Bakery’s response: Holtermann’s Bakery denied the claim, citing boiler issues instead.

Historic bakery involved: Holtermann’s is a 145-year-old Staten Island family business.

Bakery explanation: Owner said mechanical problems delayed the order, not politics.

Order fulfilled anyway: Bakery made 50 desserts, picked up for the show.

Goldberg’s reaction: Focused on celebrating her mom, avoided naming the bakery.
