"I like Welsh cakes because you don't have the stress of
wondering if they'll rise or not, like a souffl茅 or scones or
cup cakes. When you're making Welsh cakes, you always
look like a very good baker - mistake free. They're good for
cooking with young children: they can help with the mixing,
dye them with food colouring (green was my favourite), cut
shapes out of the mixture, pick out the raisins and sprinkle
them with flour. You don't even have to cook them very
long - I love half baked Welsh cakes!"
