Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2553269/fa...) Scrolling past a brand or a bake that stops you in your tracks is one thing — knowing what to actually do with that admiration is another. In this episode, Annie unpacks why so many bakers slide from inspiration into imitation, and gives you a simple framework for borrowing the principle behind a brand you love without copying the look. In this episode: • Why copying happens (hint: it's fear, not laziness) — and why it backfires • The one question to ask instead of "how do I make mine look like that?" • Real examples: packaging, captions, and photography broken down into the principle vs. the surface • A 3-question framework you can use the next time something stops your scroll • A first look at July's Academy Day brand walk in Brighton Mentioned in this episode: • The Profitable Baker Academy Membership: https://anniebennett.co.uk/the-profit...
