Bakery keeps making 'Build the Wall' cookies

EDMONDS, WA — The baker who made national news earlier this year for selling politically charged sugar cookies continues “ICE”-ing his controversial slogans.

At Edmonds Bakery in recent weeks, a tray with a dozen round red cookies with “Build the Wall” and “Secure Borders” spelled out in white icing was in the glass case shared by colorful ladybug and butterfly shaped treats.

The “Make ’em cry again” cookie wasn’t among the baked goods on that particular day.

Photos of the cookies on social media ignited a new wave of attention — supportive and outraged — for Ken Bellingham’s bakery.

“Unless you want your cookies baked with bigotry, go somewhere else for your pastries!” was among the hundreds of posts.

Others praised him: “Hell yeah! Build the cookies!”

I want secure borders, too, but not an expensive damn wall.

As another example, there are four stores in my neighborhood that sell MAGA hats. I never shop at one of them (because I don't wear baseball caps, and that's all they have), but I still patronize the other three. Stores offer what sells; can't blame them for that. If the hats and the cookies lose their profitable market, the shops will quit offering them.

I'm not convinced that boycotting changes anything. The Rush Limbaugh boycott didn't get him off the air.
