President Biden marked his 81st birthday with a tongue-in-cheek reference to his age in a fiery Instagram post Monday. “Turns out on your 146th birthday, you run out of space for candles!” Biden joked in the post, showing off his cake decorated with dozens of lit candles huddled together along the perimeter. The crowded flames formed a blazing ring atop the celebratory dessert, drawing awe in the post’s comments section. “Does the secret service have a fire division?” one comment joked. “Y’all could have at least made the cake bigger so all of those candles had a little room to...

For more than 10 years, a Colorado law has been misused to punish me for something I didn’t do. For more than 30 years, my family and I have quietly operated Masterpiece Cakeshop, baking treats and specializing in custom-designed cakes to celebrate special occasions. I welcome everyone into my shop, treat them with respect, and if they ask for a particular kind of custom cake, do my best to create something beautiful and memorable. Like most of us, I too have sincere beliefs that guide and inspire my life, so I can only create custom cakes that will express or...

In 2019, on a trip to the Bahamas with my mom and sister, my flight turned into an uncomfortable ordeal. My seat belt wasn’t long enough to fasten, and a fellow passenger's visceral reaction added to my discomfort. I repeatedly asked the flight attendant for a seat belt extender and was ignored until takeoff, leaving me feeling disregarded and disrespected.And this wasn’t the first time I’ve dealt with this particular kind of travel stress. I went to Paris in 2014, and found the city cramped and unwelcoming. Narrow staircases, tiny chairs, and compact showers were just the beginning. Throughout my...

When putting through a custom order on anything, we’re often told it’s always best to give as much detail as you can to avoid any confusion. Even better if you give a picture or sketch reference. But for one Costco customer, this strategy turned their custom cake order rather pear-shaped. And we’re sorry, but we’re laughing along with the internet on this one! A Reddit user posted via r/mildlyInfuriating has shared how the supermarket giant got their order completely wrong despite them being very clear about what they wanted. Perhaps a little TOO clear.

Russia’s despotic President Vladimir Putin has raised fresh health fears after he wheezed and coughed through a dramatic meeting. Rumours have been swirling for months that Putin is seriously ill, and he did nothing to ease concerns during a testy meeting with mums of soldiers who have been killed in his war with Ukraine. The dictator tucked into fresh berries and cake with the 'grieving relatives' but seemed to be struggling and uncomfortable. Words didn’t come easily, clearing his throat often, as he spoke with people who – were it not for him – would still have children, although the...

A California judge has ruled in favor of a bakery owner who refused to make wedding cakes for a same-sex couple because it violated her Christian beliefs.
-
The Oregon Court of Appeals for a second time Wednesday upheld a ruling by the state civil rights division that found that a Gresham bakery illegally discriminated against a same-sex couple by refusing to sell them a wedding cake in 2013.However, the court found that the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries did not exhibit religious neutrality in issuing an $135,000 fine to Sweet Cakes by Melissa for illegal discrimination and sent the case back to the civil rights division to reassess its fine. . . . But the court found Wednesday that the Supreme Court’s rulings didn’t change its...

The court said it would not take up the florist's appeal, leaving the state court rulings against her intact and again ducking the hot-button issue. The Supreme Court on Friday declined to wade into the contentious issue of whether businesses have a right to refuse service for same-sex wedding ceremonies despite state laws forbidding them from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. The court dodged the wedding question three years ago in a case involving a Colorado baker who said baking a cake to celebrate a same-sex marriage would violate his right of free expression and religious beliefs. The...
