“Ace Of Cakes” Duff Goldman Steps Up For Lesbian Couple Stiffed By Bigoted Baker
Not long after news surfaced that an Oregon baker was refusing to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple, Ace of Cakes star Duff Goldman stepped up and offered to make the women the cake of their dreams.
In January, master baker Aaron Klein told the couple that his company, Sweet Cakes, was declining their business—and called them “abominations unto the Lord.” His actions violate Oregon’s anti-discrimination laws, but rather than wait for this to drag out in court, Goldman went on HuffPo Live and told host Mike Sachs he’d make their wedding cake for free—and even bring it all the way from his bakery in Los Angeles to the women out in Portland.
“This guy’s an idiot,” Goldman tells Sachs about Klein. “For a cake decorator to feel like he really needed to take a stand…it makes no sense, It’s petty, it’s small.”
That's really sweet of him. But hopefully their cake will not look like he made it. :X

They try really hard to make the cake look like something else using white cake and rice krispie treats but does it even taste good after it's been covered with fondant??

And that's awesome of him! Ugh at that baker.
j/k, Yeah, that bigoted baker sucks. I hope ppl boycott him.
The reason AoC did so well is that the people in the bakery were all fun and friendly and awesome. (I miss Geoff and Mary Alice. ;-; )
And the cakes were amazing.
"...No. No, I am not going to do that."
also that small blue cake with the gold looks amazing.
a local gerocery sells cakes by buddy that cake dude but they didn't ahve any in stock last time I went there
if its not completely fresh than it takes terrible
y
I just couldn't last more than a few minutes of the Cake Boss asshole and his team screaming at each other. It was awful.
I love Ace of Cakes. They are so chill and very artistic.
Refusing business like this is dumb as hell. My grandfather owns catering facilities and doesn't agree with gay marriage but he would never turn down a gay couple who wanted to get married in a facility.
