I like all kinds of stuff from cupcakes to tiramisu to pumpkin roll! Pies, cakes, cookies, tortes, yummy. I have recently, though, been getting fruit to eat because I think it's better for me than the rest and the rest tend to make me want to eat too much of them. If I really want one of the less healthy choices I will get one slice of cake from the store. That's not always easy to find, though. So what do you like?
 

I have a sweet tooth so I try to avoid having any sweets in the house. I'd have to say my favourite dessert is a brownie topped with ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream. Long list of other goodies I love.

I do eat fruit every day. Strawberries satisfy my sweet tooth, somewhat.
 

I have to keep deserts to a minimum -- last I had was strawberry rhubarb pie. Love ice cream, but don't eat it too often. At Christmas I like to make a fruit trifle from scratch. Its high calorie and fat, but once a year only.
 
Pistachio cake, chocolate shoo fly pie, peach pie or apple, chocolate walnut brownies with chocolate frosting, cheesecake, and of course ice cream.
 
Four-layer cake, yellow alternating with chocolate, chocolate frosting in between the layers, divinity icing with melted chocolate drops swirled in on the top and sides.

My mother baked this for very special occasions. The last time I tried to eat even half a piece was probably more than 40 years ago!

But oh my, it was good!
 
Ice cream is my favorite. Also like Tiramisu, key lime pie and good french pasteries. I don't eat cake and pies too often though, I just look at them and put on weight. I also like the Lindt Milk Chocolate bars with liquid raspberry filling. :)

It's interesting that I used to have such a sweet tooth as a kid and now not so much...but when I go I go big:playful:

If I knew I was kicking the bucket tomorrow I would have a meal from below...several slices of maybe the whole thing, hey I might as well die happy ya know?

My Mom's black bottom shoo fly pie

Homemade lemon and pumpkin bars, and a caramel-like one my aunt called " Magic Bars"

Indian pudding and Breyer's Vanilla ice cream

Hubby's bread pudding with Chantilly cream

A dessert called Cinnamon Flop in the Amish country-basically a vanilla cake drenched in butter and brown sugar.

One each of every dessert at our favorite Indian place
 
I just got back from grocery shopping and I'm glad I got strawberries because after reading all the posts I really want something sweet! They didn't have any single servings of anything from the bakery there. I love everything everyone mentioned!MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!
 
Brown sugar fudge, chocolate cherry cream cheese brownies, homemade peach, apple, or cherry pie with my butter crust. Fuitcake with marzipan and royal icing, my favourite food. Belgian chocolates made right here! Lemon bars. Shortbread cookies. Spice cake.
 
Devil's food cake (minimum 2 layer)........Hershey's dark chocolate candy bars........Hostess chocolate cupcakes.

Did I mention yet that I like dark chocolate ? :)
 
I've met a dessert I didn't like -- is anyone familiar with matrimonial cake, its a date bar made with dates and oatmeal? Yech!

I much prefer carrot cake.
 
Ruthanne, I shall introduce you to the British Columbia classic, Nanaimo Bars, which were invented less than an hour away from where I live. Cookie/nut crumble bottom, custard centre, firm dark chocolate top. To die for. All the major supermarkets, including Walmart sell them.
