So for the sake of making this point:

The bakers didn't force someone who didn't sell cakes to sell them a cake. They asked for someone who was selling customised cakes to make them a customised cake.

Say the couple (even a straight one) went into the bakery and said they wanted a champagne cake. (Apparently such things exist). Or a cake with liquor in it.
The store says no because selling liquor (or even handling it) goes against their religious principles.
The cake doesn't get customized the way that they want. (If that is all that you see this being an issue of).
Do the couple have a case that they have been denied a service? Nope.
Same principle...the first amendment is the first amendment. Simple as that.
