That phrase is about fancy cakes, like wedding cake art. You can't keep the art and eat the cake. Like the food network cake competitions, some of those things are super creative, but you can't have the art and eat the cake.
It's like painting custom wrapping paper, or printing on toilet paper. If the purpose of something is to be consumed or destroyed, it can't do that and look good at the same time. You have to choose between having pretty mocha art and drinking a mocha.
