Answer
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is not permissible for you to design a cake with the heineken logo on it. This will be regarded as assisting in sin. Allāh Ta’ālā says:
And to do not help each other in sin and aggression. (Qurān 5:2)
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
