Appropriate use of the word SOOTHING
Soothing means having a calming, assuaging, or relieving effect.
I know it could be used to describe sounds, touch and color.
Examples:
He has a very soothing voice.
Classical music is very soothing.
His caress was very soothing.
Green is very soothing to the eyes.
But I was wondering if you could use it in the following ways:
The cake is very soothing.
Soft fabric is very soothing to the skin.
I hope you guys could help me on this.
