18 May
Summary
- Bakers accuse rival of stealing cake designs and content.
- Dispute escalated to include allegations of online harassment.
- Police investigated harassment claims but found insufficient evidence.
A fierce rivalry has broken out in Bury, Greater Manchester, as bakers accuse each other of stealing designs and posting fake reviews. Cherella White and Hayley Comiskey-Harwood claim Louise Bowler has been copying their cake designs and social media content since 2023. They allege Louise posted images of their creations, some with altered watermarks, on her business pages.
Louise Bowler denies these accusations, suggesting the rival pair are attempting to damage her business, Lou's Cake Box. The three-year-long feud has led to a police investigation into harassment claims made by Hayley against Louise. However, the Greater Manchester Police have since closed the case due to a lack of evidence.
Cherella and Hayley state that other bakers have also come forward with similar claims of content theft. To protect their work, both bakers have begun watermarking their designs. Louise Bowler has expressed a desire to resolve concerns privately and respectfully, emphasizing her commitment to honesty and professionalism in her business.
