The only way I can describe this Bara Brith, is addictive! Whilst working with Mel on the branding for this project I must have consumed about 10 whole 2lb loaves and I still could eat more. It’s no wonder my new company is called Two Fat Men!

This barabrith surpassed all my expections. The moistness of the fruit, the taste, the need to have another slice totally amazed me. Scrummy! Thank you bakedbymel

Not being a native Welshman i’ve only been introduced to BaraBrith over the last few years and after trying a few different ones i finally found Mel’s. WOW once you taste it you won’t settle for anything else. But be warned, you won’t ever be able to have just one slice. Thank you Mel, i wish i could give this more than 5*’s.

Simply the best Bara Brith ever. Stuck for a Valentines gift I ordered one for my hubby, and in his words ‘Best present ever’. No one else got a look in, the whole loaf was gone in no time. Birthdays, Christmas, special occasions now sorted. Definetly 5*.

We received this as a surprise gift from our lovely friends in Cardiff. (Wow this was gorgeous. Very moist – esp with butter). We have had to ration ourselves as it would have been gone in a flash, especially by a certain Scotsman!- However, I have now ordered the Walnut and Ale Bara Brith, this was the first, it certainly won’t be the last.
Thank you N and P for introducing us to this and to you Mel of course.

It’s the best Bara Brith I’ve had very moist full of fruit and nuts would certainly recommend to anyone

I was sent one of these my a friend to help me get though lockdown with a newborn baby. It was absolutely amazing. I think it lasted less than 24 hours before my husband and I had eaten the entire thing. I have now sent one to my parents and intend to spread the word and continue this baked goods chain reaction!

Thank you Mel.
Since moving to Wales 8 months ago I have sent a number of Bara Brith to my friends and family in England. ALL the feed back has been of surprise and delight and really positive about the bara brith itself. Ideal for a gift or just to send as a treat.

This was more then my expectations. Mel’s cakes are to DIE for. Worth every penny in my opinion! I wanted an original Bara-brith, because i grew up having lovely holidays in North Wales visiting my extended family. For a very long time not and to my sadness, I have not experienced the delicious taste of a traditional Welsh Bara-brith, the shop ones in KENT are just not the same. Then I found this website, which I was drawn too, because Mel, lives in Wales despite being from Essex, I knew with certainty that she would have the local knowledge of how to bake the perfect Bara-Brith. Well, I received my cake yesterday, the packaging was lovely, well, presented and then for the taste test. My verdict was, I was instantly brought back to my Welsh Roots and the recipe/taste was SPOT ON, it could have been made by my Nan (whom I will add, was an amazing cook/baker and very OLD SCHOOL WELSH TRADITIONALIST! I highly recommend Mel, yes, more expensive then in the shop, but anything that is well made, always is. I will buy from Mel all day long over shop brought bara-brith, when it is that good, in my eyes and stomach and for the childhood memories, its priceless!

An amazing experience that exceeded expectations! Hours of internet searching ended with arriving on Mel’s website and the story we read completely sold us on the passion and quality behind the product. The cake arrived beautifully presented in its box, and Mel had even taken the trouble to include extra wrapping of film to ensure the cake arrived in perfect condition even with postal delays, and a handwritten note of explanation.
The Bara Brith was a wonderful taste experience! It is full of excellent quality fruit, beautifully moist and perfectly baked. Our only complaint was that it was so good, it didn’t last long! We will, though, be back for more!
Mel certainly extolls the virtues of small, craft businesses; excellent products made with care and customer focused. A pleasure to deal with and a bigger pleasure to eat!
