The cake shop owner should say that infringes on The Children’s Television Workshop’s trademarked characters...

Bakers should just keep their mouths shut and make a damn cake that doesn’t taste or look very good and wash their hands of these douchbags. Don’t make the cake obviously terrible, but make it just bad enough that it’s on a par with, say, Duncan Hines. In fact, use a bunch of Duncan Hines cake mixes and cans of pre-made crappola icing off the shelves of Walmart. When they demand their money back, give it back to them without complaint; afterall, you used the cheapest crappola ingredients possible. Just make sure you have a standard contract that everyone signs that limits damages to the actual amount paid and no more.
