Generally, "Baklawa" is the Arabic spelling and pronunciation, which often uses simply syrup scented with orange blossom or rose water. "Baklava" is the Turkish/Greek spelling, frequently using honey-based syrup.

We specifically use walnuts for their earthy and buttery richness. Baklawa is traditionally made with walnuts, pistachios, and cashews.

Baklawa is best enjoyed at room temperature with a cup of unsweetened coffee or tea to balance the intense sweetness.

At room temperature, I suggest loosely covering it with wax paper to keep its crispness. If you prefer, place in an air tight container for one to two weeks. Refrigeration is best for longevity. If you still have any leftovers (we doubt you will!), store it in the fridge for up to three weeks.

Yes, Baklawa freezes exceptionally well and can last up to 4-6 months. Wrap small batches in parchment paper, then double-wrap in plastic wrap or foil. Place in a freezer bag or airtight container. Thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for 4-5 hours before you plan to serve it.

While Baklawa is traditionally served at room temperature, you can warm it up if you prefer. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and heat the pieces on a baking tray for 5-10 minutes. Avoid the microwave, this often turns the pastry too soft.

Yes, we do. Frozen trays are perfect for planning ahead or on demand. These come with our signature homemade syrup and easy instructions. You can bake them at your own convenience. Giving your home that amazing fresh baked aroma is a bonus!

We are taking order via email. Please email your selections and event date to bakingbaklawa@aol.com. Since we bake everything fresh, we require at least 48 hours notice and a minimum order of $45.

We curate these sets to ensure you get the full value of the tray system. Each piece is vital, so we sell them in complete sets (6 pieces) to ensure you have everything you need without waste.

Our Maakroons are a traditional Palestinian cookie. We swap the syrup for a light, "not too sweet" crunch. They're packed with a fragrant mix of anise and mahlab, topped with sesame seeds for a nutty finish.

Our Maakroons taste like a blend of warm licorice and cherry essence, enhanced with the rich, nutty flavor of toasted sesame seeds.

That’s an easy answer! There won’t be any leftover. Our maakroons freeze nicely and fare very well on your counter for up to two weeks. Place them in a ziplock bag or an air tight container.

Yes! Beyond being delicious, they are the ideal complement for dipping into your coffee or tea; one would wonder if they were made specifically for this purpose.
