Home of Houston's best lemon bars
Falling in love with a good lemon bar is easy to do especially one as decadent as the one baked at our bakery. A simple recipe, with few ingredients our luscious lemon bar garners many compliments which is why we deemed them "Houston's best lemon bar". Here are 10 reasons to fall in love with our lemon bars.
- A good lemon bar starts with a good crust. Our luscious lemon bar features a buttery, delicate but sturdy crust. The first thing our clients reference is the crust, more than any feature of the lemon bar. We couldn't agree more.
- The tantalizing textures set our lemon bar apart from all others. Three layers make up our lemon bar. A thin crust dusted with powdered sugar, lemon curd sandwiched between a buttery shortbread crust. Sinking your teeth into all three layers is a party on your palette.
- "I don't like lemon bars but I love yours." If we earned a dollar each time we've heard this quote we'd amass a small fortune! Many expect a super tart lemon bar when experiencing our lemon bar for the first time but quickly realize that we've created a balance of sweet and tart pastries. The brightness of the lemon counter the sweetness creating an unusual but pleasant marriage. We've converted many into lemon bar lovers.
- Our lemon bars are versatile. Whether you are in the market of gift-giving or need a little self-care our lemon bars offer the perfect treat for you or a friend. Perfectly portioned, we always wrap them in a box with a bow. We accommodate requests for gifts, shipping, party favors, dessert buffets and more. The possibilities are endless.
- For breakfast, lunch or dinner, the luscious lemon bars compliment any meal any time of day. We've collected many stories throughout the years. From "I'm enjoying my lemon square with coffee" to "I love warming my lemon bars and serving them with wine" the lemon bars are versatile and compliment all menus.
- Oftentimes guests eat first with their eyes. We take time and care in the presentation of our lemon bars. The lemon bars are just as delicious as they are pretty. Carefully cut into appropriate portions, we dust each bar with a light coating of powdered sugar to resemble fresh snow. The results are rewarding and they beg our guests to indulge in a serving or two.
- The lemon bars are sharable treats. When guests are first introduced to the lemon bar they consider a friend to share in their enjoyment. These pastries have graced tables arranged for former ambassadors, weddings as well as backyard parties. We put as much effort into each batch no matter the audience or guest in attendance.
- Quite possibly the best part about the lemon bar is that we use simple and whole ingredients. Only 5 ingredients make up the entire recipe. Uncomplicated, sweet and rewarding, we've gone to great lengths to maintain consistency in creating this sweet treat.
- Because we use simple ingredients and no preservative the lemon bar only have a shelf life of 3 days. However our lemon bars are sturdy enough to hold up to freezing. When wrapped appropriately they can be frozen for up to 3 months. We urge our clients to remove a few squares for immediate consumption and freeze the remaining bars.
- Lastly, our lemon bars generate so many smiles. The moment our clients' faces light up from the first bite is the most rewarding part of creating these sweet treats. We believe in baking for our clients just as we do for our family. Our clients can taste the love in every bite. They all agree that love is the most important ingredient in our lemon bars too!

Lauren & Gator’s Stunning Valentine’s Weekend Wedding Cake Love was in the air this Valentine’s Day weekend as Lauren and Gator celebrated their wedding in grand style at The Bell Tower on 34th Street. Their love story deserved nothing less than a show-stopping cake, and we were honored to create a breathtaking three-tiered masterpiece to mark the occasion. The Cake: A Vision of Romance Lauren and Gator’s wedding cake was designed to capture the essence of love—bold, timeless, and unforgettable. The couple chose red velvet , a classic flavor known for its rich, velvety texture and subtle cocoa undertones, perfectly complementing the romance of the weekend. Each tier was generously layered with our signature cream cheese frosting, balancing sweetness with just the right touch of tang. A Design Fit for a Love Story The three-tiered beauty stood tall, exuding elegance with every detail. The smooth, ivory buttercream finish provided a flawless canvas for delicate sugar roses cascading down the side, mirroring the lush floral arrangements of their reception. Edible gold accents added a touch of opulence, reflecting the grandeur of The Bell Tower’s architecture. The top tier featured a custom cake topper with Lauren and Gator’s initials intertwined—a simple yet meaningful representation of their new union. Soft candlelight flickered around the cake table, enhancing the romantic ambiance as guests gathered to admire (and later, indulge in) the delicious creation. A Sweet Moment to Remember As the evening unfolded, Lauren and Gator’s cake-cutting moment became a highlight of the night. With laughter and joy, they shared the first bite, savoring not only the cake but the sweetness of the journey ahead. Guests raved about the rich red velvet flavor, some even sneaking back for seconds! Creating this cake for Lauren and Gator was an absolute pleasure, and we’re so grateful to have been part of their unforgettable day. From the grandeur of The Bell Tower to the intimate moments shared between the couple, their wedding was truly a celebration of love, and their cake was a delicious testament to it. Planning Your Own Dream Wedding Cake? If you’re envisioning a wedding cake that’s as unique and special as your love story, we’d love to bring it to life! From timeless classics to bold, modern designs, let’s create something truly unforgettable for your big day. Here’s to love, cake, and happily ever after!
