The latest claims of plagiarism surrounding yesterday’s inaugural festivities have less to do with Batman and more to do with baking.

To celebrity pastry chef Duff Goldman, the towering nine-tier creation that President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence cut into with a sword last night looked a little too familiar. Goldman points out that the towering cake looked, in fact, almost exactly like the one he made for Barack Obama’s inauguration in January of 2013.

The Food Network personality took to Twitter to post a side-by-side comparison of the two cakes. “The cake on the left is the one I made for President Obama’s inauguration 4 years ago,” he captioned the image. “The one on the right is Trumps. I didn’t make it.” A suspicious thinking-face emoji completed his message.

Similarities between the two cakes are readily apparent to laymen’s eyes. Both feature a brightly patriotic mix of red, white, and blue that is almost reminiscent of Kellyanne Conway’s extremely meme-able inauguration outfit. Both are topped with shining silver stars attached to wires, have a red striped base, and feature an almost identically placed presidential seal.

Twitter users, however, are mixed in their response to the lookalike cakes. Many are liking and retweeting the post, but others are crying foul on the pastry chef’s accusations, citing White House event planners as the real culprit.

@BradmanTV @Duff_Goldman It’s an exact ripoff – down to the last star. 100% Plagiarism.

@Duff_Goldman you mean the cake that you made for an inauguration that someone probably gave you input on? Maybe the same WH Event Planner?

Either way, this is hardly the first time the new president has faced allegations of plagiarism. First Lady Melania Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention last fall was rather infamously called out for mirroring remarks given by Michelle Obama at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Then just yesterday, there were those aforementioned The Dark Night Rises comparisons. Because imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery?
