          This, I guess, is drawing on Horace's Ode to Postumus:
          "Sadly, the fleeting years slip away."




          Eheu fugaces Postume, Postume, Labuntur anni,




          vitae labilis (without est ) means 'slippery lives,' or 'stumbling lives.'
          For 'Fleeting years' Horace chose Fugaces Anni.



          'Life is Fleeting,' if you would like to follow Horace, would be Vita Fugax, or Fugax est Vita.

          The verb is unnecessary, so you could simply say:

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
