      That’s like saying “why ruin bread with butter?”

      Actually coffee and chocolate are a perfect combination and things like espresso are commonly used in stuff like baking chocolate cakes to bring out all the flavors enhancing the chocolate. For this reason I and many others even put a little bit of instant coffee in our hot chocolate despite not liking coffee!

    I love his pastries, and I’m sure they’re delicious, but I have a pet peeve about using gears incorrectly as decoration. That annoyance usually comes up for me in bad steampunk cosplay, but it applies here too.

    Gears aren’t that complicated. Even if they’re made of candy, it wouldn’t be hard to make them at least mechanically plausible. Gears are purely utilitarian objects, and when you use them visually, they imply function by their very shape.

    Yes, gears are sometimes put on display, like in watches or clocks, but in those cases every gear is functional. The beauty comes from the mechanism actually working. Once you remove the function of a gear, you remove what makes it beautiful in the first place.
