According to Aziza, she raises two sons with her husband and is currently studying at a higher educational institution. She was born in 1999 in Uzgen, and then her family moved to Bishkek, where she completed her education at a college specializing in primary school teaching. The inspiration for her confectionery business came from her older sister, who opened her own pastry shop. After getting married, Aziza moved to Intymak, and while on maternity leave, she decided to develop her skills in making sweets.
Today, she bakes cakes weighing up to 9 kilograms, including wedding cakes, and is gradually updating her equipment for work. “My interest in confectionery arose when I helped my sister. My first independent cake was a failure, but I didn’t give up and enrolled in online courses. After gaining basic knowledge, I continued my education in offline classes and even went to Russia for practical experience,” she shared.
At first, Aziza took orders for holidays in her village, and then, with her husband’s support, she acquired the necessary equipment—a freezer, a dough mixer, and a professional oven, spending about 400,000 soms on it. Since the fall of 2025, she has started accepting orders not only in the Tyup district but also in Karakol.
The prices for her cakes vary depending on their weight: for example, a cake weighing 400-450 grams costs from 350 soms, while a cake weighing 2.5-3 kg starts at 3,000 soms. The largest cake she prepared weighed 9 kg and was a gift for her mother,” the confectioner added.
In addition, Aziza is studying part-time to become a teacher, emphasizing the importance of education for women. In the future, she dreams of opening her own confectionery business in the Tyup district or Karakol. “I am very grateful to my relatives, my parents, my husband’s family, and of course, my husband for supporting my endeavors,” Aziza concluded.
