Cake copyright have ridiculed for low quality have sometimes sought to claim copyright over their cakes. The copyright claim is part of an attempt to enforce demands that communities of people who mock cakes not publish photos of cakes for entertainment. In 2012 in the United States President Obama had celebrity pastry chef Duff Goldman design a certain cake for a party celebrating his inauguration. In 2017 United States President Trump had a Washington, D.C. bakery replicate Obama's cake made for his inauguration. There was discussion about whether Trump plagiarized Obama's cake. The matter raised the profile of copyright questions about cakes.
