By Roxanne Roberts, The Washington Post WASHINGTON – Let them eat cake. Let everybody eat cake! In the pastry world, wedding cakes are the epitome of love and celebration, not a political statement. But this is 2017, and even a cake can be controversial: This fall, the Supreme Court will hear the case of a Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple based on his religious beliefs. Which brought us to a delicious counterprotest with the theme “Who Can Resist!” in the form of 18 multitiered cakes at Tuesday’s sixth annual Chefs for Equality party at Dock5 in Union Market in Washington, D.C. “If you like cake and dessert and want to get married or celebrate anything, you should be able to get it – as long as you pay for it, right?” said Tressa Wiles of Bayou Bakery, who has created a cake for the event every year.
