“great kills, Staten island (pix11) — Whoopi Goldberg claimed that a historic bakery on Staten island wouldn’t fill a dessert request that she’d made because the business didn’t like her politics.

“the owner of the bakery, Holtermann’s, said that a major maintenance issue at the business had prevented it from filling any large orders, like Goldberg’s, at that time. now, people from across Staten island and way beyond have stepped up to show support for Holtermann’s, and, they said, to send a message of disapproval to Goldberg.

“the comedienne, actress, and host of the talk show “The View” sparked controversy on the show on wednesday when she showcased a large tray of what Goldberg called her mother’s favorite dessert. it’s called Charlotte russe. it’s a small, individual piece of cake with raspberry curd, wrapped in decorative paper, and topped with whipped cream with a maraschino cherry on top.

“'the place that made these refused to make them for me,'” Goldberg said during a segment on “The View” on Wednesday. “[My] folks went and got them anyway,” Goldberg continued, “which is why I’m not telling you who made them,” she said. “Perhaps they did not like my politics.”

“she said during the segment that a large order for the treats had been placed in her name but was turned down. Even though Goldberg didn’t name the bakery, its unique packaging identified the source as Holtermann’s, and word about Goldberg’s displeasure quickly spread. by friday, there was a long line outside of the bakery on Arthur Kill road well before it opened at 7:30 a.m. long lines remained throughout the day until closing time at 6 p.m.

“the business almost completely sold out of its stock. its staff baked non-stop, all day.

“Holtermann’s has been baking on Staten island for 146 years. its many devoted customers call it an institution.

“'I’ll be 82 in January,' said Penny Clark, who’d come to buy coffee cake. 'as a little girl,' she continued, 'my birthday cakes came from here, holiday cakes came from here. I’ve never stepped away.'”

“Thomas and Elizabeth Barnes are also regular customers, but they’d never tried the Charlotte Russe 'until now,' Elizabeth said.

“'the bakery didn’t do anything wrong,' her husband Thomas added, “and we’re here to support them. if it helps them get some extra business, then good for them.'”

GRA: Is “Whoopie” in deep “doo-doo”? Another reason to call her "Poopie.” One, for her self described diaper problems and now a political sh*tstorm. I predict an apology monday.
