EBT Cards
In the United States, Electronic Benefit Transfer ("EBT") cards are a form of ID issued by state governments to facilitate the payment of benefits from federal and state-run needs-based public assistance programs. They are currently used for distributing benefits under programs such as TANF (commonly called "Welfare") and SNAP (commonly called "food stamps"), although their use could be expanded to other programs in the future as paper vouchers and checks become obsolete.

No
===============================
Whoever said no...that is NOT true. I bought both my children's birthday cakes with my EBT card this past year and yes, they were decorated. If you're concerned about it though, just don't have them put any of the plastic characters or anything like that on it, but my daughter's cake had barbie light up toys on it and EBT covered it.

Can you pay a special ordered cake in Publix with an ebt card?
Sorry, the rules about the government assistance cards are very strict. Only foods that are prepackaged for home consumption are eligible under the program. It is viewed the same as going to a fast food restaurant. So a speciality cake would fall under those rules because it is viewed as a luxury under the rules of the government. The same applies for deli hot meals; it's a luxury item and not eligible. The computer will reject your ebt purchase if it is under the food stamp program rules. Your cash allotment would have to be used.

YES, YOU CAN! I purchase birthday cakes all the time with EBT. I even bought a $300 wedding cake with some! Maybe it depends on the state you live in.
Can you buy pumpkins with your ebt card in NJ?
It is entirely dependant on whether the merchant selling the pumpkins has the facilities to accept electronic banking cards. Additionally, should they have such a facility, there may be a minimum purchase amount for which they will accept the card. This is because the banking transaction costs the merchant a rather substantial amount. Minimum purchase policies can range anywhere from as little as $10 up to $20 depending on what it costs the merchant.
Yes they do and some stores accept WIC to a certain extent
