Pocket Watch cake

 

A pocket watch cake for my brother’s birthday. He uses pocket watches like the 16^th century tradition of stuffing the watch into the coat pocket and attaching the chain to a coat, lapel. Pocket watches have long been replaced by wrist watches; he wears a wrist watch too. And then there is a clock on mobile phones. He must be really punctual with three reminders of time….. he generally is!  Lets all be punctual. 

I think we all aim to use time to the maximum but "time burglars" foil the best of intensions. My time burglar are the incessant video clips of cooking, crafts, cats and babies and other topics that the computer knows are of my interest.  They are mesmerizing and before I know it- an hour has passed.  Time also flies when I am decorating a cake such as this one; but cake decoration is time well spent.

If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of. Bruce Lee
