    • 2012 March 11, Elliw Gwawr, Dw i'n caru cacs bach:
      Dwi’n chwyrn fy marn ynglŷn â sut yn union y dylai cacs bach fod. Maen nhw i fod yn syml ac yn blaen, felly plîs peidiwch â rhoi sbeis ynddyn nhw. A pheidiwch â hyd yn oed sôn am y rhai da chi’n gallu eu prynu gyda jam yn y canol, hollol hurt!
      I hold strong opinions as to what Welsh cakes should be like. They are supposed to be simple and plain, so please don't put spice in them. And don't even mention the ones you can buy with jam in the middle, totally stupid!
