Why fudge frosting?


In the hallucination sequence with Claire in the hospital after the drug overdose, Nina appeared with a large cake covered in white icing. So why then, when Claire commissioned the teenager to bake the cake, did she ask for a yellow cake with chocolate fudge icing? Was there any significance, or did the director think a cake with chocolate frosting would be more tantalizing to viewers?

Maybe because kids love chocolate?

Because Yellow Cake with Fudge Frosting is the most delicious homemade cake ever. Truly crave-able!

I agree. My mom made this a LOT when I was a kid; now my father-in-law makes it. YELLOW cake, though, NOT Lemon.

Can't think of any significance, maybe the director just really thought "chocolate fudge icing" sounds more delicious than "white icing".

Nina's cake was for her child. Perhaps Claire's cake was for her boy as well - that is, perhaps that was his favourite cake.
