A Flower Mound bakery’s promotion of profanity-laced anti-Trump cookies drew wider attention Monday after Libs of TikTok highlighted the business’s Facebook post ahead of the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas.
Hive Bakery announced Sunday that it plans to offer the cookies Tuesday through Saturday. A photo accompanying the post showed white-frosted cookies stamped with a profane message targeting President Donald Trump, with bee graphics obscuring part of the word.
“We read that Orange Face will be in Dallas this week for the GOP midterm Convention so we’re making special cookies Tuesday-Saturday!” the bakery wrote.
Bakery criticizes Trump
Hive’s post listed grievances involving food, prices, abortion policy, immigration detention, wild horses, LGBT issues, what it described as a war with Iran, the Epstein files, tariffs, artificial intelligence data centers, Flock cameras and Project 2025.
The bakery wrote, “Our food is poison,” in the same post promoting the cookies.
It also used the phrases “Orange Face,” “fa$cist regime” and “criminal clowns.”
“We’re absolutely disgusted by these criminal clowns and what they’ve done to America, and even more repulsed that Orange Face will be in our city this week. F$&k T$UMP,” Hive wrote.
By 12:45 p.m. CDT Monday, the Facebook post displayed about 30,000 reactions and 1,300 comments.
In its X post, Libs of TikTok called the promotion a “full blown TDS meltdown.”
“Can’t they just like sell cakes and not make it about Trump??” the account asked.
The X post displayed more than 68,000 views at the same time. Trump carried Denton County in 2024 by 13.1 percentage points, official results show.
Trump heads to Dallas
Trump will appear during both nights of the Republican Midterm Convention, which runs Wednesday and Thursday at American Airlines Center, and deliver Thursday’s keynote address. Vice President JD Vance will deliver Wednesday’s keynote, according to the official schedule.
American Airlines Center will have capacity for more than 20,000 attendees, including media, an RNC spokesperson previously told The Dallas Express.
This is not Hive’s first viral political cookie promotion. On July 3, the bakery said it would not celebrate Independence Day, called MAGA “a cult” and later sold cookies displaying an upside-down American flag with the words “UNDER DISTRESS.”
The July promotion prompted boycott calls, supportive crowds and continued sellouts, KRLD reported.
