TAMPA Fl, (BLOOM) – Election Day isn’t just about ballots this year—at least not at Tampa’s iconic Alessi Bakery. This year, customers have been casting their “votes” in a unique and delicious way: by purchasing cookies decorated with images of the 2024 presidential candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Since the cookie campaign kicked off on September 10, these tasty political treats have been flying off the shelves.
Alessi Bakery’s manager says the cookie race has stirred up excitement among their loyal customers, adding a bit of sweetness to the election season. And after nearly two months of sales, they’ve got some surprising numbers. As of today, November 5, the bakery sold 1,201 Kamala Harris cookies, but Trump cookies took a significant lead with 2,276 sales. If cookies could vote, it seems like Tampa’s taste buds are predicting a landslide victory for Trump.
“It’s been a lot of fun seeing people come in and cast their ‘vote’ with a cookie,” the manager shared. While Alessi’s cookie poll might not be scientific, it’s certainly a snapshot of where the cookie crumbles—at least for Tampa’s sweet tooth.
Local election predictions might come from more traditional sources, but Alessi Bakery’s cookie poll has become a beloved, lighthearted tradition. Whether customers are buying based on personal preference or purely to satisfy their cravings, this cookie campaign has been a recipe for fun and community engagement.
If you’re looking to “vote” with your taste buds, the bakery’s presidential cookies will be available until the end of today. So, head over to Alessi Bakery and join Tampa’s tastiest poll before the last cookie crumbles!
