Sweet Treats Trivia

1. I've been to several weddings before, so I know a traditional wedding cake when I see one. Which "peaceful" color does a traditional wedding cake usually have?

From Quiz My Best Friend's Wedding Cake

Answer: White

Even though wedding cakes, especially in modern times, can come in all sorts of shapes and colors, the first image that will usually pop up when discussing one of these cakes is the classic, layered white cake. Although the flavor can vary (it could be vanilla, marzipan or buttercream, for instance) and many more components can be added such as fondant and other decorations, the wedding cake is historically white because of its symbolism. The color white, among other things, stands for purity, which partly explains why the icing is almost always of this color regardless of the cake's flavor.

Dreamy, creamy and just a little indulgent - that's cheesecake! A Greek man called Athenaeus wrote a basic recipe in 230AD, where cheese was pounded and mixed in a pan with honey and flour. You can eat cheesecake hot or cold, making it a truly versatile dessert for any occasion. Topping the cheesecake with fresh fruit can also add an extra dimension to the dish.

Answer: Thin pancakes

Crepes are thin pancakes and their size really depends on how big the frying pan used to cook them is! I quite like maple syrup or lemon and sugar as fillings myself. Some adults enjoy Crepes Suzette - they are doused in Grand Marnier, which is an orange liqueur, and can be set on fire. This is really impressive to see at a restaurant!

An ice cream churn often looks like a large wooden or metal bucket, with a lid and handle on the side. In 1843, a New England housewife invented the hand cranked ice cream churn which made ice cream more easily available to everyone. Remember there used to be no refrigerators and no way to keep ice cream from melting, so it had to be eaten right away.

Answer: Sundae

A sundae on Sunday, wouldn't that be grand? The humble sundae's origins are contested, although it is believed to be of US origin and was first made in the late 1800s.

Macaroons originated somewhere in Europe. Someone made them with almonds, then someone made them with coconut, and then someone tried mixing them both together. Aren't you glad they did?

From Quiz Charlie and the Ice Cream Factory

Answer: Cow

Most of the world's ice cream is made using cow's milk. But the milk from each of these other animals could be substituted. Each type of milk would make a difference in the flavor of the ice cream because each has a different amount of milk fat.

From Quiz Lookie, Lookie, Here Comes Cookie!

Answer: biscotti

As well as having almond or anise flavoring, biscotti can also be lemon-flavored or have nuts or fruits mixed in. They were made long ago to be carried by Roman legions, who gave them the name biscotti. In northern Italy they are called cantucci.

Answer: Amount of milk fat in the product

Flour, yeast, and baking soda are not used to make ice cream. The biggest difference between ice cream and sherbet is the amount of milk fat used in production. Sherbet usually has less than 2% milk fat in the finished product, while ice cream usually has at least 10%, or more.

Answer: Trifle

A trifle is a whimsical treat that is bright and colourful and lights up a table. Everyone can take as big or as small a portion as they may desire. At its base, the sponge layer soaks up the fruity juices whilst keeping a firm texture. The middle fruity layer is rich and is often made of strawberries or raspberries. Pineapple pieces can also be used to give the dish a tropical tang. Finally, the custard (and cream) layer adds a nice dairy contrast to the tangy fruity tastes.

Neapolitan ice cream is an ice cream treat that originated in the area of Naples, Italy.

From Quiz Enjoyable Desserts

Answer: Vanilla

According to several polls and sales figures, vanilla ice cream is the most purchased and most popular in America and the UK. It brings out another dimension to the smooth, cool and refreshing ice cream it flavours. Vanilla comes from the orchid, which is a plant grown in tropical countries like Mexico, Madagascar and the Caribbean. Be sure to use 'vanilla extract' and not 'vanilla flavouring' if you want to taste the real deal when using it in your own recipes!

From Quiz Frozen

Answer: Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry

Neapolitan ice cream goes back to the 19th century Italy, in Naples. Italian ice cream maker Giusseppe Tortoni was one of the first to release Neapolitan ice cream. This combination of flavors is probably because they were the three most popular at the time this ice cream was created.

From Quiz Enjoyable Desserts

Answer: Christmas

Plum pudding is another name for Christmas pudding and is almost exclusively only ever eaten around Christmas time. This pudding was originally conceived in mediaeval times and has truly survived the test of time. It is very dense and bulked out with flour, suet and breadcrumbs. Raisins, currants and sultanas are also often used to pack out the pudding and give it a rich and dark taste. Whilst I like my Christmas pudding, I'm usually far too full after a large Christmas dinner to eat much of it!

From Quiz My Best Friend's Wedding Cake

Answer: It originally contained a pound of each ingredient

Pound cake is a rather simple choice because it only contains four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs and sugar. Originally, the cake would contain one full pound of each of those ingredients, however, over time the amount has changed. It can still be called a pound cake as long as the ratio of all ingredients is equal. Variations include adding orange juice and dried fruits.

From Quiz Enjoyable Desserts

Answer: Pavlova

The pavlova's namesake, Anna Pavlova, was a ballet dancer. Like her, the pavlova dessert is rather light and elegant. The meringue that forms the bulk of a pavlova is made primarily of beaten egg whites with sugar whisked in. A little cornflour and vinegar are often added too - these help keep the meringue from being as easily overcooked and over beaten. After being cooked in the oven, chopped fruit and whipped cream can be added to complete the delicious dish.

From Quiz My Best Friend's Wedding Cake

Answer: Three milks

"Tres leches" or "three milks" cake owes its name to its main ingredients: evaporated milk, condensed milk and heavy cream. It is a sponge cake which can be frosted with toppings also made from the ingredients above (such as condensed milk) and is simple yet delicious!

From Quiz Lookie, Lookie, Here Comes Cookie!

Answer: chocolate chip

In 1937, Ruth Wakefield was making cookies at her inn on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Running out of sugar, she used pieces of Nestle's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar in the mix, thinking they would melt into the batter. They didn't but became soft little chocolate chunks. And thus was born a most-favorite cookie. Mrs. Wakefield agreed to let the Nestle company print her cookie recipe on their bags of chocolate morsels. In return, Mrs. Wakefield received not only a cash payment, but all the chocolate she wanted for the rest of her life. Now, that was a sweet deal!
