I was just reading an article in Salon about The History of Dessert.

from that article:

"...Put another way, the making of sweet things reflects the impulse to achieve the sublime, the spectacular, the inimitable, and the nonsensical."

I think that says it nicely.

don't worry about the stickers. I approve of everything you do.
