Being a hobbyist, I’d be flattered if someone copied my work…hee hee. But as I said, I’ve never directly 100% copied a design. Took elements, changed things up. I bet most decorators don’t know that a Canadian, Susan Trianos, invented the billow weave technique for cakes. It was so new, and different when it came out. Her dummy cake she displayed for the 1st time with the technique at a large cake show was stolen by a competitor. Then a decorator bought her DVD, and proceeded to put out her own version with a free tutorial on the “how to” on YouTube. You being a lawyer Julez can understand Susan’s angst. Once that YouTube video came out…it just bled. It was everywhere even tho it was copyrighted. We had a tutorial at my cake club, but our leader, out of courtesy, still asked Susan’s permission to teach us her technique. So, this is one of the reasons I don’t copy, and try to give credit where credit is due.
