Did Bakery Really Refuse To Bake Whoopi Goldberg’s Birthday Dessert?
The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg has faced many challenges in her career. But recently, she faced a refusal from a bakery over her political stances. However, she persisted, and the dessert was retrieved and delivered in time to share for her birthday extravaganza. Did the bakery deny her because of politics?
Whoopi Goldberg Had Several Setbacks
For months, The View moderator, Whoopi Goldberg has been passionate about Americans getting out to exercise their voice through voting. She was confident that her presidential candidate of choice, Vice President Kamala Harris, would sweep the nation and create change. However, she was extremely disappointed that the results didn’t go in Harris’ favor. Although it was difficult to stomach, she and her view counterparts have been diligently reviewing what happened and pressing forward to voice their political views. Since the election, they have been searching for the reasons people would re-elect former President Donald Trump. But Whoopi has gotten backlash lately for some of her comments. Furthermore, Whoopi was saddened to discover a bakery with her favorite birthday dessert would refuse her order because of her political stances.
A Bakery Tried To Spoil Whoopi Goldberg’s Birthday Surprise
On Wednesday, November 13, Whoopi Goldberg celebrated her 69th birthday on The View. Part of her royal treatment was to shower the audience with gifts. In honor of the celebration, she also wanted to let the audience enjoy a favorite dessert, Charlotte Russe. It was extra special to her because it was one of her mom’s favorites as well. Undoubtedly, she wanted to bring joy by sharing the unique delectable with others while incorporating her late mother.
The luscious treat is a trifle-esque dessert with layers of sponge cake, Bavarian cream, and fruit. While Whoopi had trouble acquiring the heavenly dessert, she managed to pull it off and share it with the attendees. However, she notes, “Now, I should tell you, Charlotte Russe has no political leanings, and the place that made these refused to make them for me.” Not only was the audience shocked, but her co-hosts couldn’t believe it either. Sunny Hostin, surprised by the actions, retorts, “Oh, really?” Then, Sara Haines spit hers out in support of her co-host causing the audience to laugh.
She Wasn’t Letting The Setback Stop Her From Celebrating
Undeniably, the interaction left a bad taste in Whoopi Goldberg’s mouth. But she was persistent. She said, “They said that their ovens had gone down, all kinds of stuff, but folks went and got them anyway.” Since she had the tangle with the bakery, she decided to withhold their name so they wouldn’t get the free advertising. She adds, “Which is why I’m not telling you who made them.” She continued, “It can’t be because I’m a woman, but perhaps they did not like my politics.” But Whoopi wasn’t letting that stop her. She said, “But that’s okay because you know what? Listen, this is my mother’s celebration. Pick these up and celebrate with me and my mom. Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday today.”
Did Bakery Really Refuse To Bake Whoopi Goldberg’s Birthday Dessert?
After Whoopi Goldberg’s claim that the unnamed bakery was personally attacking her, sleuths pinpointed the origins of the tasty treats. According to Entertainment Weekly, Holtermann’s Bakery was the culprit. However, bakery owner, Jill Holtermann, asserts the refusal “was not because of political” affiliations. Instead, she admits “We were having trouble with our boilers.” Furthermore, she says the request was initially for November 6 and the birthday celebration, on November 13. In an effort not to disappoint with the finicky machinery, she said, “I didn’t want to make a commitment that I can’t carry through.” Reportedly, she expressed, “I said to Whoopi, ‘I can’t do it right now.'”
Attempting not to disappoint, she explains, “We have so many things going on with my boiler,’ because the building is from 1930, so, when she called me, I had no idea [if we could] be baking everything.” Likewise, she confirmed a woman came to pick up 50 Charlotte Russe on November 13. She says she was pleasantly able to supply the desserts even with the boiler issues. The owner also stated she didn’t know who the woman was. Furthermore, she didn’t know she had any affiliation with Whoopi Goldberg or The View.
