Suppose the customer came in and gave specific instructions on exactly how they wanted the cake to look. Doesn't that take the artistic expression away from the baker and gives it to the customer?
That's why I think this case should have been fought on freedom of religion grounds and not freedom of expression.
I don’t think so because there is skill and artistry involved in mixing the colors and making the whole design work spatially and otherwise. I have tried to make those little flowers from icing and it is hard to get one to look like a flower, much like an artist knows just how to draw so that something appears dimensional and real using shading, etc. Besides, look at what they have deemed as “art”, ie. a cross placed in a jar of urine, so the standard for what is “art” seems extremely wide. There are many ways to look at this I guess.
