100 Desserts

From WC over at ReTorte.

1. Bold what you've tried.
2. * What you've made.
3. Cross out what you wouldn't like.
4. Italicize something you've tried but didn't like.

I don't bake a lot and I'm not a real fussy eater, so I haven't met many desserts I haven't like. Some of the ones I crossed off, like coconut cream pie, just aren't my favourite thing but I'll enjoy a slice if that's all that's going around and I'm craving something sweet. It was fun to google what some of these things were to see from the ingredients if I thought I would like them or not.

Hey,

Thanks for taking the time to do this! I always love reading about what other people like and dislike. You did pretty well on the trying end of it (not everyone is a baker, and not everyone - shockingly enough - is a dessert preson!). Some of these things are pretty obscure and I had to do a lot of Googling just to find them for the list!
