They are nice cakes but cant read anything about them.

Cakedecor, Thank You for sharing the site. The simplicity of the cakes make them beautiful.

lol I was thinking the same thing!

I thought to myself
"Hey i've seen MOST of those cakes before"
and lo and behold, half of them are photos straight out of this website!!!

YIKES!!!

OMG I knew they looked familiar! it would have made me cazy.......good memory nati!!!

So then, whose cakes are they, the decorator from the UK or the one from Mexico?

Theresa

Boonenati, you are right!!! Very interesting that one site is in the Uk and the other Mexico I guess some people never learn!!

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Nati. I did not read through the entire website, did you notice if the "copycat" gave any acknowledgement to the owner of the designs for inspiring her work?

Theresa

They are beautiful cakes though!

WOW! That second website is amazing! I could only dream of making a cake like most of those!

There are a lot of cakes from Jacques Pastries as well:

Oooh, that makes me sooooooo mad! I hate it when people steal other people's cake photos, it's happened to me before and it always get my blood boiling!

Thank you, Fran. I was trying to think up the right words to use, which would not stir up a hornet's nest. I can recall a few months ago, several members practically grabbed their torches and pitchforks against that lady who copied some member photos from CC and used them on her site, but so far, you are the only one complaining. I commend your courage.

Theresa

I love both websites...
The cakes are very ELEGANT, pleasant looking, beautiful, sophisticated and very well presented. Very professionally made.. IMHO...They do not look disturbing, weird or sickening.. Thank you very much for sharing such pretty websites.. so whose photos are these then ? Should we call CSI or the FBI ?? I still think these cakes are worth looking. They are not bloody and gory looking..

What is with people? They must not do too much business if they have to steal photos! Well who ever originally did these did a lovely job - very elegant!

Thanks for sharing!!!

Exactly. I had just typed in "Does anyone else think these look very much like Jacques Pastries designs" when I noticed that someone else had posted the same thought.

They are all beautiful. I hope I can become half as good as she is!

Excellent website! Thanks for sharing it with us! Very inspiring!

Edited Addition: After reading all the way through the forum notes, it would be a total bummer if someone is using someone else's cakes on their website. That happened awhile ago and it wasn't pretty.

Course, my cakes never end up on anyone's website. Hmmm..... LOL!!!!

Do you think JacquesPastries and MaiseFantaise should be told about this other website using their photos?

I would be LIVID if I found out that someone was using my photos.

The Gallery doesn't claim them, but the "Who are we" (quienes somos?) does say " We are the ones that elaborate, carefully, the wedding cakes, and made them delicius..."
I guess they are trying to get some credit of those cakes trying to be carefull.

How sad! This seems to be happening more & more. They are beautiful cakes. Thanks for sharing the web sites. What happens if a customer asks the pirate to make a cake exactly like the picture? Do you all think they are capable or what?

I recognised some cakes from this website too

Cakes by Fraziska

seems this person collected pics from all over!!!!!


BTW, the other websites are AMAZING!

I wonder, if they have the talent to perfectly copy this cakes, why not make their own ones?, how can you offert something you won't be able to do EXACT?
I have had pictures of mine -the printed tipe- stollen from in a wedding show. I was so mad they did in my nose!
