While there are some dessert ideas I have formulated myself most are a derivative of recipes someone else had created. ...

And there lies the exact point I was GOING to make. I don't want to take anything away from the previous owner but it's not as if she created the recipe for chocolate cake or blueberry pie or key lime pie or whatever.... The criticism from Luvmypups would seem to me to be way way off base. For the most part pastry and cake recipes are all the same minus a few tweaks here and there. So where does this person get off telling you that you are "...taking credit for something someone else created ." I guess that we could say the same thing about Ms. Love then. Well in that case mike ray better watch out because he is stealing the old Lobster Pounds recipe for making Lobster.... ha ha ha
