Opened in 1998 with the aim to make beautiful cakes of the highest quality, the City Cake Company soon began to offer cake delivery and bespoke cake design and decoration.
City Cake Company is 24 this year, and as anyone who has celebrated this will tell you, 24 is quite a milestone. Find out how we began!
