About Layla's Delicacies

Layla’s Delicacies is their way of sharing sweets from Tunisia with everyone in America. It all started when they immigrated to the US. Their love for authentic Tunisian pastries couldn’t be satisfied anymore because they couldn’t find places that sold things like Tunisian Baklava, Samsa, or Kaak Warka. So they took the matter in their own hands and started baking sweets in their own apartment. Initially, it was just for them. Then they started sharing them with family and friends. Their response was overwhelmingly positive. They were even willing to pay money to have their sweets at their own family and friend gatherings! That’s when the idea of Layla’s Delicacies came to their minds. Layla is their daughter. She loves baking. This business is their way of keeping that love alive and keeping her connected with the Tunisian tradition of sharing sweets with the people you love.

Making their treats involves a great deal of craft. After all, it only took a couple of centuries and a lot of cultural influences in order to reach this level of deliciousness. These treats are extremely sophisticated thanks to Tunisia’s vibrant multicultural history. The stuffing techniques were inherited from the moors of Spain. The use of almond was influenced by the berbers of North Africa while the use of pistachio came from the Middle East. The refinement in making these delicacies came from the French and the Italians who lived among Tunisians in the last century. Every bite is a marriage of the best of what the Mediterranean has to offer. Layla’s Delicacies is very excited for you to try them because they are sure you will love them as much as they do.
