Copyrighting a Recipe

i can't copyright a canvas, but if i make a painting, it's mine, right? I mean, non you can't just rip it off. The specifics here e pretty amazing. A vanilla cup cake decorated with yellow cream and white jelly beans arranged to mimic corn kernels. A fo butter slice made from a yellow fruit tue and black and white sugars to imitate salt and pepper. And we had noticed the man about the quasine of miss haig's native singapore contained recipes and stories nearly identical to the ones in her own two thousand and 12 ok book. Miss hag even replicated some of missus miswee's personal recollections in much the same language.
