Leyla K. Desserts was founded to honor family, strong women, and the creative spirit of their matriarch—a heartfelt dream brought to life.
Our Story
Leyla and Ameneh draw inspiration from the strong women in their lives, especially their mother Maryam, a gifted floral designer whose creative spirit continues to shape their vision.
Leyla, the pastry chef and creative force behind the brand, has spent decades perfecting her craft. Ameneh, with her expertise in business, guides the company’s operations, bringing their shared dream to life.
The sisters have taken great pride in introducing desserts that celebrate the blend of innovation and tradition.
Our Journey
Leyla and Ameneh’s journey began in Iran, where they were born. After the revolution, they left their home country and embarked on a life filled with rich cultural experiences, living in South Africa, Europe, and eventually settling in the UK, where they spent most of their childhood.
Today, the sisters call Northern California home.
This folk song from Iran, Jane Maryam, is a beautiful tribute to “Maryam”, our matriarch.
