The problem is it is vague imo. Baking a cake could be speech to this court

Baking the cake is definitely not speech ( although I appreciate your point about this Court interpreting it that way.

However, decorating the cake could reasonably be construed as speech, especially if they're is text, logos, etc in the decoration.

Gotcha, yeah I agree. I personally don't think a website designer building something for a client is either. But we live in a dystopia right now. Hope you are doing well this evening.
