The bakery confirms that they were asked to recreate the Obama cake and adds that they donated the proceeds 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!"

Question, why didn't duff Goldman make another cake, why go somewhere else? -- nm - Z2G2 Jan 21, 11:10 3
- Also, determining it was his cake, and how to get hold of him once they knew, might have entailed more effort than they wanted to make. -- nm - mara Jan 21, 11:33
- Maybe they couldn't afford what he would have asked. Or he no longer does commissions. -- nm - mara Jan 21, 11:32
- I assume he wasn't asked to make it. Or if he was, he declined. -- nm - Mop Jan 21, 11:14
