She has demonstrated cakes @ several schools, women's clubs, & churches.

2' Tall Gingerbread Houses in Competition
Barbara had a 2' tall gingerbread House on a TV commercial with Southwest Airlines & Ronald McDonald House Charities. It aired from California to New York during the holidays. The commercial was about several children standing around a gingerbread house attempting to decorate it. They had tons of icing & candy to help with. After the press found out & printed an article about the little guy (bakery) going big, several people wanted her autograph.
Imagine that!
Barbara was interviewed by the Why Guy on Channel 8 around 5 am one morning with one of her gingerbread houses in-tow.
We won 1 Silver & 3 Bronze Medals.
This cake was seen on
the Channel 5 News.
It was the 100th
birthday cake for
the city of
Grand Prairie, Tx.
Troy Dungan's retirement cakes which were seen on Channel 8. George Riba & Pete Delkus were fighting over who would get the biggest piece! LOL
One of our wedding cakes was featured on the Channel 5's DFW Today Show.
Cakes for Ruthe
On the top left is a pic of Grand Prairie's Mayor Pro-Tem, Ruthe Jackson, holding her 90th birthday cake @ the Ruthe Jackson Center. Barbara decorated a replica (top right) of the Center in cake. After making that cake, she interviewed Barbara and Karl on her cable show: What's Happening in Grand Prairie. One year, Ruthe presented Barbara & cake to the Commissioner's Court in downtown Dallas. Barbara had her picture taken between John Wiley Price & Ken Mayfield. The judge at-the-time was Judge Jackson. For the finale, Ruthe asked Barbara to present the judge with the cake. Well, Judge Jackson shoved his chair back and threw his arms out because he thought Barbara was going to shove the cake in his face! lol
Boy, did everyone start laughing!
