Goldilocks Addresses Viral Cake Dedication Complaint
GOLDILOCKS – The bakeshop has issued an official statement following a complaint from a customer who identified as a supporter of former President Rodrigo Duterte. The issue arose when the requested cake dedication, “Happy 80th Birthday TATAY DIGONG,” was not written on the cake purchased for Duterte’s birthday celebration on Friday, March 28.
The customer expressed frustration in a viral social media post, stating that they regularly purchase cakes from Goldilocks and have never encountered an issue before. The post quickly gained attention, particularly among fellow supporters of the former president, leading to backlash against the bakeshop.
In response, Goldilocks addressed the controversy through an official statement on its Facebook page on Sunday, March 30. The company acknowledged the situation and reassured customers of its commitment to providing personalized messages on cakes, as long as there is designated space for greetings.
The statement read: “We are aware of an isolated incident involving a cake greeting that has raised concerns online. At Goldilocks, we truly believe in messages that celebrate, uplift, and bring people together – reflecting the joy and togetherness we’ve always valued. We are always happy to accommodate personalized messages on cakes that have space specially designed for greetings.”
Goldilocks further emphasized its dedication to customer satisfaction, stating, “We understand how much these moments mean, and we’re taking steps to ensure every customer feels seen, included, and celebrated in every store, every time.”
The incident continues to be widely discussed on social media, with many netizens hoping that Goldilocks will implement measures to prevent similar issues in the future.
Meanwhile, Duterte is currently being held at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, Netherlands. He was arrested in Manila on March 11, 2025, on charges of crimes against humanity. He marked his 80th birthday on March 28, 2025, while in ICC custody.
