Plagiarism
Here in the Netherlands there’s a ‘company’ that uses cakepictures of other, often famous, bakers as if they were made by herself.
For example; she posted a picture of a cake from Cortons & Crumbs and there were people who gave her compliment. Her answer: ‘thank you’…..
It’s so brutal. With a group of baking girls we are busy tagging the original deisgners/bakers but she continues and this is so frustrating!
We also informed facebook that it is not appopriate and hope they will delete this page. She removes the negative reactions and blocks people who gave a negative reaction….
Peggy Porschen is takin steps and so do others. If you want to check out if there’s a cake off yours on the page you can check it out her: https://www.facebook.com/taartenwereld.tilburg?ref=ts&fref=ts

WOW, you aren’t kidding! She is claiming several Maggie Austin’s cakes, and many cakes I have seen here! I mean really, claiming you made William and Kate’s wedding cake on Facebook? It’s almost laughable. Crazy!
And what about the Verusca walker snake cake.. As if!!! It’s ridiculous :/
Love making 3D realistic looking cakes <3
I messaged Maggie Austin on her Facebook page. Maybe if more cake artists knew about it, Facebook will do something.
It is totally ridiculous! If you have the patience to scroll all the way down to 2012, you can see the true standard of her work!

Wow, almost all the cakes on there belong to others. What a nerve!
if you leave a comment that what she’s doing isn’t legal she start to send you private messages that she has friends who can visite you. I left several comments but I’m blocked now ;-)

I’ve been blocked by someone else too. She was doing the same thing actually thanking people for their comments.
Appalling behaviour! I can never get my head round why people do this?

This is why it’s more and more important to watermark everything. At least then your name appears and it’s obviously been stolen…
Hehe I can no longer comment on that page and she has removed my comments. At least, I kept her busy for awhile.
