Court findings demonstrated that when Craig and Mullins visited Masterpiece Cakeshop, its owner, Jack Phillips, refused to design and create a wedding cake due to his religious convictions. Phillips claimed decorating cakes was an expressive activity and that forcing him to do it violated his First Amendment rights.
Origin
Charlie Cake Park can be found in West Leeds between Whingate, Armley Town Street, and Springfield Mount and takes its name from Charlie from Pudsey, who used to rest his horse here before selling his patisseries and petits gateaux in Armley and Kirkstall – so much so that the Gott family of Armley mills named this triangular piece of green after him!
The pedlar was famous for selling spicy shortbread biscuits at 1d each. His skills were so well regarded that Queen Victoria even presented him with some when she visited Leeds to open Leodis Town Hall in 1858! As his reputation in Leeds remained strong for nearly 200 years after he had passed, Gotts family has kept up its traditions by keeping up the name he made famous by selling shortbreads at such prices.

Ingredients
Charlie cakes consist primarily of treacle, ground almonds, vanilla, and mixed spice – or a mixture of dried fruits like raisins, candied orange, and lemon peels, and glace cherries if desired – along with other spice elements, such as nutmeg, mixed spice, and vanilla. Once prepared, they are baked in a cake pan for 2 – 3 hours before cooling and being drizzled over with some of the tea liquid left behind from drainage.
