dessert

The one super ridiculous indulgence I allowed myself on my recent trip to Paris was a visit to Ladurée on the Champs-Élysées. It's spendy and extravagant and silly but how can I, in good conscience, run this site about cute foods and not eat at the mecca of cute food-dom? I only had a few macarons, and they were exquisite! I wish I could have packed my suitcase full of pink meringue goodies like this one but it wasn't to be.

Tired of the endless parade of latkes and sufganiyot? It would be nice to have something that isn't fried for a change, These festive marshmallows are seasonally appropriate and a sweet respite from a diet of miracle oils. Of course they're still solid sugar, no one said the holidays needed to be healthy!

At first I thought this looked like the world's fanciest doorstop or something but then I started drooling and realized that my brain knew it was awesome food so why couldn't the rest of me figure it out? The only way to eat such a fancy dessert is in the tiniest nibbles possible. You have to be careful not to compromise the structural integrity of the stack.

Your love for desserts doesn't need to be all flashy, you can be subtle about it too.

It's time for dessert! I get the blueberry pie! sits and looks at it for a few minutes Okay that was great!

Hello Kitty is getting her jiggle on! I don't entirely understand these puddings. Are they like flan? Are they vanilla flavored? Coffee? I NEED TO KNOW!

Have you ever seen a cannoli so wee or so precious? I can get full heartedly behind this trend of micro desserts. Usually I only want one or two bites of a dessert and this way you can try a whole bunch of different nibbles and not feel all guilty about it.

I'm hoping no pointy bits were included in the construction of these desert desserts.

Nothing says love like a heart shaped dessert delicately dusted with cocoa powder. Sadly, I fear cocoa powder as it seems inevitable that I will accidentally breathe some of it in when I take the first bite and then I'll cough all crazy and destroy everything. How I wish I could enjoy a dusted treat.

Currants are perfect for a midday tart. Not too sweet, not too tart, not too heavy. I could go for a slice and a spot of tea right now to be honest.

Finger jello is super fun even when it's only one color and just hanging out by itself. Taking the extra time to layer a whole bunch of colors in there takes it to a whole new level of snack innovation. I wonder how it tastes with all those flavors in one mouthful? Like a rainbow of fruit?

The flavor combo here sounds so incredibly sweet that it makes my teeth hurt a little. But if that peanut butter is just salty enough, I bet these are a chewy, gooey delight! I sure do love the look of 'em!

Why wash your hands with a boring little nub of Ivory when you have choices like these?

This looks so soft and pillowy I want to sleep on it. Of course whipped cream isn't the best thing ever for your hair, but once you wash it I bet all the fat will make your tresses pretty soft. To eat or sleep, eat or sleep... tough questions.

I'm sorry I have to do this, koala, but you're just too damn delicious.
