Smile request

Hello

I'd like to ask about the expression of a request.

I heard that " Will you ~?" sounded strong and it was like an order. Is that right?
I know " Would you ~?" or " Could you ~?" are more polite. And there is another way of " Will you ~?" like " Will you try this cake?"
I wonder in what situation and to whom you use " Will you ~?" for requesting.

Would you help me to understand this usage?

Thank you.
