Have a wedding cake booked in June for a Jamaican themed cake. Found the perfect one on Duff's website titled "Islands", so I emailed and asked permission to use this design concept. Heard back from them and they said yes, they were flattered! They also included a saying that is so appropriate to using someone else's idea without permission..."Good artists borrow. Great artists steal."

the probally like the fact that you asked first. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that just want the cake made and don't care about who origanly designed it.

wow LOL maybe Jackie should ask is she can use that.. And make it CC's Motto.. hehehehe.. (did I start a fire or what!)

That is so neat. He seems like a nice person.

P.S. (clearing throat) Mac hi how are you!! May I borrow your idea of the recliner with a remote?? TIA!!

Most definitely!!! I think cake people are the nicest people. Don't you?
And you can definitely use any design I have. Alot are inspired from here.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Who is Duff?
I'd like to see his site!

This is Duff's website. He has been in a few of the Food Network Cake Challenges. One was the Sports theme, another was Halloween, I think, and I think there was another one???

Oh... I know which Duff you mean! Thanks for the head's up. : )

I love that guy! He's the coolest cake decorator!

He is cool and a lot of fun. I think the pressure of competition puts a strain on his work... especially when he's timed. He is an awesome decorator, but I wouldn't appreciate him nearly as much if I'd only seen him in competitions. : )

Oh, WOW! Just saw that cake on Duff's site. It is absolutely gorgeous! That will be a fun one to do!
