Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Sometimes cakes are baked in an individual serving size. What is one name for these small but tempting delights?

Answer: cupcakes

In some parts of the world cupcakes are also called fairy cakes. Cupcakes can be just plain sponge cake, but they are often either iced or sprinkled with powdered sugar. If you are feeling really creative, you can bake them with jam in their centre, too.
2. These Chinese cakes are traditionally eaten during the Zhongqiu Festival, which is celebrated in the autumn. If I tell you that one of the major activities during this festival is moon watching, can you guess what these cakes are called?

Answer: mooncakes

Mooncakes are usually cylindrical in shape, with a thin pastry crust and a filling made from bean paste - this may be the popular red bean paste, or the more luxurious lotus bean paste. Sometimes the yolk of a boiled duck egg is placed in the center, representing the full moon. They are very rich, and are usually eaten in slices, not whole.
3. For a birthday, you might want to provide a non-traditional cake, such as the ice cream cake described in the picture. Which of the following would you definitely NOT expect to find in an ice cream cake?

Answer: chocolate-covered ants

Ice cream cakes can be made entirely of ice cream, or they can be made of a cake base with an ice cream layer on top, such as the one in the image. The ganache that it refers to is a mixture of cream and dark chocolate, which can be used either as a paste to separate layers in a cake or as a glaze on the outside, depending on the ratio of cream to chocolate.
4. These delicious cakes have a layer of small white seeds pressed into one surface of the cake. Which of these seeds, often used in Mediterranean cooking, is used to make them?

Answer: sesame seeds

While all of these are seeds that are used in cooking, only the sesame seeds could be described as small and white. The cakes in the picture are made from a dough that has been sweetened with honey. The dough is formed into balls, than flattened into a tray of sesame seeds, so that they become embedded into one of the flat sides. Bake, cool, enjoy!
5. These cakes are going to be served at a party celebrating a marriage. What is the usual name given to such a cake?

Answer: Wedding cake

The pictured wedding cakes are somewhat unusual in that there are several small ones rather than one large one. Sometimes there are figures on the top of a wedding cake, representing the bride and groom. The ritual cutting of the cake by the happy couple is often a highlight of the wedding reception.
6. These tarts are filled with caramel and topped with a nut that is actually native to Australia, although most people think of it as a Hawaiian product. What kind of nut is it?

Answer: Macadamia nut

The macadamia nut originated in northeastern Australia, Indonesia and New Caledonia. The nuts were named after John Macadam, a friend of the scientist who first categorized them. Macadamia seeds were exported to Hawaii in 1882, but macadamia production did not really take off until the 1920s. One of the difficulties in commercial development of the nuts was the extreme difficulty encountered in cracking the shells.
7. Do you know the name of these delicious small cakes made from egg whites, sugar and (usually) either almonds or coconut for flavor?

Answer: macaroons

The recipe for macaroons varies around the world, but they all start with beaten egg whites, sugar and some kind of ground or shredded nut - almond, hazelnut and coconut are the most common ones. Macaroons are often eaten by Jewish people during Passover, because they do not contain any wheat or leavening ingredients, which are traditionally banned during Passover.
8. These flat cakes are usually cooked on a griddle called a bakestone or maen, a name that is also used to refer to these delicious flat cakes in their country of origin. Which country of the United Kingdom gives us picau ar y maen?

Answer: Wales

Welsh cakes are made from flour (self-raising for thicker and lighter cakes, plain for thinner and crisper cakes) and butter, with egg and/or water or milk added to make a nice doughy consistency. They are flavored with dried fruit (usually sultanas, raisins, or currants), spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, and may have sugar added to the dough or sprinkled on top of the finished product. Sometimes the dried fruit is left out, and they are served split in half and covered with jam.
9. Since you can read, it won't surprise you to learn that this is a picture of some funnel cakes. Which of these is NOT another name for this kind of cake?

Answer: Lamingtons (in Australia)

The concept of squeezing batter through a narrow opening into hot oil where it can be deep-fried and consolidate into a cake of worm-like pieces melded together is popular around the world. The ones in the picture have been covered with jam and fruit, although it is more common to just sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. Lamingtons, by the way, are made by cutting a tray of sponge cake into cubes, and dipping each one into a chocolate coating, then rolling it in coconut.
10. Fancy cakes are often baked for special occasions. For what holiday was this creepy spider cake probably planned?

Answer: Halloween

Spiders, skeletons, and other scary objects are commonly seen at Halloween parties. The Jack-o'-lantern in the background should have provided a good hint, as well, since they are a traditional Halloween decoration.
