Hi there everyone! I am VERY new to all of this and I had a question. On another forum I read someone responded to a post and said that if the cake that someone was making was of a licensed character that they could not sell it. Is this true? I am not selling right now, as I said I am very very new to cake decorating and will be doing a lot of practice and classes WELL BEFORE I take my first order. But just for future refrence......can I not sell a cake that someone orders if it is of a licensed character? And how do I know if that character is licensed?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice!!!
Happy Decorating,
Casey
The pan will say on the bottom, "for home use only" if it is a licensed pan. These are the usually the character pans from Disney, PBS, etc. and not generic pans like flowers or teddy bears. And you are correct, you cannot sell a cake made from a licensed pan
You can try a search for copyrighted cakes and will come up with a lot of threads. It sounds like the only way to get around it is to sell the base cake (not a shaped pan) and then the customer (not you) may place on toys (dolls, cars, Barbies) that they have purchased.
That is kid of what I was thinking. Make the base cake and decorate it to incorperate the toys, but let the customer add those when I deliver. That would probably be the only way around it I would think.
Thanks again for the help. I am still new to the site and everything so I wasn't sure where to post this and where to look for other threads like it.
Happy Decorating!
Casey
