KINGSTON, N.Y. — Deising’s Bakery is offering a “John Oliver Bear Cake” after the comedian challenged the bakery on his Sunday show to sell the cakes to get the bakery kitchen equipment.

The Sunday challenge from the “Last Week Tonight” host came after the bakery’s owner, Eric Deising, complained to News 12 TV channel in Westchester last week that Oliver’s show purchased equipment from the shuttered town of Ulster Red Lobster location for a segment that aired on his show “Last Week Tonight” on June 2.

Deising’s said the cakes featuring the comedian’s face, which sell for $8, have been selling at a fast pace on Monday. A Facebook post on Monday morning noted the bakery had sold 80 within an hour of them becoming available. A person behind the counter on Monday afternoon said the bakery was sold out for the day and urged people to order for Tuesday.

Peter Deising — who represents the third generation of the family to operate the bakery, which first opened in 1965 — said all proceeds from the John Oliver Bear Cakes will go to the People’s Place’s food pantry nearby.

Oliver shared clips from a News 12 segment in which Eric Deising mentioned that he needed a 36-inch flat-top grill and convection grill and he’d left a note stating his interest in buying the equipment on the doors of the shuttered Red Lobster on Miron Lane. Oliver ultimately ended up purchasing the contents of the restaurant in an auction.

In the segment that aired Sunday, Oliver joked that leaving a note on the door seemed like a strange way to express interest in purchasing equipment from a shuttered restaurant. “The restaurant just closed down. It’s like going to a cemetery and leaving a note on the tombstone that says, ‘Hey, can I have your socks?’” Oliver quipped.

“I do love the way he’s watching our show the way everyone else does on a phone in the middle of a workday without even a hint of enjoyment on his face,” Oliver said.

Oliver said when his show took a look at online reviews of the bakery it found it had many good reviews and he showed off specialty baked goods like cakes and cupcakes for St. Patrick’s Day and Groundhog Day along with its entrees like burgers and onion rings and pancakes.

“I don’t like cake bears, I f—ing love cake bears,” Oliver said. “I want one right now and I’m going to eat it’s a– first. What else are you going to do? Start with the head like a monster? Have some conscience.”

He asked viewers to check out the “donk” on the cake bear. “The cake’s got cakes,” Oliver said. “It’s dragging a wagon and I want to hop on board.”

Oliver said while his show already donated the Reb Lobster equipment, which did not include the grill or convection oven, he was willing to buy Deising’s a 36-inch flat-top grill and convection oven on the condition that the bakery was willing to make a cake bear with his face and sell them. “I want to be a cake bear,” he said.

He said he fully trusted Deising to come up with the design. “You don’t even have to give me as much a– as a regular bear,” he said. “It would be nice since we’re literally buying kitchen equipment for you.”

Oliver then showed the equipment and noted it’s waiting to be delivered.

He promised Deising’s will find a note on the door.

Peter Deising said he learned about the segment at 3 a.m. when his phone kept dinging non-stop with notifications from social media and emails. And when he came into work on Monday morning he found the note Oliver promised taped to the door.

“I was so pleasantly surprised to come in this morning with this lovely note on the door and I was like, “What was that?,’” he said. “I checked and watched John Oliver’s show while I was working and we’re just grateful to be part of the show.”

Deising gladly accepted the challenge.

“He donated kitchen equipment and here’s his cupcakes,” Deising stated in a Freeman video while showing the bear cake.

A post on Deising’s Facebook page highlights a larger bear cake with an extra large posterior noting, “They have Donk.”

“I got here and told the bakers to start baking egg cupcakes, which are what we make animals out of,” he said. “Now they’re selling like hotcakes.”

Oliver noted he also annoyed an unnamed Ulster town official who told a reporter that if “he bought everything from the Kingston location he has nothing.”

Oliver apologized for the mistake.

“I sincerely apologize,” Oliver said. “Although in my defense I’m not the only one who thought Red Lobster was in Kingston. Google Maps, Yelp Facebook, Red Lobster’s own website and Ulster County’s Tourism site say it’s in Kingston.”

Oliver announced the equipment purchase during a final segment of “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” on Sunday, June 2, on Max, formerly HBO.

“We f—ing won everything inside it,” Oliver told his audience about the auction’s result, showing a photo of the former town of Ulster seafood eatery, although he identified it as a Kingston one.

That purchase included the lobster tank.

“The frustrating thing is, it seems just about any random idiot could run a Red Lobster better than these companies have done,” Oliver pronounced. “But there’s really only one way to put that to the test.”

Red Lobster announced on its website in May that it had closed the Miron Lane restaurant.

And while the site said that the closure was “temporary,” a site had already started auctioning the equipment. The auction ran until May 16. The auction site said, “These auctions are WINNER TAKES ALL – meaning, each winner will receive the ENTIRE contents of the Red Lobster location they bid on.”

The town of Ulster auction was one of nearly 50 from Red Lobster restaurants across the county, according to the auction site. Red Lobster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection late Sunday, May 19.
