Let them eat cake … in North Yorkshire!

NORTH YORKSHIRE has proclaimed itself Britain's Capital of Cake, championing 50 tastes of cake and the places where one of the nation's favourite treats can be enjoyed.

Each year thousands of homemade cakes are served to and eaten by the seven million holidaymakers and day-trippers who visit the North York Moors and coast.

The North York Moors Tourism Network, a voluntary organization supporting more than 400 tourism and related businesses, together with 

the North York Moors National Park Authority (NYMNPA), are championing the region’s cake-capital

claim.

Catriona McLees, NYMNPA's head of promotion and tourism explains: ‘Our prowess in cake-making probably dates back to the Vikings, who are said to have invented Yorkshire Parkin, the ginger tea-bread which remains one of the most popular cakes across the region today.

‘We've created a website listing 50 of the most popular types of cake eaten and the places where some of the tastiest treats can be enjoyed throughout the North York Moors and on the coast.’
