The 63-year-old entrepreneur set up the business in 1987 and says Catherine and her siblings Pippa and James have all worked for the company.
Speaking to Good Housekeeping magazine, she said: "Catherine started the First Birthday brand, she chose the products and looked after all the imagery and the catalogue production. Pippa set up the blog, as we didn't have one. James came up with the idea of personalised cakes and got them off the ground for us. Because they all grew up with me working, Party Pieces has been very much part of our lives and what we talked about. I still ask their advice and say 'What do you think of this?'
"In 1987, I had two young children and was pregnant with my son, James. We had come back to the UK from living abroad and I was a full-time mum. I didn't want to miss out on my children growing up, so I considered starting my own business."
The idea for the company was born out of Carole's need for suppliers for her own children's birthday parties.
