A edible ode to Robert Indiana

by Marisa McClellan, Posted Feb 21st 2008 @ 4:31PM

In this country, there are versions of Robert Indiana's LOVE Scupture in New York, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Provo, Utah and Wichita, KS. Around the world, you can find it in Japan, Taiwan, Spain, Portugal, Singapore and Canada. Here in Philadelphia, we have two, one in JFK Plaza (also known as LOVE Park, home of many a contentious skate boarding confrontation) and another on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Because we have two, we tend to look at it as a symbol of our city, particular since Philly is also known as the City of Brotherly Love.

Local baker/artisan Zoe Lukas has taken the famous image, rendered it in royal frosting on the top of a very large cookie. Thus the LOVE cookie is born. I haven't seen one in person yet, but from the pictures it looks like a true replica as well as a tasty dessert. Yum!
