Javi and Bubar Usman upped Houston’s sweet quotient this past weekend. They also made the food scene even more magical than usual. On March 9, 2019, they officially opened the Houston location of their Unicorn – Magical Dessert Bar. The found themselves inspired by their daughter’s love unicorns. So, the two opened the fanciful shop with offerings from cakes to donuts to milkshakes. “Everything has to be pink and unicornish,” Javi explains.
On the opening of their Dallas location there were lines of people out the door and down the city sidewalk. Fast forward to Houston and the same lines could be found. People soon began traveling from all over the county to check out the magical offerings in Dallas. It will be interesting to see if the same happens at this new location.
It seems likely for sure with more than 13,000 people showing interest on Facebook in the March opening. No surprise really. People love dessert. People love unicorns. And people love a good photo opp. Unicorn – Magical Dessert Bar certainly has all of that covered on all counts.
Usman creates Dessert Bar’s recipes herself. She loves to bake and decorate and is a pastry chef by trade, in fact. According to Usman, the most ordered items are the unicorn milk shake and the unicorn cake pop. But with so many glittery, colorful, and delicious menu items, it would be near impossible to go wrong with anything you might pick.
It will come as no surprise if Unicorn – Magical Dessert Bar takes off in Houston. But you’ll want to see – and taste – this place for yourself. Go ready to get your sweet on – and your wait on. It might take a little while to get in. But take the time to enjoy the Houston’s early Spring and know that it is sure to be well worth the wait.

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
