An appeals court has ruled that Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips cannot refuse to handcraft a cake “celebrating” an individual’s gender “transition from male to female,” even though the action violates his Christian beliefs.
In 2017, a Denver lawyer named Autumn Scardina phoned in an order to Masterpiece Cakeshop requesting a custom-made cake to celebrate Scardina’s own “transition” to a woman — a pink cake with blue frosting, for those of you keeping score at home.

The case has gained attention for its similarities to a 2018 case, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, in which the court ruled that a Colorado baker had the right to refuse to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.
This case was just an extension of Masterpiece Cakeshop, though with the added intent of enshrining the ability to discriminate services online.
