Angry protesters swarm outside bakery to demonstrate against innocuous MAGA cake — but counterprotesters quickly arrive and outnumber them

A "Make America Great Again"-themed cake shared on a bakery's Facebook page sparked an angry protest outside a New York bakery over the weekend, according to a report from the Times Union.

The outlet reports, however, that a large group of counterprotesters arrived on the scene and outnumbered those marching against the cake.

Rachel Dott, who owns Coccadotts Cake Shop in Albany, New York, kicked a virtual hornets' nest after sharing a cake she made on social media in July.

The offending cake?

A cake shaped like a red hat, emblazoned with President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign slogan: "Make America Great Again."

According to social media posts, the cake kicked off a furious conversation with allegations of racism against the store owners, which eventually turned into a mobilization of activists.

The original post, which has apparently since been removed, specified that the bakery made the cake as a custom order.
