@Cake.by.kaity accusing another creator of plagiarizing her box mix and Fruity Pebble recipe

For background, Kaity makes and sells cake pops and has a pretty big following. She fully admits to using box mix, almond bark over real chocolate, etc. This creator, Sweet Treats by Ashley, also sells cake pops. She made a tutorial for fruity pebbles cake pops and even credited Kaity for the recipe in the caption. Kaity made a video, which she has already deleted, attacking her and accusing her of stealing her copyrighted recipe from her cookbook.

The recipe is literally just a few different kinds of box mix and some fruity pebbles. It's not the Krabby Patty secret formula. And Ashley made a response video saying she never even bought Kaity's book, which is very believable considering the recipe already existed online from the makers of Fruity Pebbles before Kaity used it.

She's already lost one of her biggest sponsors, Daisy Makes, who are one of the main manufacturers of cake pop supplies. They even canceled their ongoing product collab. Fruity Pebbles also reposted the recipe on their site yesterday, which was pretty funny. Kaity just posted an apology about an hour ago but it's basically just the standard influencer apology.

I have always gotten the mean girl vibe from Kaity and always expected something like this to happen eventually. I'm just glad there are actual consequences.

Pan Ams coverage

I'm definitely happy they are streaming on Youtube free, but it was truly ridiculous the number of times they focused on the Brazilian gymnasts waiting for scores or for their turn when there was actual gymnastics happening!

@ms..mccarthy4, students fundraising for a custom Jeep for their teacher. She is appearing in the videos with them.

Does anyone else see this and notice all the red flags? They are high school students fundraising to get their teacher a Lilly Pulitzer custom Jeep, they have a GFM for $12k with under $1k raised so far.

The students aren't the issue, it's that the teacher is aware of this plan and is making videos with the students promoting the fundraiser. They finally got a nice PR haul from LP and the next post was an ask for more brands to send PR.
