I think they just need a sign. "We're happy to take special requests, however, management reserves the right to quote and apply a surcharge for designs that require specialized artistic ability, are deemed risque or offensive, or require special resources to accomplish."

You want your cake covered in gold leaf? Sure, but you pay for it. You want your cake covered in hate-speech? Sure, but you pay for it.
You want a gay cake topper? We don't have them, but we'll charge you to special order it ahead of time so you can place it on the plain cake we make for you.
