A young girl is furious after she was told by a baker she could not have 'Trump 2016' written on her American flag birthday cake.

McKenzie Gill, from Plain Dealing in Louisiana, visited a local shopping center on Monday afternoon with the hope of having the cake made for her upcoming 18th 'Donald Trump themed' birthday party.

After being told the worker in the bakery department at Albertsons in Bossier City could not make it as requested, the teen vented on social media.

'Just left albertsons. The woman behind the cake counter just refused to make me a birthday cake because I wanted "Trump 2016" on it... Did that really just happen?' the 17-year-old wrote on Facebook.

The 17-year-old explained to KSLA she was holding the Trump themed bash because the nominee is someone she 'really looks up to', before offering some advice for the worker who rejected her request.

'It's your job, we're not really going for your opinion on what you think of the candidates we were just wanting Trump 2016 on the cake,' she told the station.

A spokeswoman for the supermarket chain released a statement saying the cake was not made due to a copyright misunderstanding.

'We apologize to our customer in Bossier City for the situation regarding the cake that was requested,' the statement read.

'Our Bakery staff member misunderstood the training provided regarding copyrighted phrases, and incorrectly informed the customer we could not fulfill her request.

'We would be happy to provide the cake as the customer requested.'

The 17-year-old's angry Facebook status was shared and commented on more than 300 times, with many friends taking her side on the issue.

'I would make a complaint but would not allow them to make my cake after that,' Jacque Maples wrote.

'What'd she say her reasoning was? I would've raised hell,' Cody Jones said.

'I wouldn't let you clean up after me, much less COOK for me. I am a registered Republican,' Amy Giglio wrote.

Trump supporters then flooded the store's Facebook page and left negative reviews and comments.

However, other people - including some who support the Republican candidate - leaped to the defense of the store.

'As I sit here, a Republican... I can tell you, I shop that store almost daily and I am not convinced as to the validity of this accusation... The management at this location, are beyond helpful and will go the extra mile to ensure you have a pleasant visit each time you come in,' Daisy Wimberly wrote.

'That's a political trade mark. That's why she refused to make your cake,' Sandra Stewart said.

'She's being careful because Trump can sue her for using the trademark,' Colly Cole added.

This incident is not the first time cakes have courted controversy, with numerous incidents where people refused to make them for varied reasons creating headlines.

In 2012, Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, refused to make a wedding cake for Charlie Craig and David Mullins. The couple has been married in Massachusetts but planned to have their celebration in Colorado.

The state Court of Appeals ruled Phillips could not refuse the couple of the grounds of his religious beliefs. The baker had said at the time he had no issues with making cakes for gay people, he only refused to make cakes for same-sex weddings.

In 2013, Melissa and Aaron Klein, owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa bakery, refused to make a cake for Rachel and Laurel Bowman-Cryer saying doing so would violate their religious freedom.

However, like many other cases where the person refusing to do something used the same argument, it was rejected in court.
