A boy whose letter to President Trump made national headlines last month reportedly wanted a pro-Trump cake for his birthday party, but his mother was unable to find a baker willing to fulfill the order.
At the July 26 White House press briefing, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a letter from a boy named Dylan who said Mr. Trump was his favorite president. When she later released the letter publicly, the boy’s last name was blacked out. The only identifying clue was that everyone called him “Pickle.”
The media scrambled to verify the letter’s authenticity, and the next day, The Washington Post confirmed it was sent by 9-year-old Dylan Harbin of California.
The Post reported that, when Dylan asked for a “Donald Trump cake” for his birthday, his mother “made him one herself, because she couldn’t find a bakery willing and able to do it.”
Michael P. Farris is president, CEO and general counsel of the Alliance Defending Freedom, the Christian legal group defending Jack Phillips, a Colorado baker who was sued by a gay couple for declining to make their same-sex wedding cake.
Mr. Farris wondered why bakers are allowed to decline to make birthday cakes supporting Mr. Trump, but not wedding cakes supporting same-sex marriage.

But a birth certificate of a presidential candidate...
A MAGA cake like that takes some skill. There are some non-pro bakers who can pull off amazing work. Then there are the rest of us...
In college I worked part time in a grocery store's deli/bakery. One of the tasks was to decorate birthday cakes. Nothing fancy: just writing on them with icing.
I didn't do half bad. Didn't do half good either :-P
Holy cow, you deserve some slack.
Carry on ...
:)
While your “response” to the passing of Ted is somewhat ... morbid; I APPROVE wholeheartedly :-)
Good point. These people are sick mofos and there's no telling what they would put in the cake. Their rabid hate against Trump and us makes them capable of adulterating the cake with anything up to and including poison.
Hey! That’s a nice cake, too! Who made that one? The hay cake the kid’s mom made was excellent!
The kid is a regular Alex Keaton.
Freudian but True.
I might be out of line....but a nine year old knows so little about the real world. This is about the parents....not the kid...IMHO.
This cake doesn’t even say anything about Donald Trump!
I can’t think of why NO baker wanted to do it, unless they somehow feared that Donald Trump had a copyright on the slogan (which he doesn’t).
When I was six and seven I was already reading about World War II and the Nazis, atmospheric pressure of Jupiter, and the politics of Yuri Andropov.
There are kids today who are more astute observers of the world than many adults. Don't let the messy penmanship fool you. That'll get better in time.
There is a lot to be hopeful for about the generations coming up behind the millenials. They're seeing the mess America is in. And they're going to be determined to do something about it. They already are.
This is true... lettering on a vertical surface.
That might actually have been a technical challenge to a trade where lettering is done on a horizontal surface.
On the other hand why can’t they just turn the thing in a suitable orientation for the lettering part? I don’t need an Einsteinian imagination to figure out how to do it, even if the head of the cap had to be constructed in two pieces.
Yep... some kids are encyclopedia nuts, etc. And that shouldn’t be squelched.
