The founder of MARMALAD
My name is Denka Ivanova, founder and managing director of the MARMALAD café-confectionery . My passion for baking began in the family bakery in Bulgaria, where I discovered the magic of handmade baked goods at an early age. With a solid education as a confectioner and numerous further training courses, I combine specialist knowledge, creativity and entrepreneurial skills. In my work, I attach great importance to quality, natural ingredients and the combination of traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. My goal is to create special moments for my customers through my creations and to establish our café as a meeting place for gourmet lovers.
