Wedding & Party Favours
Handmade with Love in Wales
Planning your special day means thinking about every little detail, including the moments guests take home with them. At Wilfreds, we bake the treats. You decide how to present them.
Our Welsh cakes and shortbreads arrive in catering boxes, freshly baked using traditional family recipes and premium local ingredients, including our beautifully rich Shirgar salted Welsh butter. From there, how you package and present them is entirely up to you, a ribbon-tied cellophane bag, a kraft favour box, a paper cone with a handwritten tag. Simple or elaborate, the choice is yours.
Most of our treats can be frozen in advance, so there's one less thing to think about on the day.
This is how your order arrives - fresh, bulk-packed and ready for you to present however you like.
