About Yvette – a lifelong mission to bring joy through gluten-free baking

Yvette comes from a long line of entrepreneurs – her family has run retail shops in Wales for five generations. The love for craftsmanship and quality runs deep in her roots. From a young age, she found joy in baking – not just out of passion, but also out of necessity. Diagnosed with coeliac disease at the age of two, she quickly learned to make her own gluten-free food in a time when almost nothing suitable was available.

When it was later discovered that all six of her children also have coeliac disease, her motivation grew even stronger. She was determined that they should never have to miss out on anything – no treats, no parties, no flavour. With love and perseverance, she developed her own gluten-free products that truly taste delicious – and word began to spread.

In 2012, Yvette founded her fully gluten-free bakery: The Welsh Bakestone. Together with her family, she worked tirelessly to build her dream, navigating personal challenges and financial crises along the way. What began as a home kitchen evolved into a professional artisan bakery with a webshop, loyal customers, and partnerships with cafés and specialty shops.

What started as a personal mission has now become a professional business with a clear goal:
to let everyone – with or without dietary restrictions – enjoy truly good bread and cake.

And her dream continues.
In the near future, Yvette hopes to open a new gluten-free shop and tearoom – a welcoming place where people can walk in for fresh gluten-free bread, cakes, and a comforting cup of coffee.

A place where joy and flavour come together – for everyone.
