Following the new USA President’s inauguration, Duff Goldman, American celebrity pastry chef from the Food Network, tweeted a picture that set social media aflame.

The cake on the left is the one I made for President Obama’s inauguration 4 years ago. The one on the right is Trumps. I didn’t make it. ?? pic.twitter.com/qJXpCfPhii

He compared the inauguration cake that he’d made for former President Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2013 with the one that was seen at Donald Trump’s inauguration on 20 January 2017. When placed side by side the cakes have a striking resemblance and look so identical that one would swear it was made by Goldman himself. Except it wasn’t.

It didn’t take Twitter users long to add more flour to the already thickening batter.

Next thing you know Trump’s healthcare plan is gonna plagiarize Obama’s. #cakegate

Buttercream Bakeshop, who in fact made Trump’s inauguration cake came forward on Instagram and revealed that while they “love creating original designs” they were “asked to replicate someone else’s”.

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! (Check out Tuesday’s Instagram post to see how much we were able to donate!)

The Washington Post reported that neither Goldman, nor representatives from Trumps transition team or inauguration teams delivered adequate comment on the matter. When they reached out to Buttercream Bakeshop, Tiffany MacIsaac revealed that she was the one who made the cake.

She said that a client brought in a photo of Obama’s cake and asked them re-create it. When the bakery tried to encourage the client to use the picture as inspiration, the notion was shot down and they were told “Nope, they want this exact cake. It’s perfect”, to which the bakery agreed to make it exactly the same. She also added that only 3 inches of the bottom of the cake was edible (the rest being Styrofoam) and that the proceeds all went to America’s largest civil rights organization.

Knowing that the profits went to charity made us feel a bit better, however we can’t help but notice a serious lack of originality in the new First family…
