Just Eat It

7132009chicagoist-mj2.jpg

Alliance Bakery on Division St. has created a wonderful way to capitalize on commemorate Michael Jackson. Face cookies. That you eat. Get there quickly to get one with a good nose (really, they're all different and some are hideous.) While we found something tragic about eating Michael Jackson's face, these cookies got us thinking, are there any celebrities we would actually like to see be displayed on food items upon their death? Would you want to stretch out and chew on pink Spencer Pratt face taffy or slice and devour a Kim Jong Il face cake? Or would you feel better eating a beloved Katherine Heigl face scone? Ok. We're creeped out. No more face dessert.

Man in the Cookie

(I like Stealth's suggestion better!)

Vanilla Bean...is not my flavor...

The Way You Make Me Eat ...

Wanna Be Bakin' Something

You know I'm batter, I'm batter, shamon (or whatever he says there at the end).

I Just Can't Stop Eating You

"Bake with You"
"Black and White"
"Cook-ease on Down" (from The Wiz)

Why? Why? Tell them that it's "Cookie Nature"...

I wanna bake with you (all night), frost you in the moon light, I wanna baaaaake with you (all night), bite the night awayyyyy.

That place is fantastic - strongest coffee I've had in Chicago

I'll wait for the Weird Al brownie parody.

I just experienced the worst case of price gouging/ undercover racism over a Michael Jackson cookie at Alliance Bakery. Earlier today Michael Jackson cookies were being sold at Alliance Bakery out of the case for $2.95. Later on today I called to price / time check a special order. Tyler quoted me $2.95 with a two-day notice. I requested for the icing “skin color” of the cookie to be brown instead of white like the original design. Tyler told me this would be done with food coloring not chocolate and the price would remain $2.95. I told Tyler I would call him right back so I could figure out how many cookies to order. I called back less than two minutes later to order two-dozen cookies and was told the cookie was now $3.95. I talked to the owner of Alliance Bakery to share my experience and was yelled at and hung-up on. My question is…Is brown Michael Jackson more delicious than white Michael Jackson? Why did the price increase a dollar for a change in skin color???

I guess it DOES matter if you're black or white....
