You will be shown how to ice buttercreme frosting for a round cake and how to make dots, stars, shells, leaf work, figure piping, writing, roses, carnations, daisies, & mums.

My Personal Testimony by Karl Owen
I am Barbara's husband & co-owner of Barbara's Cake & Cookie Boutique. I am a Texas A&M graduate (Class of 80). More importantly, I am born again & I re- dedicated my life to The Lord Jesus in August, 1983, at my grandparent's house in Maine.
Give God Glory for that & no one or nothing else!
Gingerbread Houses in Competition
In Gingerbread Competitions we won 2nd place (silver) & (3) 3rd places (bronze). We also had a gingerbread house (not pictured) on a TV commercial with Ronald McDonald Charities & Southwest Airlines...it aired from California to New York during the holiday season! The children were standing around the house & decorating it with tons of frosting & candy! They "LOVED" it! Praise God!
