On Instagram, the company told the story behind the cake. They wrote that the cake actually was a rip-off of a design created by Food Network star baker Duff Goldman for Obama’s inauguration 4 years ago. Buttercream Bakeshop also affirmed their support for LGBTQ rights.

Duff Goldman confirms that the design is a copy of his work:

But Goldman expressed support of Buttercream Bakeshop’s work:

\n

And so do we! Exposing Trump’s pathetic plagiarism and giving his money to help the queer community is a pretty sweet way to say, “Fuck you.”
