The same day the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Denver-based baker Jack Phillips for dismissing a gay couple’s cake order based on religious grounds, a new customer reached out.
But this customer claimed to be a devil worshipper and wanted the devout Christian to create a cake to celebrate Satan’s birthday, according to court documents reviewed by Newsweek.
The “member of the Church of Satan” made several unorthodox requests:
“I’m thinking a three-tiered white cake. Cheesecake frosting,” the customer wrote in the June 4 email, according to Phillips’ lawsuit filed in Denver’s federal court on Tuesday.
“And the topper should be a large figure of Satan, licking a 9” black Dildo.
I would like the dildo to be an actual working model, that can be turned on before we unveil the cake.”
The email continued: “I can provide it for you if you don’t have the means to procure it yourself,” according to the civil complaint.
Philips “politely declined.”
“This cake and the others were tied to a message of a celebration that I couldn’t support,” Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, based in Lakewood, Colorado, told Newsweek in an interview.
Newsweek reached out to a few prominent Denver-based bakeries, and while all said they would be ok with the transgender blue-icing cake with pink batter, all but one said baking Satan licking a dildo was going too far.
