Actually, a close analogy is forcing a kosher deli to sell ham sandwiches with a milkshake

It's a good analogy only if the Jewish deli sold ham sandwiches to other people but refused to sell to it to the plaintiff. If an establishment does not sell a item to anyone then it can't be discrimination if they refuse to sell it to you.

That would only be analogous if Phillips refused to simply sell them a cake (which he says he did not do), versus a special work of art. To refuse to so the former would be clear discrimination, while to refuse to do the latter falls under artistic freedom.
