Woman Demands Cousin Hand Over Secret Dessert Recipe to Use in New Restaurant Business, Cousin Refuses But Family Rallies Against Her: 'You're gatekeeping creativity'

Welcome, tea-sippin' sisters. Those of us who enjoy cooking and baking know that coming up with your own recipes takes a lot of trial and error. You feel like a little witch or wizard, trying different ingredients and ratios until you finally unlock the perfect potion that has everyone at the dinner table totally enchanted. It feels wrong to simply give away the secret recipe that had your family members agreeing about something for once during Thanksgiving. Maybe it's selfish, but that kind of power should not be revealed haphazardly — especially not to family members who plan to monetize your hard work by putting it on their restaurant's menu with zero credit to your creativity.

In our story today, an aspiring baker is accused of hoarding her unique dessert recipe when she refuses to share it with her cousin. Her cousin had no intention to make it for a dinner party; she wanted to put the dessert on the menu of her new restaurant business. No payment for the intellectual property, no royalties, no nothing. Get all the details down below.
