Wouldn't work. The courts would pierce that contractual veil in a heartbeat, and I see the pun. You can sure try but it won't work for most couples or in most cases. The church and the individual have an equal standing to make a contract. If the services were only offered to one, without the vendor being established a "religious" entity, it wouldn't pass the courts. Since those kind of wedding services are not aspects of faith, it would die in the first hearing.
If you only sell wedding cakes to churches, but you are a PA, the first time another corporate entity, say a movie studio, wants one, you're fucked if you don't make it.
Not even close. The PA part is general baked goods. That's all that is offered to the public. Wedding cakes are not offered to the public. The service would have to be paid for through the contracting parties.
The PA part comes with the business, not the offerings. The entire business would have to be only baked goods sold under contract, which means it wouldn't be a PA.
Or, you could try to establish it as a religious entity, like a monastery that makes coffee. That would be a serious stretch in this case.
You are wrong. Just wrong. A contract is defined by the terms of the contract. If the terms only include wedding cakes it includes nothing else. If the contract is to supply brownies to the military it doesn't include cookies.
No, I'm not wrong. You cannot be both a PA and a private not open to the public firm at the very same time. You would have to be two firms with a joint-operating agreement to use the "shared" facilities. If a customer walks in a sees a wedding cake for sale, you're screwed because in the front you are a PA, which makes the entire business a PA. It's not the offerings that make the difference, it's the setting.
And just because you make brownies on the one contract and cookies on another if they want to write new contracts for both, both have to be offered.

Public accommodations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Within US law,
public accommodations are generally defined as entities, both public and private, that are used by the public. Examples include
retail stores,
rental establishments and service establishments, as well as
educational institutions,
recreational facilities and
service centers. Private clubs and religious institutions were exempt. However, in 1984, the
United States Supreme Court declared the previously all-male
Junior Chamber International, a
chamber of Commerce organization for persons between the ages of eighteen and thirty-six, to be a public accommodation, which compelled the admission of women into the ranks.

Under United States federal law, public accommodations must be handicap-accessible and must not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin.
[2][3] The US states, in various non-uniform laws, also provide for non-discrimination in public accommodation."
