I am interested in this topic- as a new business I have put a blanket rule against doing character cakes for want of doing the right thing legally, but I will make a complimentary design for the customer to stick their own topper onto. I don’t mind this but I can see I could end up losing business to the person who will do it. I also see very big name cake designers doing character cakes so have they got permission? If so how?
Any help/clarity on this would be greatly appreciated it!
