Pastelaria Balcão do Marquês, based in Lisbon, has started selling Pope Francis cookies in honor of World Youth Day. In accordance with Newspaper, the idea started as a joke but quickly became a sales success. The establishment has cookies with various images of the Pope, the logo of the World Youth Day and even cookies in the shape of a cross.

Now, to celebrate World Youth Day, Fernando Santos, a pastry chef, has asked pastry chef Manuel Carvalho to start making Pope Francis cookies.
