<div><strong>Hi! We’re Brittany and Turrion, owners of The B.E.Z.T. Bakery — pronounced "best", we are a family-owned, faith-led cheesecake bakery named after our four children: B, E, Z, &amp; T.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We started this bakery with nothing but a hand mixer, big dreams, and a belief that God could use even cheesecake to make people feel seen, loved, and cared for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the years, we’ve grown from baking in our home kitchen to becoming a licensed food manufacturer, serving farmers markets, holiday festivals, local businesses, and families all across Minnesota. Every cheesecake is still made from scratch, prayed over, and delivered with love — because we believe <strong>“your meal isn’t complete until you’ve had something sweet.”</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We’re Asking for Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We don’t take asking for help lightly. But as a small, self-funded business raising four children, there are moments God reminds us that <strong>community is part of the miracle</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To stay licensed, continue operating from our commercial kitchen, and serve at markets in 2026, we need help covering a few essential costs — not luxuries, but the foundations that keep The B.E.Z.T. Bakery running.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here’s exactly where your support will go:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Expense</strong> <strong>Amount</strong>
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><strong>Total Needed - $6,550</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve set our campaign goal at $7,000 to cover these costs and platform processing fees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Faith &amp; Foundation</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We can’t do anything without Jesus.
</div>
<div>He is the reason we’re here, the reason we haven’t given up, and the reason we keep showing up with joy even when it’s hard.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One scripture we’re holding onto in this season is:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we ask or imagine, according to His power at work within us.” — Ephesians 3:20
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe He uses people — people like you — to make miracles happen. Your support, whether through giving, praying, or sharing, means more than words can express.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Be Part of This Story</strong>

<div>❤️ <strong>From Our Family to Yours</strong>
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>Brittany, Turrion, and the B.E.Z.T. kids
