What does the red text mean? The speaker is the narrator talking about carrot cake preparation.[Image]

Question

Answer

The speaker is 'mixing metaphors.'

GOLD STANDARD = an expression from currency and economics, used here to mean 'the best example.'

WEIGH ANCHOR = an expression from sailing meaning to raise the anchor and get moving.

So, the overall sentence means: "Will the finest example of carrot cake be ready in time."
