A FAMILY is adding a personal touch to the ever-expanding world of decorated cakes with no shortage of taste testers to help them along the way.

Mother and daughter duo Deborah and Lauren Gill have the steady hands and baking prowess to craft the intricate creations in the family's Shenfield-based kitchen.

And Lauren's boyfriend, City financial advisor Oliver Brown, is providing the marketing brains to help get Chteau de Gateaux off the ground and their cakes into homes, parties and the corporate arena, whatever the occasion.

Lauren, who works in sports therapy, said the business began when she joined a cake decorating course with her mother, a teaching assistant at Shenfield St Mary's Primary School in Hall Lane.
