but even better warmed up and topped with the clotted cream. read more

All I can say is wow! I had never heard of welsh cakes but they had a stand at an event and I was hooked! A round shape of deliciousness , closest thing I can liken it to is a scone but different . Luckily you can order online and have them shipped to you. They freeze well so stock up. They release seasonal and special flavors and even have gluten free items. Follow on Facebook for special flavor announcements . I've sent these as gifts and the recipients are always pleased . Lemon poppy seed is one of my favorites but I've never had a flavor they wasn't good . They are hand made and made with quality ingredients they don't cut corners They go well with coffee and tea. read more

My sister and I went to open house on a Saturday morning in late February. It is located in Valencia in a manufacturing area near Magic Mountain. The husband is one of owners is very nice and waited for 9:30am slotted time. We were given history of how he started and they are only company to make welch cakes outside of Welch. Then we were taken to the small kitchen of where they make the welsh cakes. Next we got to see how the cakes were made and greeted by the wife. Lastly we were given samples and it was delicious and buttery with sample of slotted cheese. It is similar to a scone. The total calories 100 per cake. They used apple sauce and butter in the ingredients. Overall the staff are nice and I purchased several flavors-cinnamon, classic, lemon poppy, etc. FYI, If you check in on yelp, 20% off at the shop. read more

Tasty, interesting concept. I'd never tried a Welsh Cake before until I found them at the Harvest Festival. The owner offered us samples hot off the "griddle" (they were just warmed up). It was warm, kind of doughy, but like a less greasy scone in texture. Not as flaky either. The best way I can describe it is a cross between a scone and an English muffin, and they are sure to let you know that every one of their cakes is hand-griddled rather than baked, which is cool. At the HF booth, I saw they had other related products like scones, chocolate-covered cakes, and even gluten-free varieties. The prices were also "fan prices" aka cheaper than you'd find online--one package of 4 cakes for $5. I purchased the Chocolate Chip one because I wasn't 100% a fan of the Cherry Almond. I wish I hadn't. The chocolate had a very artificial children's cereal flavor to it from the soy filler. Another way to illustrate the flavor would be if you bought an off-brand package of chocolate chip cookies from the Dollar Tree. The cake did warm up nicely in the microwave and I agree it tastes way better heated up than cold, but the texture of what I purchased was completely off compared to what I sampled at the festival. Mine were dry and stale, and not from being cold. There were parts that were chewy and doughy like I'd expected, but other pockets that were brittle and dried out, like stale bread. There was no reconstituting those parts in the microwave. There was also no expiration date on my package even though the website guarantees every package will have one. So I'm guessing mine was just old, but there's no way of knowing. I love supporting small businesses and was glad I got to try Welsh Cakes, as there aren't many companies on the market. However, I would only repurchase from The Welsh Baker if I could guarantee they cakes were fresh. read more

Oh my goodness! These just randomly popped up on my Amazon page and I knew I had to have them. They arrived 2 days later and I tore right into them. I got 2 packages of blueberry & currant (4 of each in one package). I don't normally like currants, but these changed my mind. I love how these are lightly dusted with fine sugar! I can't say enough about how tasty they are! I ate all of them myself and immediately ordered another box. I'm excited to try the lemon poppy & gingerbread, in addition to the clotted cream and lemon curd. These will make great gifts, too! Thank you Denise and Joe and your hardworking staff for making these perfect little heavenly snack cakes! Pictures coming soon! Cuz I have ideas! read more

I found out about this little gem of SCV last year and have had the chance to try several of their different products from Scotch Eggs to scones and I have to say that each one of them has been excellent. They don't have a retail shop, but you can buy online or if you ever see them in a fair you absolutely need to visit them and buy some Welsh cakes, scones or ANYTHING they are selling. You will absolutely enjoy and want more. read more

We were looking for some treats for my daughters class project/feast and found this family owned bakery. Even tough it is a commercial kitchen without a store front, they welcomed us in, showed us the kitchen and provided us with some history or their product and how they make them. It was wonderful. We got some Welsh Cakes, Scottish Shortbread and Scotch Eggs. Everything was a hit!!! Definitely this is the place to go for traditional and delicious items! read more

The Welsh Baker - In the kitchen!! - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

i actually sampled the welsh baker's wares at the renaissance faire in irwindale, california. SO good. it really is a cross between a scone and a pancake. i HEAVILY reccommend the ande's war haul (sort of a chocolate mint) flavor, as well as the cinnamon and the currant. i wish this place was a little closer to where i actually live because i'd come here OFTEN for teatime snacks. i hope they return to the renfaire next year! read more

I know Joe and Denise from The Scottish Games. I always love to get my fix of Scotch Eggs and Chocolate Chip Welsh Cakes there. When they announced the new Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cakes I had to order some!! Thank you for the amazing service (and extras)!! I love the Peanut Butter cakes!! read more

This company is local to us, so we're very lucky. We can't say enough about them. Absolutely delicious. Every flavor is delicious but our favorites are chocolate chip, cinnamon and the brown sugar wheat free. The currant is amazing as well. You'll get addicted like we are! read more

A definite must try for those that enjoy scones and tea. I ordered Welsh Cakes. I've never tried a Welsh Cake before but I love a good scone with a cup of tea. The Maple Pecan Welsh Cake is absolutely delicious! I took a nibble before heating and it was good. Then I microwaved for 10 seconds and it was scrumptious! Didn't need jam, clotted or double cream. I'll definitely be buying more. Thank you Welsh Baker for making these scrumptious treats! Shipping was very fast! read more

Good product (welsh cakes). My favorite was the currant flavor. I found it hard to order, it's probably just me. But I would like to suggest an easier way to order on any items from the menu like the scones or the cream without bundling it. People like me are willing to pay premium just so we can customize what we want in our boxes. Thanks for creating quality products. I would like to try the scones next time. read more

The Welsh Baker - Welsh Cakes - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

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. read more

We tried their Welsh cakes at the Granada Hills Street fair and was hooked instantly. The cakes are moist and lightly sweet, and they go really well with coffee or tea. Just a nice treat. We like all the flavors but the faves are the blueberry, almond, and lemon poppy. We got to tour their facility today and sample a few of their offerings including their new chocolate dipped welsh cakes, scotch egg, and sausage roll. So GOOD and such a nice family. read more

I LOVE The Welsh Baker. I first had their Welsh cakes a few years ago at Ren Faire and now I order their products online a few times a year. Theirs are by far the best scones I've had in the US. I recently had an issue with shipping and delivery and Joe and Denise were responsive and offered to send me out a new batch to replace the ones that got damaged. I couldn't be happier with the product and the customer service. They have a loyal customer in me. read more

I discovered Welsh cakes at the Renaissance Faire last year, but I just found out that I can order these online, so I'll be able to have them anytime I want. They are so good! They are a mix between a scone, cookie, and pancake. They have a sweet sugar powder on top. Heat them up with a little butter and a cup of tea, my favorite kind of treat. So far I've only tried the maple pecan and cranberry orange which are both amazing! But now I'll be ordering each flavor to try. read more

I never had a welsh cake before trying these. I can say my favorite to eat in the morning with coffee. I can't say I have a favorite flavor because so far I have liked them all.

Sis and I always stop by to say hello at the Long's Peak Scottish Irish Festival in Estes Park, CO. This year was no exception. So nice to see Denise and Joe Carbone again, and enjoy our special treat in their tent. Then of course we had to take some Welsh Cakes home as well. You won't go wrong with them: https://www.welshbaker.com/ read more

We just received a gift pack in the mail from some friends. We love all the tasty varieties. Reminds us of a trip we took to Wales years ago. Includes some double cream and currant jelly. read more

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. read more

I got my shipment last night and had my very first Welsh cake just now and it's delicious!!! I gave 3 to co-workers and ate the 4th one in the pack. It was a Cherry Almond. It's got just the right amount of sweetness. I didn't warm it up as suggested on the package but I will with the next flavor I try. I also bought 2 "extras", the black current jam and the double cream. I will have the next Welsh cake with the jam and cream too ... I am yet to try the scones. They are thicker than the cakes. There are 2 scones in each pack, instead of 4 for the cakes. Anyhow these are pretty good stuff. I can't believe they are local (in SCV) and I found out about them just recently. Well better late than never and I will be ordering more for sure in the future! read more

Have to give The Welsh Baker five stars for our treats today at the Scot's Fest in Long Beach. We arrived early and our first stop was grabbing a Scotch Egg from TEB. The scotch egg, served with a stick of cheddar cheese and some jam, was very tasty, although I think it would have been even better had it been hotter. The unexpected surprise were their delicious scones. I've had not better, and I've had many. Our service was friendly and prompt. Five stars!! read more

Pro: Delicious Welsh cakes, with a variety of flavors and the Scotch Eggs were perfectly cooked! They also have Double Devon Clotted Cream, Lemon Curd, assorted jellies, good coffee and iced tea. If you have a chance to visit their booth at one of the fairs, it's worth stopping by. Good service and friendly people! www.WelshBaker.com for upcoming events. Con: They have a good variety of scones, but they were a bit salty. read more

The Welsh Baker has been one of my go-to favorite snack providers for years since I found them at a Renaissance festival. I was first drawn to the currant cakes (a favorite of my Welsh grandma) and soon found myself loving all the varieties. The cakes are not too sweet, making for a grown-up treat you don't have to feel bad about. They have fantastic standbys for breakfast (lemon poppy, cranberry orange), snacks (wheat-free oatmeal brown sugar), and desserts (chocolate chip), plus featured flavors in touch with the season that rotate throughout the year (strawberry lemonade, butterscotch brownie, and my all-time favorite bara brith). They also feature scones and griddled shortbread, with chocolate-covered varieties at the holidays, plus add-ons and gift sets to complete your Welsh cake experience (clotted cream, lemon curd, imported tea). They are always quick and accommodating with orders, looping in subscribers to deals like discounted boxes of imperfect cakes and delicious fresh cooked Scotch eggs available for pickup. They also have an open house that they offer - and even if you're just dropping by for a visit or a pick up, it's likely that friendly owner Joe will give you the "nickel tour" and maybe a goodie for the road! Welsh Baker has become a must-visit at Ren Faire and a standy stocking stuffer for my cake-loving family. A wholesome business you can feel good about supporting, run by people who know and love their craft. read more

Wow, these are absolutely delicious I'm always on the lookout for new things to try at the Farmers Market and these little treats fit the bill. I really like the fact that they are all natural and for me no egg in the recipe was a plus. Not what you'd expect when you taste them and the description of "not quite a cookie and not quite a scone" is accurate and surprising once you've had that first bite. I have recommended these to some of my friends many of whom have young children. They're also pleasantly surprised when even their picky eaters like the Welsh cakes. Not too sweet, just the right size for a snack and I feel as if I'm getting a nice value for my money, not to mention the nice selection of flavors. read more

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

The best scone I have ever tried ! They had a stand at the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds and I was blown away by the blueberry scone I had. Perfect texture, perfect sweetness, perfect flavor. Just a perfect scone. Nothing that I have ever tried before. So much so that I took their card and looked them up online. I cannot wait to stop by their retail bakery in Valencia when I pass by that area. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Delicious welsh cakes and scones! My husband is a huge fan of the scotch eggs and my kids always look forward to welsh cakes.

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! read more

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 read more
