A mum of three who ditched her job has shed light on the pros and cons of running a business from your kitchen.
Laura Davies, from Ormskirk, "loved" baking as a child, but invested more time into studying and work as she got older. However, she recovered her passion while on maternity leave, eventually setting up Laura's Cakery in 2015.
Laura told the ECHO: "I’d decided not to return to my social work career after the birth of my third baby due to work/life balance struggles - starting a little cupcake business seemed like a perfect option as it would allow me to stay at home with the children whilst having something new and exciting to focus on."
