Should I feel Flattered?

Nice to see my Little Black Dress brought about a post on this website, but think they should credit the designers of each cake there. I do try on Pinterest to recognize the original designers but it’s not always possible to track them down.

It is an utterly charming cake, Shirley. What a shame folks think it is perfectly OK to use any image they choose without credit.

Thanks Sandra. I wasn’t sure if I was being too sensitive.

It’s a shame, they don’t credit you.

Although flattering, they absolutely should have given you, and any other decorator, credit. Any publication or website worth it’s salt, does. I myself would have contacted them and said as much.

Not being too sensitive at all, Shirley. Your original designs should always be credited to you.

Ah well, that is the world of the internet I suppose. I don’t own a business so it isn’t helping or hurting sales for me, just bruised my ego a bit. :)

Shirley

Maybe you should just accept it as a compliment, which it really is, if you think about it. Someone considered your design worth sharing, so you know it is good.

I agree Sandra. Imagine if Van Gogh were alive today to see how many cakes have been done with his Stary Starry Night theme. :)

It happens to me and I am given a model by the client, without knowing where the client took the model and in this case, even if the design is not identical, an idea is taken, but I do not know whose design is. .
