A Los Angeles bakery called Modern Bite whipped up a few [vanilla cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-cake-cookie) with caricatures of the presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Along with their portraits are illustrations of animals or other figures that inspired catchphrases or little memes throughout the election period. Each election cookie gift box comes in a [beautiful silver tin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-forest-cookie-can) that can be saved and reused once the sweets inside have been devoured. These yummy vote cookies might sway your mind about who you cast your ballot for at the polls on November 6. The question is whether the Obama or Romney cookies taste best. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Political](https://www.trendhunter.com/political) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Political Caricature Sweets:** Opportunity to create personalized sweets with caricatures of political figures for marketing or events. - **Election-themed Food Products:** Chance to develop election-themed food products that engage consumers and promote political awareness. - **Reusable Packaging for Food Gifts:** Potential to create sustainable and reusable packaging solutions for gifting food items. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bakery:** Bakeries can offer customized political caricature sweets to cater to customers during election seasons. - **Marketing and Events:** Marketing and event companies can partner with bakeries to create unique election-themed food products for promotional purposes. - **Packaging Industry:** Packaging companies can innovate and provide sustainable packaging solutions for food gifts, emphasizing reusability and eco-friendliness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expansive Electoral Candy Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/election-collection.md) - [Giftable Cookie Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-cookie.md) - [Customizable Cookie Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-cookie-box.md) - [Elevated Holiday-Ready Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/last-crumb-2.md) - [Voter Activation Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churn-out-the-vote.md) - [Complimentary Election Day Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-election-day.md) - [Holiday Dinner Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-thanksgiving-dinner.md) - [Cookie Gifting Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destroymediocrity.md) - [Customizable Halloween-Themed Treat Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloweenthemed-treat-box.md)
