Let Them Eat Cake, But Only If It's Perfect

Ok, here is an example of the hubris I think is running rampant in the food industry.  It's your cake, and although you might not be able to have it and eat it too, you certainly can do whatever the hell you want with it.  It's just fucking cake!  Who cares if someone made it to look like their pet or if the colours are too bright.  And, I want as much fucking frosting as physics will allow stacked on mine, because quite frankly, cake is shit without it.

I went to the link because I thought it was going to be something informative about how to best mix the batter, or the best pans, or something useful.  Instead, some narcissistic baker is telling people he doesn't like the latest trends.  And, "oh how dare you even consider just using up ingredients in your cupboard." Really, people should just throw stuff out and run out and buy fresh ingredients every time they have a sugar craving?  Oh, that's right, everyone has money to piss away like the owner of a famous bakery.

Let me help you with one other thing Matt, a little food colouring won't kill you.

Sorry about that rant, don't know what came over me.
