Have cake and gawk at it, too

Adding this one to my list of favorites:

Cakes range from the utterly stunning to absolutely hilarious to downright shocking! I really enjoy seeing the artistic talents of cake decorators, especially when the creations are so good you can't tell they are edible objects. Still, for whatever reason, cake decorating has not appealed to me as a personal hobby. I love to create, but I hate watching my long hours of hard labor get destroyed in seconds. I think that's why I never take the time to "perfectly" wrap presents. It's painful to me to watch gorgeous wrapping with expensive ribbons and bows get torn up, soon to be thrown in the trash. Don't get me wrong -- I think that cake decorating is still amazing, and I am in awe of the brilliance and careful deliverance of the creators. I can appreciate the hard work of others, without desiring to do it myself! Perhaps my reluctance, too, to perfect gift wrapping is that every Christmas I have so many gifts to wrap that I just don't have the time to create works of art in wrapping. I used to put ribbons on everything, but now I don't bother to do that within my own family. I save the ribbons for gifts for friends and relatives -- plus hurray for reusable Christmas gift bags! It's not that I don't love you, everyone! Just appreciate the gift, but I don't expect you to admire (in fact, I often prefer you not even look at) the wrapping.
