Even the casual observer could see my baking tin collection was lacking in the tall/skinny/mini muffin department. Not any longer, courtesy of Ikea and their Drommar muffin tin and cases. Not available on-line so my Mother obliged when they happened to be going along. I daren't go myself. It wouldn't have stopped at baking tins. It never does, and indeed along with the tins came some cookie cutters...
These are dinky little cakes, maybe half the size of a usual fairy cake and a bit taller. Very stylish, and only spoiled by the over-designed cases. Come on Ikea, make some plain ones...pleeease.
I wasn't very precise when filling them and they ended up like a miniature Giant's Causeway of cake. Covered in lurid icing, that was meant to be delicate but I'm heavy handed with the colouring. Sort of matches the cases for subtlety.

Anyway, now for something completely different.
Imagine if you will: you're reading a blog and something niggles at your mind, reminds you of something else. So you Google a few phrases that seem out of keeping with the general tone of the blog. And there, in all its glory, is the same peice, written sometimes over a year ago by someone else. Same words, same pictures mostly. Copy and paste job.
What would you do?
It's a serious question, for I have indeed encountered this very situation. With the blogger passing off the post (or at least the greater part of it, with small personalisations) as their own work and even accepting compliments on the content. And it's not just one post.

There's being inspired by other people's work. There's unintentional and subliminal influence. There's quoting and giving credit to the source. There's plagiarism.
Again, what would you do? I know some of you have experienced having your designs, photos and such copied or stolen, but has anyone just boldly knicked your content? (And I hasten to add here it's not my stuff being 'borrowed')
I am a coward and daren't just send an e-mail outing the perp...
