It’s not my favorite but I love peanut butter cookies. Crunchy, with bottoms that are almost burnt. I also like pineapple upside down cake. ---

I don’t really like the kinds of dessert you can make at home without patisserie certification. I prefer classy desserts. All classy desserts have one thing in common: they are layered. Marzipan, fruit preserves, phyllo dough, whipped cream, custard, ganache, or cake may constitute the layers. The more layers you can see in a cross-section, the classier the dessert is. The classiest dessert of all is the Napoleon. ---

As a baker it’s kind of strange that I can’t name a favorite dessert. My favorite food is fresh bread, with butter. For a favorite meat I’d say fried chicken. Favorite breakfast is toast, bacon, and over easy eggs. Favorite snack is chips and salsa. For outside cooking it’s hotdogs over a fire. Of course, for the above items there are many items in those categories wherein I like other choices almost as well. But I can’t name a favorite dessert. If forced I’d probably have to name good quality ice cream. But then I’d start thinking “What about homemade baklava? Or devil’s food cake with fudge icing? Or…?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favorite-dessert/656499.md?page=3)
