Trump's inaugural ball cake looked suspiciously like Obama's from 2013
Looks like we have a copy-cake on our hands.
Baker and Food Network personality Duff Goldman created a cake for President Obama's "Commander-in-Chief" inaugural ball in 2013. On Friday, however, he noticed a very similar cake in the news -- the cake at one of Donald Trump's inaugural balls.

Turns out, the resemblance wasn't a coincidence. According to Tiffany MacIsaac of Buttercream Bakeshop, the order she received from Trump's team requested an exact replica of Goldman's 2013 creation.
"Duff Goldman originally created this for Obama's inauguration 4 years ago," she wrote on Instagram, "and this years committee commissioned us to re-create it."
But -- hold up -- the D.C. bakeshop isn't keeping the profits from the commission. "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," she continued.
FYI, the Trump cake is mostly made of Styrofoam -- it's intended primarily to be a display item. But it's a good lookin' cake nonetheless. That Obama team had great taste, huh?
