Hey FP, THREAD MUSIC [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB1m2HU_oik[/media] [media] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1gfZwejPv8[/url][/media] I know -[b] I know [/b]. I've delayed the cake and for too long you've said," Bake it or get baked." So let me fill you in on what happened if you weren't apart of Facepunch during the time of the bakery incident. A contest was set out by the local newspaper for best hometown bakery. I decided to ask the very elusive Facepunch to help our little bakery out. So that night we were 7 votes in at I want to say at 8 pm EST. The lead was something like 600+ votes. The thread is posted titled," Help My Family's Bakery". The first fifteen minutes in I thought," Oh well it was worth a shot." Then it happened, 50 + votes. By midnight we were 2nd. By something like 2 or 3 am we were first. I couldn't believe it. I literally was shaking. We got nasty emails from the competitors saying we cheated. Some may recall the comment,"we hacked and court action was going to take place". It never did. I decided to take down the link to make it fair game for them. Yeah sure, [i]fair[/i] was an understatement. I clogged the mass FP flood of votes. Little by little though, I got comments from you guys saying that I shouldn't have clogged it. [QUOTE=GreenDolphin;22876026]Hate mail? How very unprofessional and childish. If I ever go to Ohio I know Boosalis is one bakery I'll go to for sure. Also the votes should just annihilate them completely then in that case.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=BlazeFresh;22874369]Hate mail from people? People really are childish! I would consider them 'sore losers'. I know if i ever make a trip to Ohio i'll be visiting Boosalis for sure. Don't feel bad about it, like you said it's no different from facebook! If someone in your town, that's never been to any of the bakerys can vote, then why can't someone from a forum, that's never been?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Goptrop;22879118][url]http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dayton-OH/Ashleys-Pastry-Shop/254245362437?v=wall[/url] Oh yeah, Ashleys is totally not using the internet at all. [editline]02:38PM[/editline] [url]http://twitter.com/ashleyspastries[/url][/QUOTE] [QUOTE='[ApS] Elf;22885046']It's hardly ruined, this isn't against the rules: and if it is, then so is the facebook page. This doesn't say no internet advertisement? Just basically no bots. Here it doesn't say you CAN'T use other methods, it just says "the way to get lots of votes" instead of "the way you must get lots of votes". So, if you're saying FP is wrong then so is Facebook, yus.[/QUOTE] When you guys came to my defense I decided, screw it I'm going to finish what I got myself into. I did repost the link and we won (when I say we I mean you Facepunch). We won so much that we had some other bakeries percentage of voters in the less than. It was all good and after the 4th of July rush week was over, the cake would be done. The whole entire world seemed to crumble for me though right after the whole entire bakery contest. My good dog had to be put down on the 10th of July. We had to put her down because she had breathing problems which led to seizures. It was a metaphysical experience, because you look at something dead and you realize that is what you'll become. My views on the world changed. I didn't want to hang out with my friends. I just wanted to grief with my family. [b]So did you have any intentions of making us a god damn cake?[/b] Yes, I just needed a break from life before I could make a cake. And I did. I made the cake with the logo, so I'm no pro. The cake was made by a friend. I work with bread. Bread is not cake.

I figure this is it. If I get banned, I'm sorry for wasting your time everyone. [b]Facepunch, I'm doing it again though. We've got another contest this time.[/b] The time period is shorter though, the end of tonight EST time at midnight we either win or lose. I think because for time's sake I'll do cupcakes this time. [url]http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/[/url] Vote for Boosalis Baking! Have a happy Valentines Day next week.
Is it a whole [I]grain[/I] cake?
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;27884800]I want a facepunch cake....[/QUOTE] Another one? I'd be happy to make another one. I apologize for the cut in the middle. I had the camera on internal memory and I couldn't find the chord to upload the full cake...
I fucking love cake. My favourite flavour is media tagged.
eww
Sorry also another contest. [b] Vote for Boosalis Baking[/b] at [url]http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/[/url] If we win, I'll do cupcakes "Rate Agree" I'll do another cake, but not as sloppy. "Rate Disagree"
Rescale images. I have to use scroll bars to see every part of the images, nice cake though.
Only going till 12 EST? Too late to run to the store and start, maybe next time. Those cakes look great by the way, good job.
Send me that cake son. EDIT: Looks delicious
I remember that thread. Glad to hear you ended up winning. Congrats
