TV helps, but maybe sometimes it doesn't...
We just need to tell people up front that if they want a recognizable icon reproduced, we can't do it, period, unless it doesn't resemble the original at all. Great. So at a bride's princess/Disney wedding, she'll hear this: "I thought this was a Disney theme...Who are those random MICE on the cake in sweat pants, with no gloves? Who made your cake, dude? Don't they know what Mickey Mouse looks like? And who's the brunette in a green dress, in the pumpkin coach?" LOL It doesn't help that they're seeing this done ALL the time on TV, with no warning that it's not as simple as just calling up and asking for the design. Easier to just say we can't do duplications.
"Now, if I can direct your attention to this nifty sheet cake"... LOL
Does anyone know how one (like us) would go about even GETting permission to do a cake with a known icon on it? Nike swoosh? Harley bike?

Email the legal department.
makes me wish the cable shows might mention, for customers *out here* : "Do not try ordering this at home unless you have first secured permission from the CEO of whatever logo you wish to see on your groom's cake." Might save us some hassle.
LOL, that is actually a really good point.
"We are keen to increase links with leading brands. We would be thrilled with the opportunity to work with a brand such as Louis Vuitton."
i guess that discussion didnt go quite as planned, a 'threatening letter from LV' mentioned on their site suggests not!
(btw, ive tasted their cakes, very tasty, and very good to look at too)

Here's the deal--there's one Mickie Mouse. Even if he's blue he's still Garfield. There are multiplied bajillions of freaking purses. So long as I don't use their logo per se--I am more than fine.
And don't forget about the 'specially spiced' brownies when I'm in the slammer.
I have no magic brownies, my avatar is an illegal, I have given away my practice cakes for the past 2 years, Oh what am I to do!!!! My world is crumbling around me!!!
Thank you guys for keeping my days exciting!!!

so long as it's just your world crumbling and not your cakes you're gonna be fine
Well to avoid court costs and time away from my business, I'll just not make them. Hmmm makes me wonder why I've never seen Collette, Ron, Mike, Marina or any of the other Cake Masters making character or designer bag cakes or shoes. Unless it's a competition and even then there's a representative there. So....
