Theoretically possible if gay couples were a significant portion of the wedding cake buyer market. I think it is safe to assume that they are not as most estimates put the LGBT population ib the U.S. as less than 10% of the population. The owner's have probably done the simple math and assumed that a loss of up to 10% of their business is acceptable to them, thus making it acceptable to target a minority of the population. It is the same math historically used to target other groups at different times, such as blacks, Latinos, Irish, Italians, etc. Hence, I don't think capitalism really gets the job done in changing this type of behavior.
