When Barbara graduated from her first cake class, the instructor informed her that she has a talent from God!
In 1975, she demonstrated cakes for Sanger's in the downtown Dallas, Preston Center, & Valley View stores.
She taught the cake decorating class @ Sanger Harris in the Preston Center location.
Barbara has taught cake decorating previously in New Orleans, Louisiana & has demonstrated cake decorating on the cooking stages for the Infomart (located in Dallas) and the Fort Worth Convention Center. She has demonstrated cakes @ several schools, women's clubs, & churches.
Barbara's Basic Cake Decorating Class
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. It is up to you to practice! FYI: Start squeezing a rubber ball "NOW" to build up your strength for decorating. The classes are usually held on a Monday for approx. 2 hours from 10am - 12pm.

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!
The Chopin's "Nocturne" is preformed live by Dr. Karen Murphy (Karl's sister who is pictured.)
Thank you Dr. Karen!

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!
