Surely Welsh cakes are called "pice ar y maen" in Welsh, not "teisen lap", which is something different. Deb 16:56, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I've always heard it as teisen Gymraeg. Is this a north/south thing? Vashti 16:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Finding Welsh cakes

I've just moved to London, and I expected to be able to find Welsh cakes in every Sainsbury's and Tesco... Where can I buy Welsh cakes!? Thanks. LordAmeth 21:17, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

...you can't get them in London? They're in every supermarket here in Cardiff - maybe you should consider a day trip. :) Vashti 09:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, see, that's what I was surprised about. Okay, well, the Canolfan Cymry Llundain is just around the corner. Maybe I'll go bother them. LordAmeth 09:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I have made these with my grandmother since I was born it seems :) The recipe is farely easy, and it makes A LOT of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.9.188 (talk) 00:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

With jam and a pot of tea?

With jam and a pot of tea? Really? Buttered? Split? Never come across anything like that and I can't help but think that this refers to scones rather than proper Welsh Cakes. Still, it does say it's a Valleys thing, in which case can someone from the Valleys give a reference (I want proof!) DewiMR (talk) 23:03, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Welsh speaker needed...

This article describes Welsh cakes, in Welsh, as picau ar y maen, pice bach, cacen gri or teisen radell. And yet the article at cy:WP uses the words teisennau cri. What's the explanation for the different words? Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:42, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeast cake section?

If they use self-raising flour, why are they listed in the Yeast Cake section of the Cake catagory? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.70.170.48 (talk) 15:46, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
