Copyrights on a cake design? - Page 5

I was thinking of the 2006 Wilton Yearbook. On Pg 17 there is the grill cake. I know it is candy melts and not fondant on the hamburger, but the idea is the same.

Here are some links that I found.

My guess is that whoever the person is, she is reading this thread. I would love to know what she is thinking.

Quote from pic,"made these for my son's kindergarten class......yellow cupcakes cut in half for bun.....smooshed Death by Chocolate cake balls (before chocolate dip) for patties......MMF cheese & lettuce......BC ketchup & mustard.....TFL"

Did she use "smooshed Death by Chocolate cake balls (before chocolate dip) for patties", 'cause then, OMG, you are in bigger trouble. LOL
Just had to put my two cents in. LOL

tee hee, send me her link and I will send her the same email she sent you, and threaten her with a lawsuit for breaking copy write laws ..hehehehe

oh but first...let me post some cheeseburger cupcakes on my ole webpage.


Yuck, yuck , yuck....

as a matter of fact...we SHOULD all join in...and REALLY get her knickers twisted.

bwwaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha!

oh eggie, behave!!

any photos of her work have automatic copyrights, but the cake itself? no way.

ok, can someone plesase fill me in on ho wto make the actual burger part, I really want to make some of these.....

That's crazy. There are a lot of cheeseburger cupcakes and hamburgers out there. I think this lady has nothing more to do with herself like someone said. She is probably jealous because yours were probably better and just want to try and scare you. To be safe you may want to contact a lawyer but I don't believe she has any base argument abou that. Good luck. Keep up the good work.

I gotta say I'd like to see her website so I can view her photo compaired to the original POST creator's photo

Also momof5kiki, you just make the death by chocolate cake or any chocolate cake would work. Crumble it into a bowl, put in some kind of binder (flavoring syrup for coffee, liquid coffee creamer, butter cream icing, anything to hold it together) roll into a large meat ball type shape and then smash it into a hamburger patty shape

I also wanted to add that I went to Google and searched "cheeseburger cupcakes" and guess what the very first website on the list was??? It's was........ TADA! Sharon's!

Out of curiousity, did she give you her website address?

Maybe you could share so we might all gain from the wealth of creativity that may be located there...

It's like...Don't open the RED DOOR...whatever you dooooooooo.

Dagummit!!! Now, I want to open the RED DOOR!

My opinion is that she was browsing around, saw your cheeseburger design and got jealous because yours look much better and way cuter than hers will ever be!! So now she's playing the jealousy card because if anyone sees yours before hers, they will pass on her design and come to you instead!

Seems to me that she just neds to take her ball and go play in her own yard.

Y'all stand back now, because I own the unique pattent on CHEESE!

so too bad for you all, Melvira, my Dark Queen...you will take the CAKE and I will take the CHEESE!

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahaha..

together we can conquer the world, or...get REALLY constipated.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaa!

oh yeah...and boo on that lady! She talking trough her OTHER mouth..the one she SITS ON!

[quote=] This design which includes the fondant slice of cheese can be found nowhere else but with us.[/quote]

1. I am sure it can be found somewhere else by someone else, way before she ever did these cupcakes.

2. She saids her cheese is made from (Fondant), the cheese on your cakes are made from (MMF). So as I see it e-mail her back and tell her no I did copy yours, mine cakes have MMF cheese. Unless she has also the copyrights on all shape and forms of fondants (I don't think so).

3. If something like this could be copyrighted....then I guess, KFC could sue me for making fried chicken with my 11 herbs & spices, Burger King, for making my big cheese burgers, that my family calls whoopers, (and no I did not use the copyrighted fondant cheese ). Pizza Hut for making a deep dish pizza. Taco Bell for making my taco's, ect. ect..

4. If this was send as a joke to you, it wasn't a very funny one at all. If this person really thinks that she is the 1st. and only person who has ever done these cupcakes and can hold a copyright on them, she needs to do more researching.

5. I agree with Shirley's post 100%.

6. Just can't stop laughing about this part: [quote=] This design which includes the fondant slice of cheese can be found nowhere else but with us.[/quote], I also agree with other post.... she needs to Google.

God Bless,
Sharon

P.S. the word (cakes) x 4 = 0.40...Bal. due to Melvira , I love your joke, very very funny!

I've baked a round brownie for the burger and it works great!

hope this works and hope it's not copyright and a little bit off topic
