Comments

For my recipe I have chosen ingredients from lots of places in the world and that we can find at Christmas. 
My cake called Santa Claus Short-Bread is inspired by the original Short-Bread from Great-Britain (Scotland), then I added honey from Egypt, orange from China and cinnamon from Asia. The whole recipe comes from the East of the world. Concerning the character of Santa Claus who gives his name to my cakes, it takes his origins in America.

To conclude my recipe illustrates peace and love in the world that we can only find for Christmas. Besides Christmas is unique, but celebrates all over the world, my cakes represents the world's impact of Christmas.
