PSA:
Please know that we are always happy to make cakes for your special occasions and we strive to fulfill your wishes as to designs and decorations whenever possible.
However, as a commercial Bakery, we do have to abide by Federal Copyright Law and we would like to use this post to explain what that entails.
If it's a licensed or copyrighted logo, character, image, celebrity, artwork, lyrics, cartoon, etc. we can ONLY use what is in our cake catalog as we pay licensing fees for those items.
As for photos and images on cakes, we can only use snapshots that you took yourself or hand-drawn original artwork. We cannot use ANY images found on the internet as those also fall under the Federal copyright law.
To be perfectly clear... it is ILLEGAL for us to use a copyrighted image on cakes for re-sale!
This law applies to everyone but, unfortunately, we sometimes still have clients who ask that we "do it anyway" and even argue with us when we explain why we can't.
We don't understand why someone would ask us or expect us to break the law. 😢
It may not seem like a "big deal" to some, but it IS illegal and comes with HUGE fines, terminations and legal consequences if caught, and that is a risk we can't take, but we will always do our best to help you find options.
Lastly... we do understand that it may be frustrating, but PLEASE do NOT take it out on the Bakery employees... we don't make the law, we just follow it.
Thank you all for your understanding.
