A cherished New York bakery has found itself in the spotlight after refuting claims made by Whoopi Goldberg that her cupcake order for her birthday episode of \u201cThe View\u201d was denied due to her political views. Goldberg, who turned 69 earlier this month, suggested on a recent episode of the daytime talk show that the bakery\u2019s refusal to fulfill her order was politically motivated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe place that made these refused to make them for me,\u201d Goldberg said on Wednesday\u2019s show while eating cupcakes. \u201cThey said that their ovens had gone down, all kinds of stuff,\u201d Goldberg alleged, \u201cbut folks went and got them anyway, which is why I\u2019m not telling you who made them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s OK because, you know what? Listen, this is my mother\u2019s celebration. Pick these up and celebrate with me and my mom. Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday today,\u201d Goldberg claimed.<\/p>\n
The establishment in question, a 145-year-old institution known for its artisanal confections, was quick to reject the allegation. Jill Holtermann, the bakery\u2019s owner, offered a pointed response in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying that the issue stemmed not from political differences but rather from technical difficulties.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019d asked us and we were having trouble with our boilers,\u201d Holtermann explained. She said that Goldberg had originally asked for treats for her appearances on a talk show on November 6 and on the November 13 episode of \u2018The View.\u2019 Holtermann declined both requests, citing, \u201cI didn\u2019t want to make a commitment that I can\u2019t carry through,\u201d due to the unreliability of her equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
