Hey FP!
You may remember me from such threads as Help My Family's Bakery Versions 1-3. This is version 4. Meaning this is 4th time I am requesting your help and your power to make a difference once again for my family's bakery, [B]Boosalis Baking[/B].

I know, another thread where someone is asking you to vote for their bakery. Let me apologize, because now it seems like a burden to keep asking for help.
I'll explain why you should vote for us as my hometown's best bakery.
Everything. I mean everything is made from scratch. Real organic ingredients, locally grown produce, and an oven made in France. We are the only bakery within a four hour drive that hand rolls our croissants and we use fresh cream for our scones made by hand. The baguettes are lacy and crunchy. The cheesecake is savory. Our cafe is a friendly neighborhood hangout with sandwiches crafted on artisan breads for your meal. Maybe end your lunch with our world famous blondies, which are white chocolate brownies, the brownie's evil twin.
I'm not one to full around with prescription medication, but I've had one customer in particular who comes into the bakery to buy our ginger molasses cookies and claim and I quote, "[I]These are better than Prozac[/I]."
For those of you, who are alcoholics, you may be interested in our whiskey icing. Getting wasted off of cupcakes is the only way to get wasted. Not a chronic alcoholic? Well, don't worry. We've got the classic butter cream frosting.
Now to let me explain what this bakery has enabled me to have:
It has allowed me to meet and interview incredible people: ([URL]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1257042&highlight=[/URL])
A customer gave me their Pyrenees Mountain puppy dog and who is now my family's pride and joy.
It's allowing me to pay for college.
I don't mean to be overly dramatic because none of these things actually matter. The thing that actually matters is watching my parents light up when they are working early at 3 a.m. doing what they love. I mean if you really genuinely love something, you would do everything in your power to keep the lights on and keep bread on the table. I've said this every thread, that passion they have is something I truly wish to have.
It's incredibly moving to watch them work.

That's a video I made last year.
I made this new video for this year's competition. [video=youtube;P6RPJGr1d1w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6RPJGr1d1w&feature=youtu.be[/video]
I would love to hear your feedback on what I could have done better for my videos.
Every year I say if we win, I'll give you something, Facepunch.
I've delivered every time. Except last year, when we failed to win first place.
But seeing as how you've had two cakes, a cupcake, and my love (you should probably get tested for STD's) I have something else in store for you... It's baking off right now.

Wasn't it you guys that baked an FP cake?
It's been done before, so I have something else in store for you folks.

Voted! also you should make FP cupcakes, that would awesome. :dance:

You have my vote once again. Let's just hope another rival doesn't start a thread for their bakery this year.

Says in the OP that they lost last year so I'm guessing some other bakery found a way to get lots of votes like this.

Voted! :)
Well, Boosalis has the most votes atm. Good.
Voted and looking at the tally so far it looks like Granny C is catching up. Best of luck to you though.
Voted
Seems like every year we compete with Granny C, Wonder what community they are going too,
Voted and Endorsed by your future dictator of America
Hey! Man, when I go to visit my sister in college again I will make sure to stop by and get something! It's on the way there.
Also voted!

Wait do you get something if you win? Or is it just like a title thing?
Burn in hell Cake, Hope & Love, Beavercreek!!
All aboard the Boosalis train!

On a side note, do you guys ship not-too-long distances? I live in Southeast Michigan, and I loooove homemade bread.
voted, Hope you come 1st
There is basically no way for you to NOT win!
I voted btw
[editline]19th June 2013[/editline]
For Granny Cs
[editline]19th June 2013[/editline]
Just kidding
Here's to hoping you guys come in 1st...
Those cookies look fantastic and delicious.
I can taste the orange flavor of the carrots in my mouth
(well the frosting anyway!)
To be quite fair, something being better than Prozac isn't hard to do.
I don't understand how Granny C gets so many votes. They created an account solely for the purpose of getting votes, whereas you're an active member of Facepunch and therefore have some sort of involvement with the community.
That and your thread has videos and pictures while there's is Hey we have a bakery vote for us

He's probably begging for votes elsewhere. Or using some other method like voting through proxies.
Isn't this cheating? None of us have never been to your restaurant, let alone Daytona. You're telling people on the internet "VOTE FOR ME PEOPLE".
Voted with all internet-able devices I could find
