An 11-year-old Cullingworth girl is cooking up a career for herself with two fledgling businesses.

Tilly Stothard (left) is seeking commissions to take photographs of children’s parties in the Keighley area.

And when she is older she plans to open patisseries in Haworth and London selling her own confectionery. She has even got her father Jim to register her proposed company name – Tots Treats.

Tilly has an “inventions book” where she writes her recipes for cupcakes and draws what they will look like. She has also begun taking photographs of family gatherings. Mum Fiona has started a party planning business, Party Poppins, and will now offer Tilly’s services as a photographer.
