Baker Confirms The Inaugural Cake She Made For Trump Was Exact Copy Of Obama's

The baker for President Trump's inaugural cake is clearing the air about the controversial cake, Delish reports.

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!)

It turns out the cake was supposed to look exactly like Obama's past inaugural cake.

Food Network star Duff Goldman took to twitter on Friday telling his fans that he was surprised to see an extremely similar cake to the one he baked four years ago for Obama on stage.

Since his tweet grabbed so many people's attention, the baker behind Trump's cake finally stepped forward and explained everything.

Tiffany Maclsaac, owner of D.C.'s Buttercream Bakeshop, says her team was given a photo of Obama's cake and was asked to replicate it. They tried to use the photo as inspiration, but the client wanted a complete replica.

"They said, 'Nope, they want this exact cake. It's perfect,'" MacIsaac said.

The profits of the cake sale were donated to the Human Rights Campaign. "Basic human rights are something every man, woman and child~ straight, gay or the rainbow in between~ deserve," the bakery wrote in an Instagram post.

Three hours after the bakery explained the misunderstanding, Goldman tweeted at Maclsaac asking for her phone number. He then tweeted a statement smoothing over the situation.
