If you were in Seattle, I think this place would do the trick. Browsing through their sample books can be, um, eye-opening.
My last comment on the hijack: my proudest moment as a baker came about six years ago, when two of my friends held a simultaneous graduation party. One of them had just passed her bar exam, and the other one had just gotten his Ph.D. in mathematics.
I generally bake something or other for any party I go to, but I wasn’t sure what to bake for either of these two – until inspiration hit.
I showed up at the party with two desserts: a torte and a pie.
That’s also my proudest moment as a punster, too: when the hostess saw what I’d brought and cracked up before i opened my mouth, I knew I’d done good :).
Okay, carry on with the booty cake laws!

On a related note, I’ve really wondered - why is it so many Americans think that “free speech” is an inalienable and absolute right that applies to everything from a bakery to a homes association newsletter to a high-school paper to an internet message board?
Where does this notion come from? Is it just a case of mass mis-remembering, a failure of the schools and teachers, or pure Missouri-mule stupidity?
Well, Una, it pretty much is all those things you mentioned. The thing is, you can’t force others to espouse your speech, which is what the OP’s friend wants to do. The friend has a right to object to the bakery’s policies, and to voice his/her opinion of those policies. He/she just doesn’t have the right to compel the bakery to express his/her views.
Or, did I miss something in your post?

I have no idea. Maybe it’s minor narcissism, “me me me!”
Good news though! We were able to get the cake done, of all places, Jewel-Osco! (midwest supermarket) We went all out and used some pretty “non-wholesome” pictures, and they went along with it! I guess it really depends on the person. I would post a link to the cake in question, but that may violate SDMB standards.
