Hi I'm Amanda, founder of, Durham City Cakes, which is known for unique, award winning cakes. I run an all inclusive, premium wedding cake bakery located near Durham City, Durham. Specialising in modern, structured, and 3D wedding cakes. Having 18 years in the wedding Cake industry, i have a wealth of knowledge and experience to ensure your wedding cake journey goes smoothly. Gaurenteed !

Ive heard it said that a cake should taste as good as it looks, which forms the basis of my ethos and I guarantee all my cakes. Using only premium ingredients, I offer a wide range of cake flavour combinations developed over the years, and I'm experienced in catering to those with particular dietary needs, such as gluten-free and vegan.

My mission is to ensure that each cake is unique to each couple, tailored to your specific requirements, and designed just for you.

What the process looks like ?

1. Starting with your initial enquiry, we will discuss your date,your venue, number of guests and your design and aspirations of your dream cake.

2. I will then provide a quote.

3. if we are both in agreement and you would like to book in, you will then be able to pay a booking fee of £100, which, secures your date in my diary, and enables me to start the first stages of the design process.

4. Cake sample boxes are complementary (usually £45) for couples that have paid their booking fee, each box contains six different flavour combinations, of your choice. (tasters boxed are posted direct to you)

5. Once decided, will amend the order to show your chosen flavours. And this will be emailed to you for checking.

6..The remaining balance will be due one calander month prior to your wedding date and all details will be checked and amended if needed. After this is finalised, no other changes can be made

7. On your Wedding Day: The morning of your wedding (or an alternative time if
arranged) I’ll will arrange with the venue, for the delivey and set up your cake in the agreed location at your venue. Spending time to stack and add any finial touches making sure it is perfect and ready to be revealed.

8. After the wedding day. (STAND HIRE) if any stands or props are to be returned to me there will be a box left at the venue, with full instructions, ready to return the items required, once recieved your stand deposit will be returned, as per my tearms and conditions.
