Sweet 100
I haven’t gone through the Omnivore or Vegetarian’s 100, but this one I’m doing. I’m considering it more of a “to make” list. I believe this particular list comes from Cakespy.
Things I haven’t eaten/made in plain text, things I’ve eaten but not made in bold, and things I’ve made preceded by asterisks. As it’s a dessert list, I don’t think there’s anything here I wouldn’t eat…though there are things I SHOULDN’T eat (Dutch baby, anyone? Oof).
- Red Velvet Cake (ok, I see the appeal now, but they’re way too rich for me!)
- Princess Torte
- *Whoopie Pie
- Apple Pie either topped or baked with sharp cheddar (many pies, no cheddar…next fall!)
- Beignet
- *Baklava (made a couple times in high school, would like to try again with homemade phyllo)
- Black and white cookie
- Seven Layer Bar
- Fried Fruit pie
- Kringle
- Just-fried (still hot) doughnut (had them really fresh, but not THAT fresh)
- *Scone with clotted cream (many scones, no clotted cream)
- Betty, Grunt, Slump, Buckle or Pandowdy (I know I’ve eaten a buckle or two)
- Halvah
- *Macarons
- Banana pudding with nilla wafers
- *Bubble tea (with tapioca “pearls”) (got some instant bubbles, still need to perfect my drinks but yeah, I’ve made tea with bubbles in it)
- Dixie Cup
- *Rice Krispie treats (ever eat the still-warm goop straight out of the mixing bowl? yum)

- Girl Scout cookies (overrated)
- Moon cake
- Candy Apple
- Baked Alaska
- Brooklyn Egg Cream
- Nanaimo bar
- Baba au rhum (tried baba in limoncello when I was in Italy, but it’s not quite the same)
- King Cake
- *Sachertorte (tastes exactly like you’d imagine a cake that can last for months to taste…not good)
- *Pavlova
- Tres Leches Cake (this might just be my guilty pleasure, and by guilty pleasure I mean “thing I reeeally should not eat due to lactose issues but my god am I ever a sucker for drippy moist cake and whipped cream”)
- Trifle
- Shoofly Pie
- Key Lime Pie
- *Panna Cotta

Edited for the last of the things we made in class and the results of my recent trip to the West Village.
