EDMONDS, Wash. (AP) — A bakery owner in Edmonds is apologizing for a politically charged Valentine’s Day cookie that generated an uproar on social media.
KING 5 reports that Ken Bellingham, who owns Edmonds Bakery, has gotten phone calls from customers about making a heart-shaped cookie with “Build that Wall” in frosting letters.
The wall refers to President Donald Trump’s signature campaign promise to build a southern-border wall.
The cookie was one of several decorated with messages such as “Addicted to Love” and “Cool Beans.”
Bellingham says the cookie was a joke and not meant as a political statement.
“Some are a little risqué, some are nice . . . . I try to be funny,” he says.
