Launching her business A Piece of Cake online nine months ago, Kea Walsh makes around four cakes a week, shares 9 news.

“When I was younger I just liked eating the foods and now I like decorating them,” the Silkwood High School student said.

“Sometimes I’m up really late at night doing the cakes but they get done.”

Kea has been refining her skills with a traineeship at Little Miss Muffin in Southport. Next year she will travel to France to learn under some of the best in the world.

I used to think these kind of cakes were way over priced. Then I discovered how much time and work goes into each one, they are good value for money. Out of my price range tho
