We aren’t even a full 24 hours into the new administration and we already have our first scandal. Celebrity chef Duff Goldman took one look at the inauguration cake last night and declared that it was a ripoff of his design for Obama’s second inauguration.
Was the design copyright protected and if so who owns the copyright today?
Yea, Obama’s cake was a rainbow cake, Trump’s was red white and blue. No comparison.
Well, not exactly the same. A naked gay stripper didn’t pop out of Trump’s cake.
Relax, Duff. That cake is the only part of the Obama regime which Trump will copy. Think of his cake as a gesture of bipartisanship.
If cakes can be copyrighted, the guy has a case.
It’s the same damn cake.
I highly doubt Trump had anything to do with it, however.
So?
Not good. How hard would it be to come up with an original design. What about a basket weave pattern in the fondant/icing to represent the “basket of deplorable.”
It’s also not executed as well as the original cake. The edges aren’t clean and straight.
Whoever thought this was a good idea really needs to be smacked upside the head and/or fired.
Duff got his 15 minutes of fame “twice”, and this time he made no effort.
Nice PR stunt for cake maker and a bullshit effort by the “daily news” to tie in plagiarism. The daily snooze.
Wait until they find out Trumps shoes were black and shiny. Just like Obama’s. Both times.
The one on the left has ghetto lite all over it.
The right one is clearly a do over, which is a clear indication that the cake maker wanted to correct his previous error.
By the way, only a fag would have noticed the similarities. Faggit, get a life.
No one is going to rain on my (now) Day(s) of Jubilee! I’ve turned off the tee vee and making The World’s Best Lasagne for Geoff C. B-day today. Though of much humbler proportions, he will then dine on Queen Elizabeth Spice Cake with a maple buttercream icing.
If the design was copyrighted, he would have said so. Lefties are incapable of playing their cards close to the vest. No case except in the court of public opinion. That won’t stop some journo from speculating about a little-known parliamentary trick to grandfather in the copyright and impeach Cheeto Jesus.

We have more important things to worry about. Let them eat cake and destroy the evidence!
Cake sucks, let me know when the pie comes out.
Well… That takes the cake.
Maybe it is just the lighting, but it looks like obama’s cake is leaning to the left.
Pay the ticket, move along. MAGA
Since the 2013 cake was purchased by the US Government, any copyright went with it. Being government property, is it not in the public domain? Case dismissed.
I am not a lawyer. I did not sleep in a Holiday Inn Express.
I suspect the WH could claim that the original was done on a work-for-hire basis, which means he was on contract and his employer, the WH, retains copyright over the work they paid him to provide. If Goldman took no remuneration for his creation his design should be considered a donation to the nation, which puts it in the public domain.
Either way, he’s going to have a hard time filing a copyright infringement case, to where it’s more expense than worth it.
Buttwipe’s cake was frosted with spunk from the Village People. The Trump cake just uses frosting.
Who else except a sniveling leftist would give a flying fuck about Trump’s cake?
Who cares? Seriously a stupid non issue.
Happy Birthday, Geoff C!!!!
They’re different colors, but still, both cakes are fugly.
They ate the evidence. Case closed. lol!
They took yo cake and ate it, too, 0bama! HAHAHAHAHA.
All I remember is Duff and his rude staff in their dirty shop. Here’s an example https://youtu.be/gc4fO7tLMqk
OK THIS is the Really takes the cake. Jet Blue made a Cuban cake to celebrate their charter flights. You must see it to believe it, honoring Che Guevara.

WARNING if you tab down below the cake there is a scene of someone being executed by firing squad.

O they got him now. They got him but good. He’s phucked, I tell you, phucked but good. Grounds for impeachment. And if the cake maker was a flaming homosexual, make it a hate crime. Bye, bye Donald “sure we hardly knew ya lad.”
Zonga: Great link
Zonga, how long before somebody opens “Che’s Cake Factory”? They’d clean up in college towns.
I think some liberal ordered the copy cake.
Butt ugly cakes, both of them. Something
creative like Lady Liberty or such would
be better.
Shakespeare said it correctly, this is a “Tempest in a Teapot”
