Bakery Acknowledges it Copied Obama’s Inauguration Cake for Trump, Says It Will Donate Profits

Over the weekend, Baker Duff Goldman noticed something about President Donald Trump‘s inauguration cake. It’s pretty much the exact same thing he made for President Barack Obama‘s inauguration four years ago, and he didn’t make this one.

The bakery responded pretty much in the best way possible. In an Instagram post, DC’s Buttercream Bakeshop acknowledged that they were asked to recreate the design from 2013. They also said they’re going to be donating all of the profits from the cake. “Best part is all the profits are being donated to @humanrightscampaign, one of our favorite charities who we have loved working with over the years. Because basic human rights are something every man, woman and child~ straight, gay or the rainbow in between~ deserve!”

Excited to share the cake we got to make for one of last night’s inaugural balls. While we most love creating original designs, when we are asked to replicate someone else’s work we are thrilled when it is a masterpiece like this one. @duff_goldman originally created this for Obama’s inauguration 4 years ago and this years committee commissioned us to re-create it. Best part is all the profits are being donated to @humanrightscampaign, one of our favorite charities who we have loved working with over the years. Because basic human rights are something every man, woman and child~ straight, gay or the rainbow in between~ deserve!

Goldman and the bakery had a bit of a back and forth on Twitter, and it seems all is forgiven:

Thanks for the chat @Duff_Goldman. You are a class act!
