the cupcake chain you speak of regularly sues small private business over so-called "trademark infringements." if you check it out, these claims have cost small business owners a great deal and have often been over issues only money could win. (My favorite example is the claim that only their chain can use sugar polka dots to adorn the top of a cupcake. However, this is a typical design used by generations of bakers)

can you tell i hate them!!!

I lived around the corner from Chez Brigitte in the eighties. What a great place. I hadn't realized it closed, glad to hear it is reopening. Your blog is fascinating.
