“Hi, my name is Mindy and I’m the owner of Made with Love Bakery. Here at Made with Love, our specialty is all of the baked goods you need for that moment. You know what I’m talking about.

“A beautiful summer day in a park, eating ice cream, and drinking lemonade with your friends. But, sometimes, you’re stuck inside at work. The exact reason why I made Summer Day, a shortbread sandwich cookie filled with a sweet and tart lemon cream. The crisp crunch of a waffle cone and the refreshing brevity of a fresh-squeezed lemonade.

“Or, that dreary fall Saturday morning and all you want to do is sit by a cozy, crackling fire in an oversized flannel, with a fleece blanket, a good book, and your favourite hot drink. That’s why we have The Weather Girls, a nod to the one-hit wonders. They are a trio of chocolates. Whether you prefer your rainy day drink caffeinated or just sweet, this is perfect for you. First, a classic milk-chocolate truffle with a chocolate ganache and marshmallow centre. Second, a dark truffle with a rich espresso centre. And, last but not least, a white chocolate truffle with a fall spiced tea filling. I could just eat them right now!

“What about the time of year when the leaves start to change and all the grocery stores are putting out their pies. Instead of buying a full pie of each flavour, just get the All Fall pie, a collection of your favourite pie flavours: apple, pumpkin, pecan, chocolate, and custard. Each piece of the pie is perfect for sharing, so the only thing your family has to fight over is how many pies to get!

“But, at Made with Love, all of those sweet treats are great, that’s not what we are known for. Here, we started this bakery with the basics–good bread–and that’s how we end each day, too. Every day we make bread to order, whether it’s a whole load or individual sweet rolls, which means we bake throughout the day, what’s better than the smell of fresh baked bread? Nothing! If you’re not convinced, stop on by and ask for a little piece of something that just came out of the over. Homemade…”

“Mindy, that’s great and all. Very informative. But it’s way too long. Remember, 20 seconds is the goal, and 45 seconds is the absolute max. You’ve been talking for minutes!”

“But, I was just…I was just hoping that …”

“Mindy, I can help you shorten it, but until then your commercial can’t be recorded and aired. I’m sorry, really.”
