Baltimore pastry chef Duff Goldman, star of Food Network’s “Ace of Cakes,” has offered to bake and deliver — free of charge — a wedding cake to the lesbian couple in Oregon who was denied service by a local bakery because they are gay.
Appearing on HuffPost Live, Goldman, the executive chef of Baltimore’s Charm City Cakes, said, “I saw this story and I was like, “Wait — I can do something, there’s injustice involving a cake!”
Watch:
The Oregon Department of Justice is investigating a complaint that Sweet Cakes by Melissa in Gresham, Ore., refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding, a possible violation of an Oregon law that prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation.
Last week, Aaron Klein, owner of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, said he sells cakes to customers of all sexual orientations, but draws the line, however, at wedding cakes for same-sex couples.

I am a Believer in Jesus. Jesus said absolutely nothing about gay people; BUT… he literally said that remarriage after a divorce was adultery. Many anti-gay “Christians” have no problem with adulterous straight folks. I imagine that baker has made many cakes for heterosexual couples where one or both of them have been married before.
You are a good man.
that is so freaking sweet of him and queer of the people who refused im bi and i would be outraged if i married a women and i had no cake hats of to u duff!!!!!!!
Duff is an excellent cake artist and an all around great guy.
this man is my hero. <3
And his cakes are amazing!
Man if I didn’t already love Duff this would really TAKE THE CAKE!!!! :D
Faith in humanity now restored.
Awesome way to go Duff!!
Yeah Duff, always thought he was cool.
