How to Order Baklava for Gifts, Weddings & Events in Austin

Baklava is one of the great event desserts: it travels well, it holds at room temperature, it looks stunning on a table, and it works for guests of almost every background. Whether you're planning wedding favors, a corporate holiday gift, or a dessert spread for Eid, Christmas, or a graduation party, here's how to order it the easy way in Austin.

Step 1: Figure Out How Much You Need

A good rule of thumb is two to three pieces per guest for a dessert spread, or one to two pieces per person if baklava is one of several desserts. For gift boxes, our mixed assortments are sized so a single box comfortably serves a household — and the variety (pistachio, walnut, cashew, bird's nest) means there's something for everyone inside.

• Small gathering (10–20 guests): 1–2 mixed trays or boxes.
• Medium event (20–50 guests): 3–5 trays; mix baklava with knafeh and maamoul for variety.
• Weddings & large events (50+): call us — we'll help you plan quantities, shapes, and presentation.

Step 2: Pick Your Mix

For events, we recommend a spread rather than a single variety: classic pistachio and walnut baklava for the traditionalists, bird's nest for crunch, cashew for a milder option, and a tray of knafeh if you want a warm showstopper. Maamoul — date-filled butter cookies — are a great addition for guests who prefer something less syrupy, and they're a natural fit for holiday gifting.

Step 3: Give Us a Little Lead Time

Everything at Baklava House is made fresh in small batches, so for large orders we ask that you call a few days ahead — a week or more for weddings and very large trays. That lead time lets us schedule your order so it's baked as close to your event as possible. For same-day needs, the case is always stocked and you can walk in or order pickup.

Step 4: Choose How to Get It

• Call the store at (512) 215-9893 — the fastest way to plan a custom or large order with a real person.
• Order catering through ezCater for office events and corporate orders, with delivery handled for you.
• DoorDash pickup or delivery for smaller boxes and trays on shorter notice.
• Walk in — we're at 10205 N Lamar Blvd Unit 135, open daily 10 AM to 10 PM.

A Few Insider Tips

Baklava keeps at room temperature for up to two weeks in an airtight container, so you can pick up event orders a day or two early without worry. For wedding favors, individual boxed assortments are easier on guests than loose pieces. And if you're gifting to clients, a mixed box plus a knafeh tray for the office is the combination that gets remembered.

Whatever you're celebrating, we'd love to be part of it. Call us, and we'll put together something your guests will be talking about long after the last piece is gone.
