Why is play food so cute?

Felt sandwiches and knitted desserts...  Why do grown people feel such a strong pull to make cute stuff? I call this "kawaii crafting".  According to Wikipedia, kawaii is "the quality of cuteness, espcially in the context of Japanese culture". 
Anyhow, I saw the pattern for knitted ice cream cones here, and immediately made two.  (Upon looking at the pattern photos again, I blocked the frill on the pink ice cream cone so that it would point downwards - much improved!)
My next kawaii project?  A knitted campfire.
