Cake decorating is an art. It takes HOURS for people to decorate a cake. I mean, I can't be the only person to sit down for one How To Cake It video only to look up and realise it has been 5 hours, right? Well, that's not what today's episode is about. It is actually about Miley Cyrus and that time she stole a cake design. No really. It got me wondering if, like art of other forms, you can copyright a cake design. Well Theorists, it's about to get LEGAL!

10:47 I’ve always known “uncopyrightable” as the longest word that has no repeated letters in it. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen it actually used in a sentence.
-
6:33 I was today years old when I realized: THAT is why recipes are secret. They don't have legal protection against bring replicated and sold in competition.
-
Such a bizarre part of the claim is that Miley used 'her handwriting' - can you claim copyright to a font that you used, when the font already existed? It's just capital letters printed - how is that part intellectual property?
-
I don’t really think writing something on a simple looking cake takes that much creativity.
-
i just wanted to eat my cake man i didn't know i was going to prison for this
-
2010: the cake is a lie 2020: everything is cake 2020, mat pat: is your cake, ILLEGAL?!
-
9:16 There's a fourth caveat. Level of Uniqueness. A lot of things that people think should/could be copyrighted are not unique enough to be copyrighted, and yeah, the cake in question is not even close. Anyone could emulate this relatively simply. Honestly, as much as copyright gets abused, anything I create goes public domain. Yeah. 'Nuff said.
-
This is the sort of thing that makes me think "Oh, she just wants to make herself look good/better than others instead of just supporting the cause"
-
Imagine getting arrested for making a cake that says happy birthday
-
Here's something that I don't see discussed, Miley was likely not even aware of the Rae cake. She was just acting as the model/spokeperson. Someone else on the team that was responsible for that ad probably was the idea thief.
-
What I love most about this drama is that it clearly shows that it's not about spreading the message, it's not about fighting for a good cause, it's not even for "empowerment". It's all about personal gain, the "feel good" and personal attention.
-
This reminds me of a wedding I was at where the photographer wouldn't let anyone else take photos of "her" poses. She was even downright rude to everyone about it.
-
you cant just say that 20% of my genes are copyrighted and a moment after try to make me interested in cake law
-
“Is your cake illegal?” Cannibals: Perhaps.
-
Miley didn't make money out of the cake design so why is she asking for compensation 😩😩
-
By contrast, marks & Spencer is currently suing aldi for copying their 'Colin the caterpillar' by claiming that the cake is protected under copyright as Colin is a recognisable character, they're not trying to claim the type of cake as their own, only the similarity of the toppings etc

Food/film theory: How many calories are in scooby-doo’s / shaggy’s sandwiches
-
"I didn't want to make an episode about cake law" Subway episode flashbacks
-
Each time Mat says something about colors, I cry. And it's 100% because I'm colorblind, ngl. Because I thought the cakes looked different
-
I'm so glad this cake can’t be copyrighted
