I’m a lover of cakes and chocolates. I like how those taste especially after eating. Now, I’m craving for something new. Do you have anything in mind? Maybe, for another dessert that’s new to me:p ---

I understand [chocolate ripple cake](https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/choc-ripple-cake/ec490c9f-2a0e-40ea-b741-0606d08a5947)isn’t much of a thing outside Australia. It is, however, delicious. If you’ve never had it, it should definitely go on your list ---

We have a rhubarb patch. I love coursely chopping a few stalks then simmering the pieces with a tablespoon of water. I add zero sugar, my gf thinks that’s ridiculous and always adds some sugar. ---

Maybe too difficult to make at home, but a [Floating Island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_island_(dessert))is delicious. ---

I’ve always liked a nice bead pudding. It’s endlessly versatile, stale bread, milk, eggs, a little sugar then go crazy with the add-ons. ---

I love a good panna cotta… it’s like if whipped cream and jell-o had a delicious baby! 🙂 ---

I’ve just discovered _baumkuchen_. It’s a cake of German origin made by dipping big rollers in cake batter and rotating them in an oven. They’re dipped repeatedly until several layers of baked batter accumulate. The big tube cake is then sliced into thick rings and served up. But it’s mostly Japanese bakers carrying on this tradition. The baumkuchen I first tried came from a Japanese supermarket. It’s _superb_. It’s a light yellow moist sponge cake, tasting of vanilla and very lightly coated with a crip sugary glaze. In fact, I’m going to get some more today. [Here’s a baker in Japan making _baumkuchen_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxq-7RcC0Tc) - it starts at about the 2:45 mark. ---

I love fruit cobbler. My mom makes it with splenda for sweetening and a nut streusel topping instead of a crust so the carbs are only for the fruit. You can even use frozen fruit to save prep. ---
