They say when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But when life throws you a sour divorce, why not make sweet cakes? That’s exactly what former beauty queen and entrepreneur, Sonia Booth, did.
She took the pain and humiliation of her public divorce and turned it into a thriving business. In November 2022, Sonia Booth made headlines when she exposed her football legend husband, Matthew Booth, for his extramarital affairs.
She didn’t hold back, sharing the details of how she hired a private investigator to track him down and how he had used her car to rendezvous with his alleged mistress. The most infamous incident involved a cheesecake that Sonia had hoped was for her son’s birthday, only to discover it was meant for the other woman.

For weeks, people joked about cheesecake and Tupperware, but instead of letting the mockery get to her, Sonia saw an opportunity. She decided to turn her pain into profit and launched her own brand of cheesecake products.
“The first time I went out in public, I heard a group of teenagers whispering ‘cheesecake’. I couldn’t help but laugh,” Sonia recalls. “They started clapping for me. It happened again with a group of adults asking me, ‘Where is the cheesecake?’ Even a friend told me that cheesecake at stores was selling out because of my story.”
With the demand for cheesecake soaring, Sonia knew she had to ride the wave and make the best out of a situation that could have easily buried her in the sand. She came up with a range of delicious cheesecake products that have been a hit with customers.
Her first creation was Marula Cheesecake Liqueur, a unique blend of flavors that captures the essence of her journey. The liqueur was an instant success, prompting Sonia to expand her product line to include ice cream and frozen yogurt infused with the same delectable cheesecake goodness.
But Sonia’s creativity didn’t stop there. She introduced Marula Cheesecake Passion Popcorns, a delightful snack that combines the crunch of popcorn with the rich flavors of her signature cheesecake.
And she didn’t stop at edible treats either. Sonia ventured into the world of beauty and wellness with Marula Cheesecake Body Mousse, a luxurious and indulgent skincare product that leaves your skin feeling as smooth as silk.
And that’s not all. Sonia has plans to expand her brand even further. She is working on developing Marula Cheesecake scented candles and incense sticks, creating an immersive sensory experience that will transport you straight to cheesecake heaven.
With her unique creations gaining attention on social media, Sonia has been approached by numerous companies interested in collaborating with her. She plans to pursue as many opportunities as possible, ensuring that her brand reaches a wider audience and continues to grow.
