Dacapo's hangs up their Chef's Hats in Houston! The Biggerstaff Twins are headed home to Oklahoma to their Grandfather's original bakery and to be near family. I will miss the raspberry swirl cookies, Italian Chicken Noodle Soup, Coffee, camaraderie and friendship shared in this cozy café in the historic Heights! Dacapo's and I were neighbors -- our original studio location of 18 years shared the same block  in the Norhill Historic District in the Houston Heights. Dacapo's was my go-to to for very special occasion cakes, boxes and boxes of cookies delivered as gifts, lunches with my team, and many, many visits there for a delicious bite with friends! As way of thanks for creating many sweet & savory moments  over the past 24 years -   I  created this illustrated guest book for Dacapo's -  for customers and friends to share their own special and delicious stories  with Lisa and Tresa! Thanks for the memories ...
