That's what you do with cooking - you destroy your beautiful (and arguably tasty) craft immediately after completion. In some cases, you spend all your time on making it and OTHER people destroy it.
I suppose it's a discussion for another thread.. it just seems so frivolous.

I'd pick a different word that frivolous but I get the idea you are transmitting. Baking a nice cake for your girlfriend, wife, family that they really gets a kick out of has some merit there. I'd call it "too much work for too little return" or not enough value for the work put in. For me that example eating crabs.
