Captivating the Heart and Taste Buds: The Flour Petal Bakery Redefines the Sweet Industry in Cypress
A Cypress-area bakery is redefining the sweet industry, while creating a fun-filled and joyous environment for its diverse clientele. The Flour Petal Bakery, founded by the talented Courtney Nguyen, is capturing the hearts, taste buds, and imagination of Houston's suburbs one cake at a time.
Raised in Katy, Courtney, a Baylor graduate with a background in biology, chemistry, and public health, found herself on a journey from healthcare to cake layers. "I quickly learned that healthcare was not the right place for me," she shared. Her passion for pastries led to the birth of The Flour Petal Bakery. "After Covid restrictions lifted, I left healthcare and put everything into the bakery business which has been completely blessed and has just blossomed into more than I could have imagined."
Her love for her craft can be tasted in every delicious bite. Whether you are celebrating a wedding, birthday, or any other special occasion, The Flour Petal Bakery promises to "sweeten the deal." As Courtney puts it, "Being able to be a tiny part of so many big celebrations is something so special and unique."

Courtney’s enthusiastic love for her work, her clients, and her community has led her to offer enchanting cake decorating classes. Operating as Cake Classes HTX, she offers lessons on how to decorate confections like a pro. From galentine's brunch classes to mommy-and-me sessions, there is a class for everyone, with classes held at private locations as well as venues across the Greater Houston Area like Majestic Oaks in Tomball, Trading Spaces and Elevate Creative Studios in Houston, and Cane Island Conservatory in Katy.
Courtney's vision for her bakery goes beyond just business. She envisions it as a place where people can gather and make sweet memories over pastries. "I have always dreamed of having a cute café and bakery," shared Courtney, whose confections have recently been featured on Great Day Houston with Deborah Duncan.

Additionally, Courtney regularly participates with Dine Out For Charity events with Metta’s Local Eats benefiting Cy-Fair Helping Hands, and the Taste of Cy-Fair event benefitting Cy-Hope.
The Flour Petal Bakery provides not just a treat for the palate but an experience that touches the heart. Every cake is a labor of love, every class an opportunity to create, learn, and have fun. So whether you're planning a special event, learning to decorate your own cake, or simply exploring the local bakery scene, remember Courtney Nguyen's words: "desserts just help sweeten the deal."
