Reality TV Chef Offers To Bake Wedding Cake For Free After Lesbian Couple Were Refused From Bakery

A chef has offered to bake and transport a wedding cake for a couple for free, after he heard their custom was refused from another bakery because of their sexuality.

Pastry chef and reality television chef Duff Goldman has sent out an open offer to the lesbian couple, whose names have not been released, saying he’ll bake and transport the cake completely free of charge for them, after they were denied a wedding cake by an Oregon bakery.

The executive chef of the Baltimore-based Charm City Cakes told HuffPost Live, "I saw this story and I was like, “Wait, I can do something, there’s injustice involving a cake!”

"For a cake decorator to really feel like he really needed to take a stand…it just makes absolutely no sense. It’s petty, it’s small…this man has wrapped up his hatred in the cloak of religion.”

Goldman first reached out with the offer on HuffPost Food’s Twitter.

KATU news network reported earlier in the week that Oregon Sweet Cakes bakery owner Aaron Klein admitted he denied one of the women service after she visited his shop in January.

"I believe that marriage is a religious institution ordained by God," Klein, who owns the bakery with his wife Melissa, is quoted as saying.

He also said he is not “anti-gay”: “I'll sell [gay people] stuff...I'll talk to them, it's fine. I'd rather have my kids see their dad stand up for what he believes in then to see him bow down because one person complained."
