Not to be outdone, Hillary Clinton got her own cake, too. Baker Melissa Alt told People: “A client had ordered a Hillary Clinton cake for their private party, and we decided to make a Donald Trump to go along with it — the epic duo.” May the best cake win.

Of all the ugly things about this election, this cake, um, takes the cake. The pastry of the hour, spotted as it was wheeled with care into Trump Tower, has been molded, presumably with fondant, to look like Donald Trump.
It's hard to believe that the baker behind this sugary work of art is a Trump fan. One look at those panic-stricken blue eyes and you'll probably agree. This is not the dessert of a candidate who believes he is about to win the election.
I guess we now know one more contractor who’s going to have a hard time collecting payment from Trump. pic.twitter.com/92gnW4tfAb

Twitter, of course, is having a field day.

Dorian Gray had a portrait that reflected his life. Donald Trump has a cake that is somehow better looking than the human version of him. pic.twitter.com/TJ0YY72PkJ

That cake was probably sculpted by a beautiful 10 of a baker while Trump sang “Hello.”

And for those of you rushing to Twitter to stake your claim to this hilarious dessert tragedy, you are already too late: The cake has its own genius account.
In my first 100 days I will deport all churros, flan, and tres leches cakes. Bad Hombres.

I will build a delicious, edible wall. Load bearing crispy treat base, covered in glorious fondant. #trumpvictorycake

Beyond its unbearably sweet fondant exterior, it's unclear what lies within the Trump Cake. Is it some sort of deconstructed taco bowl? Is the frosting KFC chicken flavored? All remains a mystery.
Thank you, dear baker, wherever you are, for this much-needed source of humor at the end of a very long, painful campaign season. Let them eat cake — Trump Cake.
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
