Food Week: Just Desserts.

My grandmother always used to say, "Wouldn't it be great if people ate their dessert first?" I always wondered why she never did, so today, friends, let's eat our dessert first in honor of her, shall we? I'm going to do it at dinner today. Are you with me? Maybe these treats will entice you...
Reese's Cake
Checker Board Cake
Sweet Candy
Cupcakes + mini cupcakes
Fudge Brownies
Coconut Bars
Peanut Butter Pie
Blueberry Crumb Cake

So now tell me...what's your favorite dessert? xoxo

P.S. Check out Bake or Break for more sweet treats + this awesome directory of food blogs!

P.P.S. An entire site filled with cupcake photos and recipes!

There's a restaurant near my mom's house that is famous for their dessert and they have the same mentality, so as soon as you walk in, their dessert case is displayed right in front of you and the best part - they have the dessert first in the menu!

I would like that peanut butter pie, RIGHT NOW.

Poppies and Sunshine said...

I really wasn't hungry, but now I am! Oh my goodness that first dessert with the peanut butter cups looks amazing!!

Michelle said...

Oh my gosh! Yum! Cupcakes for sure. I love all types of cupcakes paired with all types of icings--but mostly red velvet and cream cheese. My dream is to "put my college degree to good use" (aka not use it at all) by opening a cupcakery. Wouldn't that be lovely?

Hollie said...

Italian Creme Cake is my fav dessert. :]

Melissa Blake said...

Hollie, I've never had Italian creme cake! Sounds delicious!

Hi, Melissa! I'm new to your blog. Looks like I showed up on a good day... I want ALL of those goodies... but my favorite dessert of all time has to be coconut cream pie. YUM! xo!

I indulge in a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter icing about twice a year. Totally worth the wait...and the calories! :)

Wendy said...

Tiramisu made from scratch YUM!And homemade chocolate chip cookies (with ice cold milk for dunking)

Wendy said...

PS- Though about you the other day - My boyfriend made a cake and there was nowhere near enough icing on it. A cake needs it's icing, ya know?! :)

Becky said...

What a lovely surprise these cakes were on my Google Reader! Especially the coconut bars, yum. I've always wondered why we eat in the sequence we do, I'll have to try to eat dessert first one day...

Tonia said...

Well that Reeses cake just blew my diet out the window! My favourite dessert would be either the stupendous pudding I made the other day, or a mexican puddle pudding - how can you resist chocolate and chilli?!

Simply Mel said...

I'm a huge fan of good ol' apple pie!

Jilly Bean said...

I cannot choose just one. Tiramisu, vanilla ice cream with melted peanut butter, red velvet cake with real buttercream icing.

Best. Post. Ever. And my favorite dessert is anything that is sweet and tastes good. I am not picky at all.

Right now I am on a big salted caramel kick. I love salt and sugar together.

My kids always tell me that although their "dinner" stomach is full that they still have plenty of room in the "dessert" stomach. Maybe your grandma felt the same way...Carol

katha said...

OH MY GOODNESS. I want that Reese's cake, right now.

SilverNeurotic said...

My entire dinner consisted of dessert. A little apple pie at work, and then a bowl of ice cream when I got home. I'll have to be good tomorrow.
