I really feel like baking some brownies or making donuts, but everyone in this house is too broke to buy supplies and there's not a good bakery within comfortable driving distance at this time of night, so we'll just talk about sweets instead.

What are your favorite sweet things to eat? Any local bakeries you enjoy? Do you like to make sweets? Just talk about sweets.

Here, 'sweets' are the same thing as 'candy', we don't really include things like cakes and donuts into the same category. Idk, England is weird.

I have a sweet tooth, big time. Anything sweet or sugary is just <3

I can't bake, however, or make any kind of cake or dessert, as much as I wish I could. I did make flapjacks in school once, back when I was like, 15. They were pretty freakin' nice.

My life revolves around these things. I get like, a bag every 2 days. They're amazing and one of the good things about 'Straya.

Special brownies?


I love sweets. My favorites would be Twizzlers, Skittles, and Starburst, but just about any kind will do, except for stuff that's a chocolate-peanut butter mix and a couple of other things.

I'm more of a salty person, the only sweets I eat with regularity anymore is cereal, which I mean, doesn't really count. I really like those cinnamon roasted almonds, but those aren't exactly a common find.

yeah those supplies get pretty expensive lol

I love chocolate, ice cream, candy, cookies, cakes and donuts. All things sweet are good to me, though my taste buds revolt against foods that are sickly sweet such as over-sweetened pastries that contain caramel.

There's only one candy bar in my eyes, I'm all about that payday. I enjoy the taste of the sweet caramel and the salty nuts in my mouth. I can't really stand many other candies because everything wants to have too much chocolate or peanut butter and it just makes me feel sick.

Desserts are my number one weakness. There was a long time where I really contemplated becoming a pastry chef because of how much I enjoy making them. I love just about all of it. Brownies, cakes, cookies, etc. Some specific favorites are carrot cake, baklava, cheesecake, coffee cake, cinnamon buns, pumpkin bread, banana bread, gingerbread, and more I can't think of.

I tend to not like the dessert if there's coconut shavings all over it or just very sweet jam baked into a pastry. Although strawberry/raspberry/blueberry are usually doable for me. I also hate tiramisu and I'm not a fan of trifle.

I'm a fan of sweet stuff, but both sides of my family has a diabetes history so I need to control my sugar intake. And then I'm a fan of salty stuff but both sides of my family has a hypertension history as well so I also need to control my salt intake.

My life sucks. :<

But damn how I love me sweets. Brownies, cookies, cake, donuts... :F

I love ALL sweets. Literally, every kind. I'm more partial to baked goods and chocolates than I am with straight up candy, though. I love all kinds of ice cream like gelato, froyo, etc. but I don't care for shaved ice. I hate how it gets watery.

I eat a lot of sweet foods. I love them all.

For lollies I like Nerds and sour gummy worms the most. My local supermarket has its own brand of sour gummy worms that are amazing but they have been out of stock for the last month (enough to make me cry).

For biscuits I love my double coated Tim Tams, gingerbread biscuits (local supermarket sells these amazing ones from Sweden) and Kookas raspberry cream shortbread.

My husband has access to the Cadbury factory so we currently have a massive box filled with Crunchie bars, Cherry Ripes, Boost bars and Curly Wirlys.

I like pretty much any cake except black forest cake and fruit cake. If I go to a bakery I usually get myself an apple cake. There is a bakery in the next suburb over that does amazing apple cakes with the perfect use of spices. Om nom nom.

I almost forgot ice cream. I like my ice cream with chocolate and caramel. As a result I absolutely love Magnum Egos.

I'm extremely sensitive to sweets. I kind of like them I guess but I get sick often if I eat them. So I usually avoid them.

I have a part time job at a creamery/bakery so needless to say, I get more than my fair share of sweets. Not gonna lie though, I'm getting a little burnt out on ice cream.
I love brownies, though, especially when they're fresh, warm, and loaded with icing. I have NEVER been that person that enjoys the cake more than the frosting. I love frosting. It's almost impossible for there to be "too much". T_T
As for candies, I am very obsessed with gummy bears, sour gummy worms, and jelly beans right now. Normally I go for the creamier kinds like chocolates or caramel, but lately I just want gummies. (▰˘◡˘▰) Anyhow, I do try not to overload (too much) because it does make me feel sick really fast. Especially if I eat it too frequently.

I don't really like cupcakes or cake anymore, or ice cream really other than mint chip ice cream because it's the best flavor. <3 I do love candy and chocolate though, if I don't eat too much of it.

Some days I think my parents and boyfriend only keep me around to bake. {XD}

All kinds of things have been coming out of the kitchen lately. I prefer fruity baked goods, myself. Peach cobbler is a personal favorite (and ridiculously cheap, quick, and easy to make), and other fruity cobblers/pies, things like that. Warm, gooey, and cinnamony. <3
Chocolate chip cookies seem to be the house favorite right now. I'm almost getting sick of the smell of chocolate chip cookies. Scratch that, I can't hate that smell. They're too good. Though I think I've converted Boyfriend to chocolate crinkles. He says they're like little, sugar-coated brownie-cookies, lol.

The other day Boyfriend and I ran to the store, and on our way out he passed through the aisle with the baking supplies.. and inevitably asked, "If I get the stuff, will you make brownies?"
He stays here on the weekends now, so now it looks like I'm making brownies tomorrow night, haha. But I can't complain. I love baking, and I love eating what I make. I've spoiled myself; I don't like store-bought anything. If I can make it from scratch, homemade is the way to go, especially with dessert. The only store-bought sweets I like now are donuts and candies, and that's only because I can't make those yet. ...Yet.

I finally got to bake something, although it wasn't brownies it was something. We had enough bananas to make three loaves of banana bread, but of course I couldn't put any nuts in it because apparently some people in this house are nut haters. So it didn't turn out as delicious as I wanted it to, but it was still pretty damn good.

I'm a donut kinda guy. Good thing since the profession I am going into is known for loving them. :)

I also really love blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers, Swedish Fish, and coconut-chocolate. Mmm.
