I like your dessert and want some. Your use of the idioms is very good except for 'cut corners' which works, but is a stretch because he is not doing it at all versus doing it poorly. Be careful matching your tenses but good job practicing your idioms. :)

(l'espressione ha un significato negativo, in ogni caso, ma ovviamente si può letteralmente tagliare gli angoli d'una forma d'un foglio di carta senza significato negativo... :)
"Have a rest" mi suona un po' strano ma devo dirti che parlo "americano" invece "inglese". Forse "have a rest" sarebbe corretto in Inghilterra, non so esattamente, ma direi invece semplicemente "...sit and rest on..."
Comunque, complimenti e buon lavoro!
