For over 50 years we've been bringing a smile to our visitors faces with our freshly baked cakes. Every day at 5pm our guests arrive back from their adventures to find fresh cakes and piping hot tea or coffee waiting for them. Over the years Plas y Brenin's cakes have become legendary and seem to be a lasting memory that many share.
Now you can make our cakes in the comfort of your own home as our chefs reveal the recipes that have been satisfying the hungriest of outdoor enthuisasts for decades.
