About Tunnock's

Tunnock's is the Uddingston bakery Thomas Tunnock founded in December 1890, still in the family's hands. His son Archie, needing something with a longer shelf life than a cake, created the Caramel Wafer in 1952; the Snowball, Caramel Log and Teacake followed by 1956. Boyd Tunnock, the founder's grandson, developed the Teacake and was knighted in 2019.

Tunnock's is the mid-morning biscuit, the one in the tin at work. The caramel wafer wants a strong cup behind it: a builder's-strength breakfast blend or a good Assam has the malt to cut through caramel and milk chocolate. The teacake is sweeter again and suits a plainer everyday black tea.
