Long ago, I was preschool aged and my Mom made a cake from scratch with scratch frosting. She let me work with her on the decorations. It was delicious looking. We took the cake to school and then went to a school presentation that my older brother was in. When we were sitting down, I noticed Mom didn't have the cake!
She then told me she made the cake to donate it to a bake sale at the school. I was greatly disappointed, because I thought for sure that we would eat the cake. I saw a family leaving with "my" cake, and I was making stern eye contact with them.
I think of that cake whenever I see gold dragees.

But serious question: if you've already planned/prepared serving the expensive stuff, why does it matter where it's placed?

Thanks!
I have learned that downvotes don't hurt too much. It's like water off a duck's loon's back!

I get the "loon" and "toon", so there's that. It's neat to learn slang for other cultures/countries.

I always thought of it as "two-nie"

Yes, I understand this. I frequently do the same for our house. I have a rotation of specialty meals and treats, and goodness gracious, there is mayhem and revolution if I don't have some for the home team. :)
