Coffee and Cake Still Life

Coffee and Cake Still Life
We've had this Battenberg cake in the cupboard for a few days now and I needed an excuse to eat some.............so of course I had to use it in a photo and then I could eat it afterwards (because it would be a shame to waste it).

I didn't have to share it either, as my wife doesn't like marzipan. I let her have the small biscuit though :-)))

Wenn man sie erst einmal aus dem Schrank geholt hat, darf man sie aus hygienischen Gründen nicht wieder zurückstellen. Außerdem warst du sehr großzügig mit dem Keks für deine Frau ;-))
Das war clever von dir! Und dabei ist auch noch eine sehr ansprechende Aufnahme entstanden.
