There has been much reporting and discussion in the media about various Christian bakers who have refused to make wedding cakes for same-sex marriages. In my estimation, these otherwise honorable people have missed a great opportunity for evangelization. For, Christ Himself was the Sower; and, He cast the seeds far and wide. We should do the same; and, let the workings of the Holy Spirit take charge of their destiny. For example, when I outreach in the Castro District of San Francisco, I hand out bracelets of St. Benedict or with the Cross, to anyone who reaches out when I put my hand forward; even, oftentimes, I look for the most outlandishly dressed, or not dressed at all, and single them out for a Holy gift. Then, it’s all up to them and the Lord. When we deny someone that opportunity, we are denying them the Saving Power of Jesus Christ. Therefore, my recipe for a “gay” cake is partially taken from the tradition of Icon writing; as, the pious monks who create icons - pray and fast while crafting these works of art; they are truly blessed images of the other world - that do have power. Therefore, when making a cake for a gay couple, pray for them; perhaps, even fast so that they may realize the error of their ways and open their hearts to the Forgiveness of God. In addition, include a little holy water, or blessed salt in the batter; after the cake has been baked and decorated; ask a Catholic priest to bless it. Because, what you do: could be saving the life of a lost soul.
