Actually, a clarification:
the agreement was in asking the requesting party exactly what they have
in mind, because the person being asked COULD get the request right (in
that what they make is a "true" Vietnamese wedding cake, assuming such a
thing exists), but the requesting party might have something else in
mind, something that they THOUGHT was a Vietnamese wedding cake, but
isn't.

I was reminded of some people I know who own coffee shops. They tell
stories of customers who walk in and ask for a such-and-such a drink,
and get annoyed when they're served the correct item, but they either
misremembered what the drink is, or were told the wrong name somewhere
else.
