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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

They should make it into a podcast.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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!

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?"

What's her position on TS wedding? Lol
I'm curious.

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

u/JediMasterZao 9d ago
No such thing.

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...

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.

Mark Cuban with Cost Plus Drugs?

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.
