A new pope? Time to make cookies with this Queens Bakery.

Just like that, the edible pope.

The height last week of Leo, who was born, Robert Francis Prevost and grew up in Chicago, inspired Merchandise makers in the US. Bakery in Milwaukee has made cookies with a statue – A figure with an American flag, with a miter above his head. The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame MuseumAlso in Milwaukee, dolls from Francis and Leo sells in white robes.

Leo is not the first pope to receive the cookie treatment from Notaro, whose bakery, La Guli, has been in the same place in Astoria for 88 years, a few doors of the church they visit. She made cookies with an image of Pope Francis when he visited New York almost ten years ago. She said she considered Francis as ‘special’, a pope who looked forward to marginalized people.

During his trip to New York, Francis drove through Central Park in the Popemobile and visited a school in Harlem. But the appetite for Francis cookies faded after he returned to Rome, and notaro made what she took on her last game.

Then, last year, Francis visited an Italian prison where he said he had been sad to hear that some prisoners had taken their own lives. He insisted on prisoners to “talk to God about our pain and to help each other to wear it.” He also begged “those who can take action in this area” to work “for improving prison life.” (Francis showed a care for prisoners until the end. Less than a month after a hospitalization of 38 days, he visited another prison on Holy Thursday and donated 200,000 euros, about $ 225,000, to prisoners, according to the accounts that the auxiliary bishop has run the Vatican’s office for prison care. Francis died four days later.)

In Queens, someone notaro told about a mass on Rikers Island who was planned and asked if she would like to be involved. The location alone was a challenge, she said: “I never even wanted to pass” the bridge to the restless prison complex, about one and a half miles from the pastry shop. “It made me sad,” she added. “I don’t think everyone there is a criminal. Some people just made a mistake.”
