Take the natural numbers as the dense discrete subspace of their Stone-Čech compactification $\beta \mathbb{N}$. The ambient compact Hausdorff space is normal, and the Stone-Čech extension property makes this subspace $C^b$-embedded. It is not $C$-embedded: the continuous function $n\mapsto n$ is unbounded, whereas every continuous real-valued function on a compact space is bounded. The subspace is not closed, so this does not contradict the preceding closed-subspace theorem.
