About Nauti Treats and Bonnie Marsden
Bonnie moved to Milford on Sea with her family in 2020, and prior to this had a career in brand strategy with BBC Worldwide and Macmillan Cancer Support in London.
Having a long-time passion for baking and a young daughter, it felt like the natural next step for Bonnie to start her own cake making business, and this is how Nauti Treats was born.
Bonnie specialises in custom cupcake orders, from Winnie the Pooh-themed christening cakes to gluten-free and dairy-free dark chocolate birthday cakes. Each cupcake is crafted not only to suit dietary needs but to enhance the celebration, adding a personal touch that elevates the entire experience.
Whether catering for large parties or intimate gatherings, she takes pride in helping her clients create the special moments they’re after. She has even recreated wedding cupcakes for a special vow renewal.
Nauti Treats have a 5-star hygiene rating, and Bonnie is also able to accommodate various allergens, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a Nauti Treat without worry.
Bonnie's experience with allergen-friendly baking began at home, as her daughter couldn't have dairy until she was two, and her mother-in-law follows a gluten-free diet. Baking with allergens in mind has since become second nature.
Bonnie would love to discuss any ideas you may have and create something special for you or a loved one.
If you'd like to order a box of cakes, or ask any questions, feel free to reach out to Bonnie at nautitreatslymington@gmail.com
You can also see more examples of cakes on Instagram @nauti_treats.
