A better example and more closely related to the "frosting case" may be the "dipping case", where you dip your particular piece (of something) in the dip after it is cut. | |

By the way, I do not agree that your question is more natural, except when dealing with cakes. The framework of the initial question is completely natural when considering fields enclosed by fences. | |
