In the cake case, the baker had refused service to a same-sex couple, the Colorado commission found discrimination, and told the baker they couldn't refuse. So the case heard by SCOTUS was based on religious discrimination against the baker.

The website case is closer, in that the website designer had not actually discriminated, but she wanted to, so she went to SCOTUS to have the right to discriminate on religious grounds.
