Favourite wedding suppliers #5 - Fabulous Welshcakes

Yes, I realise that this is a ridiculously delayed blog post... I got married 15 months ago! However, I ate a welshcake from the lovely Fabulous Welshcakes a few days ago which reminded me that I still hadn't got around to blogging about our beautiful wedding favours.

We spotted a Fabulous Welshcakes stand at a wedding fayre fairly early on in the planning process and decided (after eating too many samples) that welshcake favours would work really well at our wedding. I arranged everything by email with Jo at Fabulous Welshcakes and all my questions were dealt with quickly and efficiently. We decided to go for a sealed bag of three heart-shaped welshcakes for each guest, with three different flavours - traditional, lemon and white chocolate, and dark chocolate and orange. We also ordered gluten free favours for our guests with dietary requirements - nothing was too much trouble for Fabulous Welshcakes.

We collected our favours from the Cardiff Bay store the day before the wedding and took them home to tie on the ribbons. Although Fabulous Welshcakes offered the option of supplying and tying the ribbon themselves, our colour theme was very specific so we sourced the ribbon ourselves. We did have a 'wedding panic' moment when we ran out of ribbon halfway through tying the favours, but luckily we found an identical shade in Cardiff Market!

Our favours looked beautiful on the day and everyone commented that they were a nice touch and something very different (and very Welsh!). Most importantly, they tasted amazing.

I'm now craving a welshcake... why isn't Fabulous Welshcakes open at 6pm on a Sunday evening?
