Shreveport, La. – On Oct. 1 Lilah’s Bakery marked a grand reopening, expanding its beloved Mardi Gras king‑cake offerings to a full fall menu. The event featured a ribbon‑cutting ceremony and a tasting session that welcomed longtime patrons and new visitors alike.
New seasonal treats for football season and autumn
Owners Sopheap and Lisa Hing announced that, while the bakery will continue to bake its signature king cakes using a soft brioche dough rolled, filled, braided and baked from scratch, they are adding a variety of seasonal pastries to meet demand during football season and the cooler months. New items include assorted pastries, “brownie flights” (miniature brownies served in a tasting platter), a selection of cookies and dessert bars, all crafted with the same attention to quality that has made the bakery a local favorite.
Updated hours and ordering options
Following the reopening, Lilah’s Bakery will operate on revised fall hours: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Customers can place orders in person at the shop located at 1718 Centenary Blvd. or order online for convenient pickup.
Community response
Shreveport residents expressed enthusiasm for the expanded menu, noting that the bakery’s commitment to traditional, scratch‑made recipes aligns with the community’s appreciation for locally‑owned businesses that honor regional culinary traditions. The reopening also provides additional options for families and friends gathering to watch weekend football games, offering sweet treats that complement the season’s festivities.
Looking ahead
The Hing family plans to continue introducing seasonal items throughout the year, reflecting the bakery’s dedication to serving the Shreveport community year‑round. By broadening its product line while preserving the classic king‑cake craftsmanship, Lilah’s Bakery aims to remain a staple of local celebrations and everyday gatherings alike.
