Question

according to the slides, what should be considered when pairing icings with cakes?
the color of the cake and icing should always match
heavy frostings should be paired with light cakes
light frostings should be paired with light cakes
all icings work equally well with any type of cake

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect as color matching isn't a primary consideration for pairing icings and cakes.
• The second option is incorrect because heavy frostings should pair with heavy - textured cakes (to balance flavors and textures), not light cakes.
• The third option is correct. Light frostings (like a simple glaze) pair well with light - textured cakes (such as sponge cakes) as they complement each other in terms of flavor intensity and texture.
• The fourth option is incorrect since different icings have different flavor profiles and textures that work better with specific types of cakes.

Answer:

C. Light frostings should be paired with light cakes
