[Nfb-krafters-korner] Is this a craft?

[tribble]

I'll add one more stipulation: It is a craft if I get a slice when you cut 
it...*smile*
But more seriously, I agree there must be a creative element -- for example, 
last Halloween a group of young people from church brought us some decorated 
cookies -- the consisted of an orange color pumpkin cookie with orange 
frosting with a chocolate kiss stuck in it so it looked just like the wicked 
witch of the west after she melted -- the kiss forming the hat.  I found 
that quite funny and rather creative. It was fun eating all those 
witches...*smile*

For me, it becomes a craft because it involves the decorating aspect.

Technically, you could apply that to the presentation of a meal but I think
it takes more skill and aesthetic.

Okay, I can justify it any way you like but I want someone to teach it to
blind people. I believe that was one of my first questions for this list. I
am looking for more skill than simply being able to spread some icing and
have it cover the entire cake--like ridges on the edges, fluting, how to
write without touching the cake, leaves, hearts and any other kind of
element.
