The cake designer can only release his/her part of the creative process under a free license (baking the cake/making the photo). I would suggest to just specifiy that the logo-part is copyright WMF, the photographic and cake-baking component to be released under CC-BY (not -SA to avoid the SA clause to make things complicated). That way everyone with permission of the WMF can reuse the design if wanted.

Silly question for you all:
Is http://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/File:Wikimedia_cake.jpghttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_cake.jpgactually copyrighted to the WMF as a WMF logo? The cake was made for Wikimedia UK, so it's technically a derivative work, perhaps...
Any ideas what the copyright status of this should be? Does the author (Jezhotwells) have the ability to release it under a free licence, if s/he wishes?
