It was so cool to watch my minion coming to life. Some of the icings were easy to spread, so I just squeezed those out of the tube, but the yellow was very stiff, so I used toothpicks to spread it. Then I took my colored icing and filled in the outline. This way if I made a mistake, I could just smooth the frosting over and start again. Then I outlined the minion shape on the cake with a toothpick. This helped me get a feel for their shape since drawing with a pen is a lot easier than drawing with icing! Luckily, my minion turned out great, and I have some tips so yours will as well. I’d never, ever done anything like this before, and I feared it wouldn’t go quite according to plan like a lot of the minions’ adventures. Like the minions have taken on many challenges, I challenged myself to draw a minion on my bright, citrus flavored cake. Sure, they’re a little mischievous, but aren’t we all? Those minions are just adorable and seeing their backstory is hilarious and makes me like them even more. Illumination Entertainment’s Minions is such a cute movie. There are different fun extras depending on where you shop. You can check out where to pick it up on the Minions movie website. I have been super excited to see Minions and was thrilled to pick up a copy to inspire my recipe. I made this Lemon Minion Cake to celebrate the Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack of Minions © 2015 Universal Studios. Maybe I’m part minion □īut, one cannot survive on bananas alone, so I think lemons are the next step for the minions. These are just things I have gleaned over the years from other industries with regards to copyright material.This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. But I would be concerned with a more general public display of the work. There might, however, be some concern if a business advertises the use of the copyrighted material in order to promote their own business or makes a profit on the use of the copyrighted material.Įven if a business makes a cake for a client with a copyrighted image or character, as long as they don't flaunt it in general public, it is probably not worth the expense of a lawsuit. In fact, one might say it continues to promote income to those entities. On one hand, I doubt anyone that makes a personal cake for family or friend is depriving The Disney(tm) Company or Universal(tm) of any income. This means, did your use of the material undermine the copyright owner of income or undermine a potential market for the work. Having said that, one of the factors of fair use is its affect on the potential market. The only real way to determine whether a use can be considered fair use is to have it tried in court. There are multiple factors that go into whether the use of copyrighted material or a copyrighted image is considered fair use. In reply to the copyright question, it comes down to determination of fair use. I just want a fair playing ground to make my living. The decorators on this site contribute terrific ideas and show immense creativity which fuels us all. Perhaps they shouldn't be allowed a watermark or mention of their business to make a true "Contest Entry"? And maybe a disclaimer with the demos? I'm all for giving credit to the artists. Sweet Surrender Bakes/Our Little Cakery and Geelicious Confections are showcasing them on their websites/facebook pages (as well as many other copyrighted characters) as products they make. They're no longer in business.īTW Cake Central - I feel some of these bakers with watermarks clearly showing their US company name on their posted pic encourages copyright infringement by other bakers desperate to make a buck in this cut throat economic environment. They all hollered, "Mickey!" and the baker was fined $25,000 plus attorney and court fees. They placed three year old children on the courtroom floor and revealed a picture of the cake that was made which had a silhouette of Mickey Mouse's ears. I heard a story about a baker that was sued by Disney. Disney has no mercy and I don't think Universal will be much kinder. And a LOT of people look at this site - including attorneys representing the rights of these license owners. The days of leniency may be gone as soon as the economic tide starts to change. (I've always said if you can't afford it, learn how to do it yourself.) But I'm pissed to see someone selling these cakes in the US for a profit without penalty while we stick to the letter of the law. I applaud the mom's making awesome cakes for their kids. The demonstrator is clearly outside of the US where the copyright laws have no teeth. We get a letter from the NFL Team in our town for every cake they order with their logo on it. I work at a retail bakery in Florida and we are not legally allowed to make a profit off of a cake using someone else's copyrighted art. Thank you for bringing up Copyright, WestTexasCaker.
