Use a photo that is clearly copyrighted from another bakery, in this case, Sprinkles Cupcakes.
I call out the soon-to-open Sweet Surrender Cupcake and Cookie Cafe in Boynton Beach, Florida not to be mean, but because it's both illegal and a huge breach of business ethics and not a good way to gain customers. Why would you post cupcakes on your site that are not yours? It doesn't even make sense from a business standpoint, because if people come in to your bakery, they will be expecting what's in the photo. Even as a placeholder, it's just not the thing to do.
In this case, I get that they haven't opened yet. Again, I'm not trying to single them out, just to give bakeries a heads up about what never ever ever to do. Save your website until you can post original photos. And give credit where credit is due; that's part of being a good businessperson and and a good Internet citizen.
Oh, and Sweet Surrender Cupcake and Cookie Cafe is hiring. That's how I found out about them and their site in the first place.

Home kitchens for profit are risky on so many levels. They are unlawful and tax-dodgers.
To have links to bakeries that do not have storefronts is misleading to your readers.
Don't blame the bake-ists, they might know a darn thing about the inter-web or how it works. But I bet you their Sons do and they should be skewered for this sloppy work, to think you'd cut corners and leave your mom high and dry!
Get a hold of these yahoos if you wanna gripe about it: www.Voltier.com
The website was built by them.
All the pics on our site are our own cakes and cookies, pastries and desserts.
Most people start their cupcake businesses from home as they are just starting out and don't have the capital to open up a store at the click of their fingers.
Instead of discouraging those who are trying to get their businesses up and running you should get your facts right first before jumping to conclusions.
