I've discovered a new recipe for a wonderful Christmas cake. It's very yummy filled with a delicious cream and surrounded by gingerbread men. And so very decorative, isn't it. 
So it's my third cake painting (first you can find here Kuchen/cake). Maybe it's the start of a new series. 

“Take the broken pieces of your life, bake a master cake out of it. 
Don't stand still like a lake; keep flowing like a stream!"

Auf einem Berg aus Zuckerkant, 
unter einem blühenden Machandelbaum, 
blinkt mein Pfefferkuchenhäuschen.
Seine Fensterchen sind aus Goldpapier, 
aus seinem Schornstein raucht Watte.
Im grünen Himmel, über mir, rauscht die Weihnachtstanne.
In meinem See aus Staniol 
spiegeln sich alle ihre Engel, alle ihre Lichter!
Die kleinen Kinder stehn rum 
und staunen mich an.
Ich bin der Zwerg Turlitipu.
Mein dicker Bauch ist aus Traganth, 
meine Beinchen Streichhölzer, 
meine listigen Äugelchen 
Korinthen.

Arno Holz, 1863-1929
