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.
Creative Greek + Southern Fusion Baklava
Hand-made traditional Greek and Greek/Southern fusion baklava expertly crafted in a variety of unique flavors for all your special occasions.
Rita creates the most incredible baklava I have ever tasted. Definitely best baklava in Utah. Crispy, crunchy, moist, decadent, I could go on.
I will return again and again. Could not be happier to support a locally owned business.
Response from the owner:Landon,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the baklava—it means the world to me to know it brought you joy. Your support of my local business keeps me going, and I can’t wait to welcome you back again and again! Have a wonderful night and take care!

If you’re searching for authentic, handcrafted baklava (& locally made!) look no further
Rita pours her heart into every batch. Her baklava is not just a dessert - it’s a work of art, layered with care, made from the highest-quality ingredients, and delivered with unmatched consistency.
You’re supporting a small business built on generosity & craftsmanship!
Response from the owner:Oh Tiffany! You were a joy from the moment you called me. It is customers like you that truly make all the late nights and early mornings worth it. Thank you for your warmth and the fun conversation. And look at your nails...they match the box! I love it. I appreciate the awesome review! Until the next time.
Hugs,
-Rita
Rita is the kindest, most talented (and beautiful!!) culinary artist I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She left me and my coworkers an entire box of her apple pie walnut baklava to try and we all agreed it was phenomenal. One of the best deserts and best baklavas I’ve ever had. 💚💚💚💚
Response from the owner:Graice,
Who needs that old other coffee place when Dutch Brothers is in town! You and your team are ALWAYS so sweet to me. I love picking up my coffee from you all on the way to work because I know it's going to be a good time. Thank you for your kindness, smiles, and sweet curious spirit and thanks for reaching out and wanting to try my baklava. I'm thrilled that you all enjoyed it. You truly are such a warm, hardworking bunch and I love coming to see you. This review made my day and I am thankful that you enjoyed my passion for baklava as much as I do. Blessings and probably until tomorrow my new friend. Coffee, baklava, and kindness...what more do we all need in life. Ha! Ha! Ha!
We had this baklava at our wedding and two years later, people still rave about it. One of my friends recently brought it up again saying “that baklava was so good!” So my husband and I decided to get her and her fiancé a box of it as a gift for their recent engagement. When we went to go pick up our order, Rita (the owner/baker) was SO friendly and generous. She gave my husband and I a few free samples to keep for ourselves. Of course, it was just as delicious as we remembered. I really cannot recommend this place enough!!
Response from the owner:Awww Andrea! It was so nice to finally meet you. Since George bought the baklava for your wedding, I wasn't such who you were and all this time later, I finally got to meet the bride and groom! What a sweet, fun couple you are. Thanks for giving me your time, attention and of course, your business. And I couldn't let you leave with a gift of baklava for someone else without giving you a taste for yourselves. What kind and generous hearts you have to come and get some for someone else and not yourselves! You are truly my kind of people. Also, thanks for sharing the photos from your wedding. I love looking at how you displayed the baklava. You made me so PROUD that I could play a little part in your BIG day. And Andrea...thank you for this review. I've been so busy. Sorry it took me a little while to respond, but please do not mistake my lateness for unthankfulness. I am so very grateful and tonight I wanted to warm your heart with my words of gratitude. Blessings and love and just know that small businesses like mine, thrive on lovely reviews like this. People really do look at them!
Big hugs,
-Rita
Response from the owner:T Sim,

If you're looking for truly exceptional baklava, you’ve found it. Each flavor is a work of art—whether it’s the indulgent chocolate (hubby’s favorite), the traditional walnut (my favorite), or the pistachio orange (so good). You really can’t go wrong, so use this as your excuse to try them all. 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. I’ve tried other baklava, and you can taste the difference. Baklava is generally a more premium dessert, but after one bite, you’ll understand why. I’ve had Rita cater large events and small team meetings, and her baklava is always the star of the show. They’re packaged beautifully and make perfect hostess gifts or holiday presents. Plus—they ship! So do yourself a favor and just order some. You’ll be glad you did. And if not, I’ll eat your leftovers 😉
Response from the owner:Emily,
Ok...you have officially earned a Sheer Ambrosia Ambassador badge with this review. Thank you! I cannot stress enough how grateful I am that you took the time to write me such a thorough review. I LOVE it and it makes me proud to do what I do. Baklava is a life long passion and meeting and interacting with people is another passion. Some people are hard to get to know and others are so easy going and kind. You are one of the latter. It has been my experience that my baklava attracts the best people. Thank you for giving me your business and thank you for encouraging others to try Sheer Ambrosia too. All the best and good night!

Wow wow wow!! We ran into Sheer Ambrosia Bakery at Fashion Place mall in a pop up stand by Nordstrom, we were able to sample their baklava and were blown away at how amazing it was. It was literally the bast baklava that I've ever had, perfect balance of flavors and texture. We promptly purchased both original and their pistachio, orange, cardamom flavor, honestly each flavor was to die for. Will definitely be back. The owner was also at the stand and was very kind and friendly.
Response from the owner:Jane,
Thank you so much for taking the time to give Sheer Ambrosia such a wonderful review. I am so grateful that you loved my baklava. Anytime you need more...I'm here! Thanks again!
Mind blowing treats for any occasion. The pistachio, orange, and cardamom baklava is so good it will change your life.
Response from the owner:Ashley, thank you so much for your review! I’ve been getting stellar feedback regarding my latest flavor Pistachio Orange Cardamom. It is amazing if I do say so myself. So much for my diet! I can’t stop eating it myself. At any rate…I do appreciate you taking the time to let me know your thoughts on my baklava. I love that you love it. Take care and let me know when I can be of service to you again. Blessings!!
Oh my LORD! The best dessert I have ever had. I got the peach cobbler Baklava and will be dreaming about it forever. If you are ever in Utah, RUN to Sheer Ambrosia!!!
Response from the owner:Courtney,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! It touches my heart that my baklava was so good to you that it inspired you to write a review. Much appreciated. Please let me know when I can be of service to you again!
I’m a business owner and was struggling to figure out a way to show appreciation to my past present and future clients. 4 influential companies in this case. Meeting Rita and learning about this bakery was an overnight solution to my issue. She not only has nicely decorated boxes of unique treats - ready to be shipped immediately - but she also added my company logo and a message to my clients that made all of this a no brainer for me. And the amazing price to do all of that is the cherry on top. Can you imagine the impact this can have on your business network and friends? I’m so excited to keep this going! Thank you Rita🙏🏾
Response from the owner:Hamaidu,

It was a pleasure working with you, and I’m so glad we could create something beautiful, personal, and impactful together. Your kind words and excitement are the exact fuel that keeps me going. I can’t wait to continue supporting your business with sweet, baklava memorable gifts. Thank you for trusting me with this task Hamaidu!!! Have a wonderful evening!

I travel to Greece every year. Sheer Ambrosia is better than anything I have ever tried in Greece. It is legit. The flavors are perfectly balanced. You will not be disappointed.
