Prince Charles has revealed his love of crumpets on a visit to an award-winning bakery in Wrexham.

The prince and the Duchess of Cornwall also flipped some baking Welsh cakes when they officially opened the new £4m Baking Academy and Innovation Centre built by the Village Bakery at their site on the Wrexham Industrial Estate.

The family firm, which celebrated its 80th anniversary last year, now employs around 400 people and was named Wales's fastest growing company in 2013.

The Royal couple saw the Welsh Cakes production line in action. The traditional delicacies are sold across the UK, and as far afield as Hong Kong and Singapore.

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall were invited to flip the Welsh Cakes.

Company chairman Alan Jones said Prince Charles did "a great job at flipping Welsh Cakes, so much so that he can now also claim to be the Prince of Welsh Cakes."
