Some of the most popular Ten On Tuesday topics are the ones about food. And so, today, let’s indulge the old sweet tooth and make a list of my 10 Favorite Desserts.
- Cheesecake. Plain is my favorite but I don’t say no to other varieties.
- Pie. Any kind, any time. Mostly blueberry, though.
- Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. The absolute best cake combination in the world.
- Birthday cake. Please note that birthday cake needs to be yellow with vanilla frosting.
- Creme Brulee. A special treat that I don’t make at home.
- Cannolis. From Modern in the North End of Boston, please.
- Ice Cream Sundae. From Peaceful Meadows, our local ice cream spot.
- Brownies and Blondies. Homemade only and not from a box.
- Strawberry Shortcake. When local strawberries are ripe and the biscuits and whipped cream is homemade.
- Bread pudding. Also, rice pudding. But mostly bread pudding.
Don’t mind me but I’m off to the bakery!

Delicious! And holy smokes is that cake beautiful! I’m a big fan on blondies too. Great topic today Carole!
What I wouldn’t give to have my Mom’s homemade strawberry shortcake again! My list would have a slightly different spin on the ice cream though, it’d have to be Shibley’s – by boat, of course.
Yeah. This one is going to have me headed for the ice cream shoppe. Or the bakery. Or something like that. Chocolate cake with chocolate icing AND milk … sounds divine.
Great post of great eats Carole!! Bread pudding, mmmm. I forgot about that one!
Oh, strawberry shortcake! I didn’t even think about it!
So, just after 9 a.m. and now I’m hungry for dessert. Go figure! Here’s my list:
Strawberry shortcake (homemade biscuits and whipped cream)
Any of my Mom’s pies…especially apple
Marble cake with dark chocolate frosting or 7 minute white frosting…either works
Crème Brulee (like you, I don’t make this, but love it)
Fresh fruit salad — great in the summer hot months
Maple Walnut ice cream – has to be from a dairy in Vermont
Homemade vanilla ice cream
Buche de Noel at Christmas
Pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving
Anything with rhubarb!
That is one gorgeous cake!
6, 8, 9… I thought of Strawberry Shortcake earlier and forgot. SO MANY DESSERTS!! Yuummmmmm.
So glad I got in both my walk and my breakfast before being tempted by this post! Maybe I’ll have forgotten about it by the time lunchtime rolls around. Not likely, but maybe.
I love creme Creme Brulee, too. And, anything lemon or fruity. Great list and your idea of a birthday cake is spot on!
I’m with Vera– love rhubarb! Just plain ole rhubarb pie or rhubarb/blackberry cobbler! And every dessert on the list would be just fine!
P.S. That cake is beyond beautiful.
Oh, my gosh this was a challenge–to narrow it down to just 10!!
How did I forget cheesecake?!
You have to try these lemon bars Carole! http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017141-lemon-bars-with-olive-oil-and-sea-salt They are amazing.
Ditto on forgetting cheesecake and bread pudding…love your post photo and your choices .
Cheers~
Yum! Though I disagree – it’s got to be either yellow cake with chocolate frosting, or chocolate cake with white frosting. 😉
