Thanks to you all, it's 7:05 am here Wed morning and I'm laughing until I'm crying on these old commercials. Hilarious I say, Cambo and Debi your killing me here..........................I've got a few more pages to read , but don't know if I can now. Thanks again for the laughs and the Utube.

I have to agree with the not sharing CC with anyone lol. I tell them I have a cake idea site that I go to for ideas when they don't know exactly what they want and then I'll save pics to my favorites and show them without letting them actually see the link or the site name for fear they'll come here and make thier own cakes and I'll lose that business lol.

My husband's ex-wife's mom asked me for my buttercream recipe because "it tastes so much better then the super market cakes" and wanted my butter cream and cake recipe. I just looked at her and laughed and thanked her for the compliment and told her they were my grandmother's recipes and I was sworn to secracy before she passed and I couldn't share them but I'd be happy to supply her with an order form for her next function. I've yet to get an order from her lmao... Go figure!

I tell them sorry, it's my signature recipe. Period. Nuff said...

A former cake decorator in my area sold her recipes for quite a few $ when she retired. I wonder if she used the cake extender.

Talking about old commercials...how about the one (I think it was L'eggs) that the little girls says...Look Mommy, you look like an elephant or something like that about her sagging pantyhose around her ankles?

Even back then I wanted to back-hand the little brat! lol

One word PROPRIETARY. End of story. I very politely say, I'm quite sorry, but ALL my recipes are proprietary to my business. And then as several others suggested, I tell them to Google whatever they are asking about and I'm sure they'll get thousands of recipes. Lori
