The Beginning of Lekker Chócó Treats

---

In 2019, Lekker Chócó Treats was founded after my passion was reignited by my best friend Courtney.

Hi, my name is Nakija Mills and I am the founder of Lekker Chócó Treats. I’m a single mother of two wonderful boys, Bryan and Braylon.  I am originally from the beautiful island of Dominica, and grew up in the Netherlands before I moved to the US in late 2007. 

I started dipping strawberries in 2011 as a decoration for my cupcakes. Over the years, my passion grew and so did my craft. 

In 2015, the sudden loss of my children’s grandmother, caused a halt. I did not bake or decorate fruits any longer.

In June 2019, my  dear friend Courtney approached me, wondering if I could dip strawberries for an upcoming prom event. Wanting to say no, I said yes!

Knowing that her party was going to be over the top, showstopper,  I could not give her a platter with just strawberries. 

So, 5 am the next morning I woke up and began surfing the web for ideas. That’s  when I decided to make her a gold and white strawberries tower. With the tremendous feedback I received from the event, and the fun I had creating the tower, I decided to start my own company, Lekker Chócó Treats. The word Lekker is Dutch and African, translates to delicious  and Chócó- means chocolate!

Lekker Chócó Treats is based in Farmington, Michigan. I make  elegant strawberry towers and beautiful edible bouquets decorated with fresh flowers. 

Every bouquet, tower or Chócó  Experience is about spreading love and happiness.
