The Wick intentionally offers simple menu in Celina
When husband and wife team Cleve and Kim Wickliffe opened The Wick in 2024, they did so with Cleve’s tried-and-true recipe for scratch-made cinnamon rolls and other recipes he created by tapping into an inherited culinary affinity.
“His mom, dad and grandmother were great cooks,” Kim Wickliffe said. “They're all very passionate about food.”
On the menu: The top three menu items at The Wick are the Classic Swirl cinnamon roll, breakfast taco and their candied bacon appetizer.
“It's hard to find a cinnamon roll that tastes like your grandmother made it,” Kim Wickliffe said. “It's very fresh, soft and delicious.”

More notice required for public meetings under new Texas law
Cities, counties and school district boards across Texas are required to provide more notice for public meetings under a new state law aimed at increasing public participation in government affairs.
The details: Local government agencies must post meeting notices at least three business days in advance of the meeting, meaning weekends and holidays do not count toward the minimum posting period.
House Bill 1522, which became law Sept. 1, increases the notice requirement from 72 hours.
The law change is part of “an effort to promote government transparency and citizen participation,” Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, said during a May 13 legislative hearing.
The local impact: Some city and county governments across Community Impact’s coverage areas are changing their meeting schedules to comply with the new law, including:
Bastrop City Council
Conroe City Council
Fort Bend County Commissioners Court
Montgomery County Commissioners Court
The Woodlands Township
The new law does not dictate when local governments hold meetings, as long as they meet the three-day posting requirement.
