Christian Bakers who faced $135K in penalties for refusing to make wedding cake for lesbian couple plan to relaunch business

The Kleins are raising funds to start a new business while their case is potentially headed toward the Supreme Court

Newsroom June 29 10:16

Melissa and Aaron Klein, the Christian bakers who faced $135,000 in penalties that were later dropped for refusing to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple, are working on relaunching a new business.

Following the shutdown of their Oregon-based Sweet Cakes, the Kleins are raising funds to start a new business while their case is potentially headed toward the Supreme Court.

“Over the last several years we have been strong as a family and strong as part of our church body. With life’s stresses comes a void that can sometimes be overwhelming. That void for me was my loss of love for baking and the joy that came with that. I’m here to say it never went away but it was a struggle to fall in love with it again,” Melissa wrote in her fundraising description.
