I'm not sure licorice counts as a dessert sweet, that's more of a candy,
Princess Emily
@deerleisure
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:08 PM
i mean i guess candy can be a dessert but I usually count them separately
Princess Emily
@deerleisure
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:09 PM
tapioca pudding DOES have that weird texture I don't like, and I do agree coffee-flavored stuff is usually not great
Princess Emily
@deerleisure
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:09 PM
coffee just has such a strong taste?
Princess Emily
@deerleisure
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:09 PM
and like when I drink coffee I can dilute it down with milk and sugar, but when it comes to desserts made with coffee I can't control how much coffee I'm tasting, and the bakers/makers always seem to be like "MORE COFFEE FLAVOR"

the buttercream or icing or whatever is fine, but the macaron itself is fucking NOTHING

I'm going to say the worst is when it is a type of dessert that I normally love but then they did something weird to it and I don't discover this until I've taken a bite
A Grinning DM
@TwiceBlessed

I don't know if that counts as a "type"

is "betrayal" a type of dessert?
zoki.
@kharamagic
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:18 PM
macarons are so expensive because they're so difficult and time-consuming to make...I love them, especially with the more creative flavorings, but I can only indulge rarely x.x
zoki.
@kharamagic
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:18 PM
but my least favorite would have to be buttered popcorn jelly belly beans

all that time and effort and they still taste like nothing

Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:19 PM
I know that's controversial, they're the most popular flavor, but

I never buy macarons but I make them myself at home a couple times a year, they cost an absurd amount of money in the shop

@tobu_RP
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:21 PM
if you make a nice flavorful filling and then age them properly, they absorb the flavor and get really nice and moist in the middle
zoki.
@kharamagic
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:21 PM
I think I just hate weird blends of savory and sweet...no wait, I have to change my answer
zoki.
@kharamagic
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:21 PM
the actual worst is the new mystery pop tarts. they're supposed to be everything bagel flavor, but it tastes like cheesy garlic bread with buttercream slathered on top
☆Tobu☆
@tobu_RP
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:22 PM
but there are lots of other cookies that are just as tasty and 85% less effort

@awestriker
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:31 PM
...why did they even make a savory-flavor pop-tart that completely misses the point
Snake-Kun
@Overbringer
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:34 PM
It's not inherently wrong, I think, but it IS wrong to make savory pop-tarts and then put sweet frosting on them
Princess Emily
@deerleisure
Sun, Jul 18, 2021 7:35 PM
my fav pop-tart are the cinnamon roll pop-tarts

and ALSO most of what makes them expensive is the effort involved in making them pretty

you can just fuckin, make ugly macarons with whatever combination of flavors you want and it's both way easier and exactly as tasty
