She <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/bakery-denies-refusing-whoopi-goldberg-birthday-order-politics-8744611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">denied refusing the pre-order because of politics<\/a>, and instead said she rejected it due to equipment issues.<\/p>\n<p>At a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DCaKhhoyPwW\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press conference on Friday<\/a>, Holtermann was joined by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statenislandusa.com\/bp-office.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella<\/a>, who alleged Goldberg \u201cbesmirched and defamed\u201d Holtermann\u2019s Bakery, causing an \u201cunwarranted controversy.\u201d The Republican demanded she issue a public apology for \u201cmaking stuff up to suit [her] needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Goldberg, she was told the bakery couldn\u2019t honor her 50-unit order because of trouble with their boiler. But when aides were sent to pick up the cakes in person two weeks later, they had no problem, leading Goldberg to believe the bakery \u201cdid not like my politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fossella backed Holtermann\u2019s claim that the bake shop didn\u2019t take Goldberg\u2019s pre-order because they weren\u2019t sure when the kitchen would be up and running effectively. The bakery\u2019s signature cakes eventually did get made and were enjoyed by the co-hosts of \u201cThe View\u201d at the end of Wednesday\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/council.nyc.gov\/district-50\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Staten Island Councilman David Carr<\/a> also took to the mic at the press conference, saying they were gathered \u201cto send a message to the person who decided she was too important for a boiler breakdown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe had to have her pastries and if it wasn\u2019t coming to her, it must have been someone else\u2019s fault.
