The decorations were supposedy put in place to celebrate the anniversary of the company that owns the building.

But according to China News, a potential upcoming legal battle may not be a piece of cake for the business, with experts saying that the decorations violate historical and cultural regulations for buildings near the Bund. Guess you can't have your cake and eat build it too.
