Making the cakes
Tip
My mum was welsh.
Valentines doesnt need to be about romantic love. Welsh cakes, to me, mean family love, love of tradition and memories that evoke the feeling of love or to be loved.
These are DELICIOUS!!!! Please make and enjoy these 
Welsh cakes are a traditional sweet treat.
National Cwtch Day (cuddle) is 25 January.
St Davids Day (Patron Saint of Wales) is 1 March.
Welsh wooden love spoons are given as presents at weddings and milestone birthdays.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
