EDMONDS, Wash. The owner of Edmonds Bakery is apologizing following social media uproar over politically-charged Valentines Day cookies.
Ken Bellingham says hes responsible for the cookie in question a pink heart frosted with Build that Wall. The cookie was in his display case Thursday. He said he only made one of the design.
But he says hes been making the style of Valentines cookies some more suggestive than others for years.
Some are a little risqué, some are nice, he said. Im back there trying to think of what to write on a cookie. I try to be funny.
The "Build that Wall" cookie is getting more attention online.

On occasion, you will find a MAGAt that can grovel when a light is shown on its actions.

I've never seen or heard anything that would have revealed the political position of anyone there, one way or another. Its in an old building and a fairly small place, three or four tables to eat your treat and have a cup of coffee. The most remarkable thing about the place is the shelf that runs all around the place, near the ceiling, with maybe 75 or more cookie jars, no two alike and none of which are political. I'D hate to see a purist-driven reaction to someone's stupid joke without further evidence of some political wrongdoing.
