"Build the Wall" Cookie Causes Controversy for State of Washington Bakery

[louis c]

<snip>A bakery in Edmonds, Washington, stirred up controversy over a politically-charged sugar cookie adorned with the words "Build that Wall" — a reference to President Donald Trump's repeated statements to build a wall along the US-Mexico border.

Ken Bellingham, owner of Edmonds Bakery, told NBC-affiliate King 5 News that the pink-frosted heart cookie was meant as a joke, not a political statement.

Customer Ana Carrera snapped a photo of the cookie sitting in a display case at the bakery and shared it on Facebook. She said the message on the cookie is no laughing matter.

"A cookie like this does represent that there is some hate coming out this bakery," she told the news outlet. "Whether he chooses to admit it or not."<snip>
