One maker, one ingredient
Ajia makes marzipan and nothing else. Not cake with marzipan on it, not a bakery counter with marzipan in the corner: the whole business is one confection, shaped for each occasion.
How a piece is made
Paste is portioned into rounds, then shaped by hand: petals turn one by one, grapes build bead by bead, and baby bonnets are scored to look knitted.
Carved moulds help with some forms. Colour, gold and finishing come last.
A tray of sixty roses is sixty separate roses, so lead time matters.
Where every order begins
Portioned rounds, before anything has been decided.
Almonds and sugar. That is the whole list.
Ajia's marzipan has no flour, butter, cream or egg. It is naturally vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free.

In her own words
I began making marzipan when I could not find ready-made pieces that felt special enough. My first creation was a gift for a family engagement party. Friends and family soon began asking for pieces of their own.
Today, I tailor every order's colours, flavours and details to each celebration. To me, marzipan is more than a sweet. It is edible art made to be shared and remembered.
