When you cast a piece of food that object is lost, it can no longer be eaten. Sometimes after I cast something that looked really tasty I wonder if it was worth it. I am not questioning the value of my work, its just that cupcakes are really good, and I would probably rather eat a cupcake than look at one.

I decided to bring this question to a larger audience. I cast a basket of cupcakes and went out to a few bakeries to see if people would rather buy a real cupcake or a porcelain cupcake for the same price ($2.50).

Most people just wanted to eat a cupcake.
