Tommy Art

<div>Flipje, the famous little fruitman from Tiel. Behind Flipje a silhouet of the Funfair. In his hands we see a bakers tool used for putting the famous Kermiskoek in or out the hot oven. The cake itself has a little light effect in the paint. So, if you pass by in darkness a light will shine on the cake and show the sparkle.&nbsp;</div>
