SHAPING HOUSTON: REBECCA MASSON

Pastry chef Rebecca Masson, aka the Sugar Fairy, earned her stellar reputation providing desserts for trendy and high-end restaurants and top bakeries in town, becoming such a beloved local figure that her brick and mortar concept was funded in part by a successful Kickstarter campaign. In her brand new Houston Heights location, she writes her daily here-til-they're-gone specials on pink butcher paper.
