INFRINGEMENT ISSUES ???

I have a question concerning infringement. If I were to produce a bakery product, such as a cake....can I use a recognized image such as a company logo or pattern that is clearly recognizable on this product? Does it need to be changed to a degree to avoid infringement issues? Would appreciate your comments.

If your product is successful and you build brand recognition with their "modified" logo and they come after you, (even though you and your lawyer feel a court may side with you) you could be forced to change (or not if you win).
1) if you are forced to change, all that brand goodwill you built is gone.
2) why would you want to risk entering costly legal battles?
my advice is not based on patent law but common sense and marketing.
