There is a plethora of options at Memorial Bakery near Memorial City Mall: A plain king cake starts at just $18.00; opt for raspberry or strawberry filling for $10 more. Vanilla-iced shortbread cookies in the shapes of Mardi Gras masks and flour de lis are $26 per dozen. Chocolate and vanilla petit fours are available by the half-dozen, as are our fave — towering, fluffy, butter-cream-frosted cupcakes with glittering swirls of purple, gold and green.

As Escape Spa Expands in 2025, Owner Has Advice on Personal Growth: ‘Focus on Intention Setting’

CHANGE IS A good thing, and with the start of a new year, I always like to reflect on how far I've come and start fresh by setting self-care goals for the coming months. Personal growth is a passion for me, and also something I enjoy. Guiding a business through growth and change is also one of my passions, so I am very pleased to announce that Escape Spa is going to be expanding in 2025! We’re honored that we’ve built such a loyal following since opening in Cypress in July of 2022, and we’re thrilled to be in a position to grow our wellness and recovery sanctuary just outside of Houston.
