A local bakery in Texas is ????? ????????? ?? ?????? ??????? ????????receiving an outpouring of support after a customer canceled a large order because the bakery wished the LGBTQ community a happy Pride month.
The Lufkin, Texas-based bakery Confections posted a photo of rainbow heart cookies on Facebook on Wednesday, captioned, "More LOVE. Less hate. Happy Pride to all our LGBTQ friends! All lovers of cookies and happiness are welcome here."
The following day, the shop posted an update stating that they had lost a "significant amount of followers" because of the last post, and that one customer canceled an order of five dozen summer-themed cookies because of their support for the LGBTQ community. The order was already baked, decorated, and set for pick up the next day when the former customer canceled it.
"My heart is heavy," Confections owners Miranda and Dawn wrote on the page. "If you love our cookies we will have an overabundance of them tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow will be better."
Confections added that they would sell the order, which they had just finished decorating when the irate customer canceled it, as individually wrapped cookies.
The response to the post was overwhelming. The small bakery, which had been "struggling to stay afloat" through the last year received an outpouring of support from across the country. Their posts received tens of thousands of likes on Facebook as word spread of the backlash. In lieu of accepting donations, the owners asked supporters to donate to local animal shelters instead. The bakery also shared a photo a customer took Friday afternoon, which shows patrons lined up around the block.
Miranda and Dawn, who are sisters, announced in a Facebook post Saturday that Confections was sold out of all its products in the flurry of support.
"In the 11 years we've been open we've never seen anything quite like this," Dawn said in a Facebook post. "We...are just so humbled and grateful by the outpouring of love. The last several people in our shop put money on their credit card for us to donate because there was nothing left to purchase."
In an edit, Miranda added that Confections would donate the funds to local animal rescues.
"We've always had such faith in humanity, and y'all have just reconfirmed the ABSOLUTE BEAUTY in human nature," Confections said in another post.
