Thank you for your post Michal, and I massively appreciate your honesty in revealing you had not actually read the editorial, only checked the formatting before it was released.
I was blocked, and reported to Facebook. I am on a 24 hour ban from my page that occurred directly after I posted directly under the comment. I attach here two screen captures. Of course I have contested it.
My point in the monetising is that many of these labeled “FAKER CAKERS” have posted thousands of beautiful cakes on your site – bringing you lots of views, tags, comments and shares, and profile and it seemed strangely hypocritical slamming any of these cakes that have helped grow your site and saying there is a “new breed” of decorator, when decorative dummies have been used long before I daresay your Editor started making cakes.
I appreciate your point that the Editor does not necessarily reflect the views of CakesDecor – but perhaps that needs to be explored as well. As my deleted post suggests, it might be worth looking into inviting a few more writers into the Gazette to have a fair, balanced and well rounded view on the cake industry. It is very dangerous to be represented by someone that is keen to coin offensive labels on those within our cake family.
