A CHESTER couple are cooking up a treat in the city centre.

Tim and Julie College-Smith, of Vicars Cross, have opened Cakelicious on Watergate Row, a shop specialising in celebration cakes.

'The idea is that people can come in and design their own cake or pick a design from over 60 that we have created,' said Julie, 39.

Tim, 41, trained in the catering industry, while Julie is self-taught. They offer a wide selection of stunning and innovative cake designs for any occasion.

'We do wedding cakes, birthday cakes, themed cakes, new baby cakes and they are all bold and different designs,' added Julie.

'We have already had a number of orders from celebrities but it's all very secretive about who they are for.'
