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

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.

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.
