Support the Best Lemon Bars in Houston

I was initially intrigued by lemon because lemon is one of those flavors that can be good or bad. I was also intrigued because it wasn't a cake. I took a bite into this lemon bar and I was transformed into bliss. From texture to taste to presentation, this lemon bar was pure perfection. I immediately needed to know who made this. That is the start of my relationship with Chef Heather Davis, owner of Chic Sweets Fine Desserts and curator of the Luscious Lemon Bar!
