With coding and with cakes, you are never really working on one thing at one time. One project takes multiple components or sections of code. We need to work on them separately, make sure they work on their own before combining it into the whole project.
Cake frosting is similar to learning a new program. Every new language/ design platform has their own quirks, and so do different types of frostings. The process of getting used to each is different, but it forces you to think quick on your feet to get the work done.
Design across different fields has its own quirks, but the basics are the same. What are the different components, when should each component be built, how will this look, etc. With food you think about how something will be eaten, and with websites you think about how someone will enter the page and find what they need to find. Different end goals, but as the designer you are still thinking about the experience the customer will have with your product.
