A Waffleshot Simulcast by The Sugar Fairy
Sunday, noon to close314 Gray
Rebecca Masson, one of Houston's leading ladies of all things sweet and delicious, is popping up in Los Angeles at Waffleshot at The Original Farmer's Market. While she is hanging out with Waffleshot, her Fluff Bake Bar in Midtown will be selling special collaborative treats.
Waffleshots are edible cups made of waffle cone and coated with Belgian chocolate. Sisters and business partners Dorit and Naomi Kashi created them as a sustainable option to plastic and styrofoam cups. Masson became a fan in March 2019 after ordering a case and filling the cups with flavors she knew her customers would enjoy. Social media led to a correspondence with Naomi and soon, the idea for a popup in L.A. and a simultaneous day of Waffleshots at Fluff Bake Bar was born. Masson has taken the Waffleshots and added her own spin to them, layering them with the delicious flavors for which she is known.
Beginning at noon on Sunday, the cafe will offer three special treats. One Night Stand is filled with salted caramel ganache, brownie, chocolate chip cookie dough, topped with a vanilla marshmallow in a bittersweet chocolate cone. Call Me, Maybe is layered with sprinkles, Funfetti cake, unicorn bait cookie dough, and birthday cake truffle in a white chocolate cone. Oops, I Did It Again is a white Belgian chocolate cone, rimmed with crushed chocolate cookies and filled with passion fruit ganache, brownie, fizzy chocolate cocoa pebble crunch, and cookies and cream filling. All three of these over-the top and Instagram-worthy treats are $5 each.

You'll also get a warm, fuzzy feeling (or is it the prosecco?) knowing that you are supporting a cause for Houston's paws. Love and Rescue works with fosters to help find permanent homes for Houston's abandoned pets. Spay and neuter, people. Spay and neuter.
The Dogwood also has a tasty menu of wings, nachos, burgers and tacos to compliment the free bubbly.

There will be plenty of great live music to accompany the crawfish and brews. Bob Schneider, a popular musician out of Austin will be there, along with G. Love and Special Sauce.

Highway 290 at FM 1155
The Texas Legislature declared this the "Official Bluebonnet Festival of Texas" and most Houstonians have made the hour long drive up 290 to gawk at the wildflowers and stop in Chappell Hill, a small town which still retains much of its quaintness.
Karbach Brewing Co. is a sponsor so odds are, you can sip on a cold one as you wander through homemade goods and crafts. Most folks grab a couple of pounds of Chappell Hill sausage to take back to the big city. There will be over 250 juried vendors, including plenty of food, drink and tchotchkes.
There will also be live music, activities for kids and free admission. Parking is $5 and can be found in the parking lot along FM 1155. Be patient. The line of cars can get very long.
There will be turkey legs.
