Family-run cake shop and cafe permanently shuts in Durham City due to 'huge downturn' in footfall

A family-run cake shop and cafe in County Durham has closed permanently due to a "huge downfall" in footfall. It's All About The Cake announced the closure of its venue in The Riverwalk after years of trading.

The Durham city centre shop, which opened in 2018, was pictured last week completely empty of stock and fixtures following the announcement. There is also another shop in Peterlee and a bakery in Wingate but the owners said its other venues were unaffected by the closure.

In a statement, the owners thanked its customers for all their support over the years as well as the staff who were "dedicated right up until the end". They also said they had not taken the decision "lightly" and said it was down to a drop in footfall post-Covid.
