I’d just make them the crappiest cake ever.
Let some kindergartners make it.
That's an interesting take! I like your thinking there. But mainly, I think sometimes the bakeries and the florists and so on over analyze their part in a wedding. They're just providing commodities. They're not singing in the ceremony, not performing the ceremony - they have nothing to do with the ceremony other than being a provider of a trapping of it. They are not making any statement of supporting the activity any more than the maker of the pressure cooker used in the Boston bombing was advocating what the terrorist brothers were up to. I think they take themselves too seriously.
And they're being played for suckers. If they had agreed to bake it, I bet the couple would've gone and continued to find a bakery that would deny them.

There are several ways to dissuade gay wedding cake customers.
1. Tell them that you will be donating their fee to an anti gay wedding organization.
2. Imply that the cake MAY contain “extra ingredients” such as when you send back food at a restaurant.
