SoWhether it's something you eat when meeting friends, reserve for celebrations or treat yourself with after a long climb up a big hill, cake can form a very important focal point for a visit! So where are the best places to enjoy cake in the Yorkshire Dales?
I've added some of my favourite tried and tested places below. If you have others you'd like to recommend please do add them in the comments below. It's helpful if you can say where your favourite places are and what makes them so good.
Top of the list has to be the Friday Showstopper created by Brenda every week at the Dales Bike Centre near Reeth. Her creations are incredibly imaginative. The picture features her 'Triple layer bramble hedgerow gin flavoured sponge cake with Yorkshire rhubarb & gin preserve and a lime mascarpone cream topped with blackberry & passion fruit macaroons, thyme & lime zest!'
