If we take "Spanner" as the tool, "Spannertorte" suggests an inedible, industrial delicacy. In a slum setting, this fits perfectly with themes of poverty and desperation. A cake made of metal implies a festival of starvation, a celebration where there is no food, only the tools of labor. It paints a picture of a world so stripped of resources that the inhabitants fetishize the very objects that symbolize their toil. It is a bitter, ironic feast.
