Almost 10 years ago, a friend asked Jasmine Cho if she could create cookies with her face on it. Cho agreed and when she noticed “a buzz” around the cookies, she wondered if she could use her baking for another purpose. “There was this persistent feeling of not belonging, of irrelevance and a lot of that is very much aggravated for me due to the fact that I don’t have much remembrance of studying Asian Americans in particular,” Cho, 40, owner of Butter and Joy in Pittsburgh, tells TODAY.com.
” “I’m planning to create a sort of mini portrait gallery specifically from figures from my children’s book, ‘Role Models Who Look Like Me,’” she says. “It watercolor illustrations that I did.” 'Making history right now' When Cho hears about a famous Asian American or Pacific Islander she had not heard of before that often encourages her to make them into a portrait cookie.
