Our Story – A Family business

We’re a small family business who are passionate about hand crafting quality, delicious cakes that our customers love.

From our famous sticky almond to our award-winning vegan lemon, chia seed & pistachio, we make all of our scrumptious creations to order in our bakery in South Wales, using our own family recipes and real ingredients – cracking 400 dozen free range eggs by hand each week is truly a labour of love.

How it started…

Clam’s coffee house was established in 1981, in the market town of Abergavenny, South Wales.

We very quickly became popular for our home made cakes.  We started to supply a large Department Store in Cardiff where orders steadily grew.

Our first Great Taste Award came in 1987 for our Sticky Almond Cake, and soon, London’s top cafes were lining up to serve Clam’s cakes. By 1991, Clam’s Handmade Cakes was officially born in Station Enterprises, Abergavenny, where orders poured in non-stop.

We went on to win lots more Great Taste Awards and a True Taste Award for Best Baker and Confectioner for Whisky Fruit Cake.

On the Move

In 1996 we moved to larger premises in the pretty village of Crickhowell with ever increasing orders.

In 2010 we won the Powys Business Award for Excellence in Food Manufacturing.

2014 we had out grown Crickhowell and relocated 7 miles to Ebbw Vale. Our new bakery is fully equipped with a test kitchen and development room.

Award Winning

Don’t just take our word for it: we’re proud to have won 18 Great Taste Awards and a Wales True Taste award.

Dedicated Team

We are a small dedicated team making hand made cakes for discerning customers.

We have stayed true to our origins, cracking real eggs, using real ingredients, baked by individual people, and all our cakes are hand decorated.

Clam’s has a passion for making cakes for discerning customers.

We still use the same gas oven from Clam’s Coffee House in 1981, its great for boiling caramel!
