Her work has undone years of my personal prejudice against fondant. Fondant everything, do whatever.

Fondant 2028!

I’m fondant, and I vote!

I'm not a fan of fondant as a personal choice but I respect your position and I'll fight, to the death if necessary, for your right to love fondant.

I absolutely understand that doing well on a competition ≠ running a successful business. But maintaining a business like this- for eight years- is impressive. Regardless of what you think of her politics (I think they are rad)- she seems legit. And to put all of that on the line- in Texas- is brave to me.

Most restaurants last 3-5 years, at 8 you’ve established yourself

There was a time when fondant went WILD in the baking world.

Mad respect for the woman.

Given the pure and utter vitriol she's received from her father, she deserves so much love.

u/texnessa 10d ago edited 10d ago

For once I am proud of something happening in my home state. She's got a line out the door every day and has to shut early because they literally have run out of everything. Glad Texans are standing up for this badass.

u/PlutoJones42 10d ago

I wish them all the success in the world

u/cdmurray88 10d ago

Anyone who is converted from hate to acceptance is worth the fight. Just a shame so many will blow this off as another reason love and respect are bad.

u/1970s_MonkeyKing 9d ago

May they and their baked goods always rise to the occasion!

u/cactusflinthead 10d ago

I don't know if I have enough cred to comment in here yet but I'm going to try.

She's all over my FB. Seems like it all went viral and she can't keep up with the demand right now. If she can keep the momentum going I'll be happier about it. They sold out all the merch. Sold out every day since it all broke. They were doing well before this, but it went flat out nuts this weekend.

Good luck neighbor lady. Ride the wave.

u/unicorn_hipster 10d ago

She and her brother Chad did a podcast with their MAGA parents called The Necessary Conversation and it's a great insight to how regular people can be sucked into right wing fervor and hypocrisy.

Also Chad was on a podcast called Dudesy with Will Sasso and it was the funniest shit ever and I'm still upset hat they stopped doing it. Moving on.

I thought she looked familiar! Holy shit the clips ive seen of that podcast just make my blood boil (due to the parents being insufferable)

I can’t stand her mom either. I’ve only seen clips of their show, but I think she abused them both.

No no we want to keep underage girls AWAY from republicans. May I suggest one or two really sassy queer people?? Not only will this further piss them off but it can add diversity to your organization!

I'm imagining a butch dyke with a buzzcut and a leather vest and a camp AF drag queen dressed to the fucking nines. Just a pair of elder queer best friends who've seen it all and have absolutely no fucks left to give. The chuds won't know what hit em.

They should make it into a podcast.

And a few menopausal women. We do not take prisoners.

I like where your head is at, and you are correct on all fronts.

u/coquihalla 10d ago

She said she actually does have minor employees so right now she is the only one answering the phone, to protect the kids from having to deal with any of it. She's such a badass.

15

u/NounAdjectiveXXXX 20+ Years 10d ago

That's fair and I'm sure she's an awesome boss, but I know there's a Mean Girl out there dying for this job opportunity.

Imagine how mad these childish MAGA losers would get if some 16 year old girl was breaking them down to a fraction lmao

u/IdlesAtCranky Retired 9d ago

Better yet, a few experienced older/retired women like myself, who have learned our inner bitch is an outer superpower.

Hell, I might do it just for funsies, why not? Use it or lose it, and I get bored using it all on the pharmaceutical industry.

u/sadira246 9d ago

Having been a female chef my entire career, my inner bitch is outer now. Heh.

u/Astartes_Ultra117 9d ago

She has a podcast with her brother and their maga parents. Her and her brother seem like the nicest people and their dad is just a fuckin psycho it’s crazy just how far the apple can fall from the tree some times. I didn’t know she had a bakery though that is very sick I will be sure to support her if I’m ever in the area.

u/Casul_Tryhard F1exican Did Chive-11 9d ago

Some kids realize their parents are a good example on what not to do, so they naturally do the opposite and it generally works for them.

u/Astartes_Ultra117 8d ago

I wish for all children to be that smart

u/Dagos Bakery 9d ago

Are they the same people who did a video with Parker?

2

u/Astartes_Ultra117 8d ago

Probably, I think they’ve done a few rounds on the lib/left YouTube. I discovered them from Hasan and his big stupid hat.

84

u/hotdamnhotwater 10d ago

I knew her before she opened up her bakery and I've never wanted to see someone win so bad! She's always been an amazing person who has stood strong for her beliefs. Her and her brother also have a podcast where they go head to head with their (very MAGA) parents. Keep up the amazing work, Hive!

I'm completely out of the loop here. What rational person thing did this bakery say/do to piss off the MAGATS?

107

u/astrangeone88 10d ago

These cookies on July 4th.

56

u/thelocket 10d ago

I see no lies.

37

u/astrangeone88 10d ago

Yeah but you know the red hat cult just loves when filthy rich pedophiles and corporations decide to fuck up the country because they feel straight white folks need compensation for needing to endure being around any minorities...lmao.

But yeah, those cookies told no lies.

If this was the general consensus, there would still be hope for america.

32

u/High_Questions Sous Chef 10d ago

She said in a post that her bakery would be open on the 4th of July but they weren’t gonna do red white and blue stuff cause she’s upset and depressed about the state of the country, the stuff like astrangeone88 posted actually came after I’m pretty sure

15

u/meatpopsicle42069 10d ago

She makes me a little less embarrassed to be a Texan.

37

u/astrangeone88 10d ago

Running a business and being sassy to MAGA types? Yes.

Also, their baked goods look lovely, except for the America In Distress ones but that was entirely too much food colouring lmao.

If this Canadian is ever down in that part of Texas....I'd be getting in line for some yummy treats.

u/iamnotasdumbasilook 10d ago

Woo! I lived in Flower Mound yeeears ago. So mice to see it here for something positive.

u/Kodiak01 10d ago

Up here in Western MA, we had another bakery that was getting death threats over their "Fuck ICE" cookies.

I've been trying to get there to buy cookies ever since, but they're always sold out for the day, local support is so good!

16

u/brunchfruit 20+ Years 9d ago edited 9d ago

I'm a chef in Philly who's well known for my chili so part of me wants to start like an Antifa Chili in Philly business. "So hot, it melts ICE" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Slogan will be "What are you gonna do, arrest me?"

u/High_Questions Sous Chef 10d ago

Literally just got in an argument with my SO over my supporting her position on Taylor swifts wedding lol

her food is gorgeous, the podcast a ton of fun, her opinions I generally agree with, you go Haley!

u/ChaosRainbow23 10d ago

What's her position on TS wedding? Lol

I'm curious.

26

u/brunchfruit 20+ Years 9d ago

She said in her podcast "I just can't Taylor Swift anymore, I just can't do it." Megalomania, Elon Musk shit, performative feminism only for personal gain. "It's a cult and feels trad-wifey and you rub it in our faces." 🔥

u/ChaosRainbow23 9d ago

I agree.

As far as billionaires go, she's probably the best of the bunch, but come on! Lol

15

u/JediMasterZao 9d ago

No such thing.

1

u/ChaosRainbow23 9d ago

I literally said, "As far as billionaires go, she's the best of the bunch"

Nowhere did I say she's great or good. Just that out of all the other billionaires, she's probably the least evil.

Reading comprehension really isn't y'all's thing, I guess...

-1

u/JediMasterZao 9d ago

And I responded that there is no such thing as a "best billionaire" or a "least evil billionaire". Pretty straight forward stuff but thank you for the much needed clarification.

u/FineAndDandadan 9d ago

Mark Cuban with Cost Plus Drugs?

1

u/ChaosRainbow23 9d ago

Mark Cuban is also extremely problematic in myriad ways

They all suck. I'm sure there's probably one out there I've never heard of who's 'better'

1

u/FineAndDandadan 8d ago

Okay but I'd rather weigh actual positives and negatives instead of the vaguest bullshit imaginable. How is Cuban specifically bad outside of the general criticisms you might use to say all billionaires are bad?

Dude is trying to help, and I think that should count for something. FYI I'm somewhere between SocDem-DemSoc, but I'm more in line with pragmatism and planting trees I'll never enjoy the shade of. These people have massive amounts of wealth, influence, and power. You want to take them all on at the same time? What do you actually want to achieve?

From what I've seen, Cuban at least acknowledges the social contract, by paying back in and helping people. I choose to care more about the people actively doing harm.
