And also, yes it's ridiculous. My friend was once refused from photocopying articles from a newspaper because she needed permission from the author. She was the author. She was copying them for her portfolio. They still wouldn't let her. Now THAT is ridiculous!
Most grocery stores bakeries will make an edible image for you without a problem. Then you can give it to the bakery making the cake or stick it on yourself.

Go to cvs/target/Walgreens and do the self scan and print a copy. Go to a different bakery (most will/can do edible images) and give the the clean copy of the pic. done.
I mean seriously, what are we supposed to do if the photographer is long gone? I mean I understand the copyright stuff, but for things like this, I think its stupid.
If you truly understood, you wouldn't think it's stupid.
I get that it's inconvenient and seemingly silly, but protection is necessary.

I understand the nature of copyright laws. My Uncle was sent to federal prison for selling knock off purses. I believe that for a 52 year old photo of a family member taken by a photographer who cant be contacted a baker could look the other way. It's a cake.
If I had one of my senior pictures blown up into a cardboard cut out, is that illegal? Or if I had one put on a t-shirt?
I've never done either one of those things, just didn't realize that the pictures had to remain a photo only?
Copyright protects an original work. One may not reproduce that work without the author's permission (excluding fair use). The form of reproduction does not matter.
A cardboard cut-out and t-shirt are reproductions.

So, the CDs of pictures our wedding photographer gave us don't really belong to us? At least not to do anything with except make a photo? So if I wanted to make my H something like a canvas for his office of the view from our venue, that would be illegal? Good to know. I thought it was possible to buy the rights to stuff like pictures. I thought we had. I better double check before doing something like that.

Your photographer should have provided you with a print release, which differs from the copyright.

The copyright belongs to the photographer.
I don't understand your hangup with form. A reproduction is a reproduction. There is no differentiation between a photo or a canvas or a t-shirt or a mug or a mousepad.
You likely have permission to print. Look at your contract.
I'm sorry you couldn't get the picture that you wanted on the cake. I have found that some businesses will reproduce professional pics and some will not. I know quite a few photographers, and I know that the copyright laws are super important to protect them and their art.
