Whoopi's Cake Chase: A Political Puzzle

This year, actress and TV personality Whoopi Goldberg turned 69. She had a special request for her birthday: she wanted to treat everyone on "The View" to her favorite childhood dessert, Charlotte Russe cakes. But here's where things got interesting. A bakery in Staten Island, named Holtermann’s, said they couldn't make the cakes. Why? Well, they claimed their ovens were out of order. But Whoopi suspected it was something else—maybe their views on politics. Whoopi isn't one to shy away from expressing her opinions, and she wondered if the bakery was trying to make a statement. However, the bakery insisted they just had some oven trouble. Regardless of the reasons, Whoopi's dream came true. She found another bakery that was happy to make the cakes, and everyone on "The View" got to enjoy a slice of her childhood. This little cake drama raises a bigger question: should businesses mix politics with their services? It's a tricky topic, and Whoopi's cake chase has certainly sparked some conversation.
