I am not sure that the cake is copyrighted, but rather the name of the cake? Similar to a title on a book?
Interesting that people seem to want to patent recipes rather than copyright them. But why can't recipes be copyrighted? Or are they? They are certainly an expression of an idea, whatever that means. If someone wants to try and define what an idea is please feel free.
There are certainly many novel techniques with regard to the production of foodstuffs, are you suggesting that if a chef comes up with a novel method of producing a highly nutritious food in an efficient manner that home cooks should not be allowed to copy this chef, else they infringe the chefs IP?
