*Pastry chef Manfred Klaschka told ORF public television: “If someone orders it, I make it. I don’t really think about it. Basically, it doesn’t interest me what the customers do with the cakes. I have to make a living.”
In a separate interview with the daily Oesterreich, Klaschka insisted he was no Nazi. “If someone wanted a Gaddafi cake, I’d bake it for them,” he told the newspaper.

Klaschka isn’t quite as blameless as he’s claiming. The article points out that the complaint was over a catalog the bakery had which was offering nazi-themed cake designs. So it was not just Klaschka accepting requests from his customers - he was soliciting those requests.
Nazi cake, nazi-cake, baker’s man.
Bake me a cake as deadly as you can;
prick it and mark it with Zyklon B,
Put it in the oven with baby and me
I am probably going to hell for that, but seriously Nazi cakes?
I saw that the bakery is called Tortendesign. Perhaps Tortenkopf would work better.
But the fact that the bakery specifically offers nazi designs in a catalog is the damning fact. The cries of, “Just fulfilling our customers wishes” doesn’t hold up against that fact.
