Default Re: Have your cake and eat it too- explain this please

Yes, you've got it.

If you have a beautifully decorated cake on your table, it's pretty, but you can't eat it. If you eat it, you no longer have it. You can't have both.

You can't have the best of both worlds is a very good alternative.
