MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. (CBS) — A bakery in Mount Laurel has gotten creative to sell Super Bowl -themed cakes. General manager Jen Mulcahey said last year when the Eagles were playing in the big game, they easily sold lots of celebratory cakes.
This year, they knew it would take some innovation.
First, they polled their customers on Facebook and asked who people were rooting for – the Chiefs, the 49ers, or “who cares.” The winner, at 51% of the votes? “Who cares.”
“I think a lot of people are just kind of like ‘whatever’ about it,” Mulcahey said.
The team at Gallo’s Bakery used that to their advantage. The phrase “whoever vs. who cares” has now been decorated on green-frosted cakes that also feature the Eagles logo.
Friday, Roseann Mancini, who lives near the bakery, bought one as soon as she saw it. She is headed to a Super Bowl party hosted by Eagles fans.
“So get the one on ‘who cares!'” Mancini said.
There are also several cakes featuring Philly favorite Jason Kelce, decorated with the phrase, “No one likes us, we don’t care,” from Kelce’s famous 2018 Super Bowl Parade speech.
