Confectionery studio
Sweets that are made the week you eat them.
We work in small batches because the two steps that matter — tempering the chocolate and resting the filling — cannot be hurried. Everything on this page is made to order and leaves the kitchen the day it is packed.
The ritual
Six steps, in the order they actually happen.
Nothing here is a metaphor. This is the sequence a box passes through, and the reason a piece sometimes leaves the shop.
01
Sourcing
We buy couverture in small lots and taste every delivery before it enters the kitchen. Fruit is bought ripe and used the same week — which is why some boxes rotate out of the shop without notice.
02
Tempering
Chocolate is tempered in small batches so the crystal structure sets tight. That is what gives a shell its snap and its shine, and it is the step that cannot be rushed or reheated twice.
03
Filling
Ganache and caramel are cooked to temperature, not to a timer, then rested overnight. Resting is invisible in the photograph and obvious in the texture.
04
Finishing
Shells are closed, scraped, and unmoulded by hand. Pieces that sit unevenly or lose their shine are pulled here rather than packed and apologised for later.
05
Packing
Boxes are packed the day they ship, with an insulated liner in warm months. Nothing is packed in advance to sit on a shelf.
06
Dispatch
Orders leave with tracking and an estimated arrival window. If a delivery is delayed past that window, write to us and we remake the order.
How we work
Four commitments we can actually keep.
Small batch, on purpose
We cap what we make in a day. It bounds how much we can sell, and it is the only way the tempering and the resting stay honest.
Short ingredient lists
Cream, butter, sugar, fruit, couverture. If a piece needs a stabiliser to survive the trip, we redesign the piece instead of adding the stabiliser.
Say what is in the box
Every listing states the count, the size, and what rotates. Allergen information travels with the order and is printed on the box.
Answer quickly
Orders and questions are answered by the same small team that makes the sweets, usually within one business day.

About
A small kitchen that stayed small.
Ariana Doces is a confectionery studio built around a daily cap: we decide in the morning how many boxes the day can hold, and we stop there. It bounds the business and it is the only way the process on this page stays true.
