Owner, Ayana Elon, was born and raised in Louisiana where pralines are well-liked by the residents from New Orleans to Shreveport. Pralines have been a favorite of hers for years.

In 2009, she created her own recipe for pralines and named the sweets “Yalines” (pronounced Yah-leens).

In 2011, Ayana began to make a plain Pecan Praline Truffle. She had taken her Creamy Pecan Praline mixture and shaped it to form bite-size balls. It was a new twist on an old favorite.

In 2014, she took the plain Pecan Praline Truffles and began to decorate them using Ghirardelli White and Dark Chocolates, pecan pieces, almond slices, and coconut.

Not long after, she began to baked breads from scratch; adding to her growing love for cooking and baking. You can get a taste of her Baked French Toast, Stuffed Breads and other foods at brunch events. (See Events page for upcoming dates.)

Whether eating the Pecan Praline Truffles or experiencing the baked goods, you will definitely enjoy a Truly Sweet Taste of Louisiana! We look forward to serving you!
