Teenager Natasha Afford is turning her passion for baking into cold hard cash as part of an enterprising competition.

The 13-year-old, a pupil at Titus Salt School, set up the Cup Cake Foundation with only £10 after taking on Enterprise UK’s Make Your Mark with a Tenner challenge.

She is one of many students at the secondary school trying to make profit from an enterprising idea in a challenge backed by businessman and star of Dragon’s Den TV show Peter Jones.

Natasha said: “Through raising a smile with my cup cakes and making sure my profits go to charity I hope I’m giving people a treat.”

She designed and distributed menus and promotional flyers, and signed up a network of students to sell her cakes.
