I was contacted by a lady who wants an edible Elvis cake topper for a 1/2 sheet cake. That is all I know at the moment.
I'm thinking she must mean a gumpaste figure...How do you usually charge for your figures?
If I can get some more information, I'll post here.
Just on the price issue I would charge $50 to $75 minimum for myself.
And if that was my order, to 'feel better' about potential copyright things for me who liveth in Elvistown, I would tack on another $25 minimum to donate to the Trauma Center that Friends of Elvis financially maintain here in the Bluff City. It is the only trauma center in this region. Elvis started it and this place keeps head injured people's heads from exploding. And as a matter of fact my husband was in there last year and I can't express my gratitude.
But all my personal drama aside---$50 to $75 minimum pour vous.
When he was in the service, they asked him what he missed about Memphis. The king of R&R said, "Everything." ![]()
Yeah to be a really good girl I guess you should. I'm randomly guessing it would not be ok with them. But you never know till you ask. I go to church with his former nurse. Cool huh? These fancy schmancy mirrors from Graceland were donated to our church too, they reside in our foyer.
I am uber careful about copyright stuff. I just say no. I mean I say no to everything anyway. But somehow the donation to the Trauma Center would absolve my wicked egregious copyright sin. mea culpa me culpa
But of course that's just me.
Hunka hunka burnin' love thoughts pour vous.
I mean a blue suede shoe would get the point across too.
Would it be a copywrite issue? Is his likeness copywritten? We all know he's still alive somewhere

Well yeah he's alive but he just left the building. ![]()
I would dare to say every inch of himself and his property is copywritten.
Totally off topic - how far is it from Nashville to Memphis? I have a conference in Nashville and part of the reason I want to go is to FINALLY get to see Graceland! (Elvis has invited me to make p.butter and banana sandwiches for him for lunch) Thanks!
