Baklava at Its Most Exquisite
45 Layers. 100% Old-world Artisan Love.

Every piece of Sheer Ambrosia baklava is hand-crafted from 45 whisper-thin layers of phyllo, each brushed with butter by hand, then baked to golden perfection for that signature flaky, crispy bite.

  • ST. PATRICK’S DAY IS ALL ABOUT LUCK

    Use code: LuckyLayers2026 for 15% off our 12-Piece Pistachio Orange Cardamom Baklava — 45 delicate layers of phyllo brushed with real butter and filled with pure pistachios and warm cardamom. 

    Once perfectly baked to a delicate crisp, a generous pour of freshly made orange-infused honey syrup cascades over the baklava, slowly soaking into every layer and transforming it into a tender, glistening masterpiece. A flavor where luck is baked into every bite — inspired by tradition, connection, and the simple magic of sharing something extraordinary.

I bought the sugar plum baklava candle for my fiancé and she loved it. It burns nicely and has a wooden wick that makes a relaxing popping sound. It smells amazing I highly recommend!

Rita is so amazing I use her product for marketing and it is such an amazing gift to give to my clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone and her presentation and packages is second to none what amazing gifts that she creates to give to my clients I appreciate her so much and what she does for my company. I highly recommend buying product from her to distribute to your clients to make more money. It’s an amazing package that she delivers with precision and care thank you so much for your beautiful gifts to my clients. This is Mike with Restore Masters and I love giving these beautiful packages out to my customers.
Response from the owner:Mike, this review means so much—thank you!

You truly understand the power of corporate gifting. Taking intentional care of clients and referral partners isn’t just a nice gesture—it’s smart business. Thoughtful, beautifully presented gifts strengthen relationships, elevate your brand, and keep you top of mind. So many business owners overlook this opportunity, but you absolutely get it.

At the end of the day, yes—I make baklava for the world to enjoy. But beyond that, my real job is helping companies like Restore Masters look exceptional in the eyes of their clients.

Thank you for trusting me to represent your brand with precision, care, and elegance. I appreciate your continued support and love seeing you use gifting as a tool to grow your business.

Personally know Rita the owner. Her attention to detail and love for what she has is unmatched. She also literally has the best Baklava I’ve ever had. So many different flavors. The granola is amazing as well. She has so many options. She also does corporate events and also corporate gifts. She is THE person to go to. Way better than a box of chocolates.
Response from the owner:Martine, thank you so much for sharing my sweet little Valentine's box and your opinion of me and Sheer Ambrosia on Google Reviews! I know you are so very busy so I'm super grateful. Yes, I love what I do! Being creative and coming up with new flavors are a joy. My greatest joy of course, are my customers.

About Rita

From My Kitchen to Yours

Baking baklava started as a love letter to family, friends, and community. Today, Rita and her team pour the same care into every pan they make — brushing each layer by hand so that when you take a bite, you taste the devotion baked right in.
OUR FOUNDER'S STORY
Rita, the owner, is absolutely lovely and has truly mastered the art of baklava. Between her love for the craft, the high-quality ingredients, and her attention to detail, you won’t find better—trust me.
