Thus was not simply a cake, but a cake with a custom message. So if a black signmaker refused to make a sign celebrating a KKK celebration, or a Muslim baker refused to letter a cake celebrating the state of Israel, then these judges would rule the same.

The above is somewhat a rhetorical question.

So the old “No shirt, no shoes, no service” message is discriminatory in some way? Heck ... shows how old I am.
Seriously. ... it is a business and they can conduct their business anyway they please.
Except there apparently.

That's the best way to deal with this situation.
Orchestrate a scenario exactly as you describe it. Find an old retiree or someone on public assistance who doesn't have anything to lose to serve as the "Nazi customer" or "KKK customer" and have the bakery fight the battle on those grounds.
Nothing is more effective than using the left's tactics on your own side.

In addition: “We had served Mr. Lee before and would be happy to serve him again. The judges accepted that we did not know Mr. Lee was gay and that he was not the reason we declined the order. We have always said it was never about the customer, it was about the message. The court accepted that. But now we are being told we have to promote the message even though it’s against our conscience.” - http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/10/24/christian-bakery-loses-appeal-gay-cake-discrimination-conviction/

Or just bake cakes with passages from the Koran on them.

Delivering the appeal judgment, Northern Ireland's Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan said: "The fact that a baker provides a cake for a particular team or portrays witches on a Halloween cake does not indicate any support for either." Through the legal proceedings, Daniel McArthur, the company's general manager, insisted Mr Lee's sexuality was never an issue, rather the message he wanted the bakery to create.
Ashers, a name with Biblical connotations, has six branches, employs more than 80 people and delivers across the UK and Ireland.
Throughout the legal battle they have been supported by The Christian Institute, which has organised public rallies and garnered financial backing for the case.
Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell criticised the Appeal Court ruling and said it set a "dangerous, authoritarian precedent", claiming gay bakers could now theoretically be compelled to bake cakes carrying "homophobic" slogans. [homophobic in quotes are added].

But those mussie truck drivers who refused to deliver beer because of, you know, allah and his crowd were awarded hundred of thousands of dollars because they were fired for their religion.

What they may not do is provide a service that only reflects their own political or religious message in relation to sexual orientation, the judgment said.Why is that? When did we lose the right to run our own business our own way?

The baker should decline to place any written message of any kind on any baked goods, in the interest of avoiding offending anyone. Just sell plain cakes, unadorned with any lettering of any kind. Let the customer put his own message on his cake if he desires. That way, the baker is spared having to put an offensive message on a cake, and the customer has no complaint because the policy of the business will apply to all.

Bake the cake, accidentally add too much salt or not enough sugar. Do sloppy work but act pleased with the result.
Lots of ways to skin a cat.
