Inaugural cake 2017 by Buttercream Bakeshop

Buttercream Bakeshop, a bakery located in the heart of Washington DC,  explained via Instagram post that Trump’s inaugural committee asked for the exact same cake that celeb chef Duff Goldman made for the 2nd Obama inaugural festivities four years ago.

Duff recognized the design immediately:

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

Buttercream says it will donate the profits for the cake to the Human Rights Campaign.

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!
