About Copper Kettle Bakery

I grew up in South Wales, where mornings were filled with the comforting aroma of fresh baking. My mother, Eileen, and grandmother, Irene, could often be found kneading bread dough and warming the griddle for our beloved Welsh Cakes. I loved helping them cut the perfect circles of dough, and to this day, the scent of allspice and cinnamon instantly takes me back to that kitchen filled with love.

My mother often took me to a quaint village café that served tea, Welsh Cakes, and sweet breads. Every teapot was filled with boiling water from a huge copper kettle. As a child, I would tell my mum, "One day I'm going to open a bakery and call it Copper Kettle Bakery." We dreamed of doing it together, but living 3,000 miles apart made it seem impossible.

After my mother passed away in June 2013, I was unexpectedly laid off from my job. Longing for the taste of home, I began making Welsh Cakes each morning for my sons, Miles and Noah. As I shared them with neighbors and friends, requests for more quickly followed. That's when I realized I had found my calling. In the fall of 2013, Copper Kettle Bakery was born - a decision I've never regretted.

We hope you enjoy our Welsh Cakes as much as we enjoy making them. To learn more about our story and our products, we invite you to explore our videos.
